Fort Worden State Park (Port Townsend)

Fort Worden, north of Port Townsend, was a 20th Century Fort, one of the "triangle of fire" gun emplacements. Now it's a 422 acre state park, with camp grounds, playing fields, hiking trails, conference facilities, boat ramps, beaches, a lighthouse, performance spaces, a marine science center, a museum and more. A leisurely hike around the old concrete bunkers on the hill is a bit mysterious. Especially during the summer, the Centrum Organization organizes many performing arts and learning activities, including a jazz, blues, and fiddling festivals. The Victorian barracks are made available for all kinds of events and residential learning experiences. And a tidbit for movie fans, "An Officer and a Gentleman," has many scenes that were filmed on the grounds (and in the surrounding Port Townsend area).
