A Karen Brown Recommendation
Coupeville, Washington, United States |
| Recenter Map To This Location |
Make your way back again to 525 and this time head north. Take 20 west in the direction of the Port Townsend Ferry. You can make a day trip to Port Townsend (we cover the town in another itinerary) or follow the frontage road past the ferry terminal to Fort Casey State Park (open daily from 8 am until sundown; 360-678-4519). Here at Admiralty Head, Fort Casey was built in the 19th century as part of a larger defense system designed to protect the entrance to Admiralty Inlet. No guns were actually fired from this spot, but the fort was used as a training location during both World Wars. The Admiralty Head Lighthouse has been transformed into an interpretive center on the fort’s history and is open from 11 am to 5 pm, Wednesday to Sunday and on holidays.
