Fort Worden State Park

I love any excuse to go to Port Townsend, a neat town with an interesting maritime history that is about a 45 minute drive from Sequim. My boat lover husband often finds reasons that take us to ship’s chandleries or places like Edensaw Woods, a high level danger zone for anyone interested in wood or tools. But I digress. . .

Our latest trip found us exploring Fort Worden State Park which is next door to Port Townsend. The Fort is part of a network of early fortifications that guarded the nautical entrance to Puget Sound.  The park is now used as a conference center with accommodations in historic military housing as well as camping and has a beautiful view of the Admiralty Inlet. I’ll share more views of the Fort Worden area in the next several days.

  1. Between you, Shannon, and the Norma of Sequim Daily Photo, we have SO MANY places to explore on our visits to Sequim. Sequim Daily Photo is a large part of our decision to move to Sequim over the next couple of years. We recently bought a home near some of your photos. THANKS! I’ts all your fault – or at least you three need to take much of the “blame.”

  2. Perhaps you should be employed by the Tourism agency (re. Larry Jeffryes comment above). Day trips are wonderful diversions from daily life, and you captured a wonderful scene with this photo.
