The Olympic Peninsula has some gems to explore, and Fort Worden State Park is one of them. Near Port Townsend, it’s well worth a visit. Construction here started in 1898, to protect Puget Sound and Admiralty Inlet from invasion by sea. It was an active Army base from 1902 to 1953.
It became a Washington State Park in 1973, with beautiful views to the ocean and Puget Sound, and trails around the artillery batteries to be explored.
