We woke up to a cool, cloudy day which we had expected. After breakfast we only had time to drive around the Fort grounds which are actually quite incredible. It is a historic spot with lots of buildings and history that we will have to take in another time.
Fort Worden is an early 20th century U.S. Artillery Corps fort. It was used as the headquarters for the Puget Sound Harbor Defenses protecting the entrance to Puget Sound and the naval shipyard at Bremerton.Commissioned in 1902 Fort Worden's military buildings have been preserved and you need to plan some time to take it all in. There is an extensive system of large, abandoned bunkers available for exploration, the Coast Artillery Museum, a balloon hangar that was used for airships, three 3-inch anti-aircraft gun emplacements, and several restored quarters on Officers' Row, and the Point Wilson Lighthouse.
We will be back.
