Fort Worden is a couple hours away from where I live. Fort Worden (along with Fort Flagler and Casey) was built at the entrance of Admiralty Inlet to protect the Puget Sound. The fort never fired a hostile shot and eventually, Fort Worden State Park opened in 1973.

I believe that my father took me to the state park a couple of times when I was younger, but my memories of these trips are very vague so I'll have to ask him about it sometime.
