Fort Worden State Park

A Karen Brown Recommendation

Fort Worden State Park is easy to get to via public transportation. Otherwise, follow Cherry Street to the northern limits of Port Townsend where it meets the park. Fort Worden was once part of the defense system built to protect Puget Sound, as far back as 1896, and was in use through World War II. This is a great spot for access to the shoreline of Juan de Fuca Strait. Watch the boats go by, take a walk along the beach, or visit the Coast Artillery Museum (open daily, mid-May to mid-September, from 11 am to 4 pm; 360-385-4730), Commanding Officer’s House (open daily, June to August, from 10 am to 5 pm; and from noon to 4 pm on weekends; April, May, September, and October; 360-385-4730), and Marine Science Center (open mid-June to mid-September from noon to 6 pm, Tuesday through Sunday; and from noon to 4 pm on weekends, April to mid-June and mid-September through October; 360-385-5582).
