Description: Fort Worden Historical State Park, located in Port Townsend, Washington, is a former military base turned scenic state park, rich in history, culture, and natural beauty. Originally built as part of the "Triangle of Fire" defense system to protect Puget Sound, Fort Worden housed impressive coastal artillery batteries, many of which are still accessible to visitors today. The park features 434 acres of forested trails, scenic beaches, and historic buildings, including the well-preserved barracks, parade grounds, and officer's quarters. Beyond its military history, Fort Worden has become a center for arts, education, and recreation, hosting cultural programs, workshops, and events at venues like the Centrum arts organization. Visitors can explore the museums, hike coastal trails, tour the lighthouse, and stay overnight in accommodations within the historic quarters, making Fort Worden a unique blend of history and natural charm in the Pacific Northwest.
