Fort Warden (near Port Townsend) is nifty

A few weeks ago we were in Port Townsend for a wedding. I hadn’t really spent any time there in about 8 years and remembered enjoying Fort Warden so Christine and I hung out there for a few hours before heading back home.

Fort Warden is built right up to the water and into the side of a sand dune. Most of the structure is still there and open for exploring.

Here are a few photos.


The Fort really is right up against the water. The circle in the foreground held one of the unique “disappearing” guns that could raise and lower.


All of the passages and rooms underneath are open and dark.


Just a cool photo of some old Fort stairs.

Anyway, it’s a good place to explore if you are in the area. I’m sure that I’ll return.

    This old fort is a great place for kids with flashlights to play. The beach on both sides is beautiful.
    Fun place to take a kayak.
