According to wickipedia, Admiralty Inlet was considered so strategic to the defense of Puget Sound in the 1890s that three forts, Fort Casey on Whidbey Island, Fort Flagler on Marrowstone Island, and Fort Worden at Port Townsend, were built at the entrance with huge guns creating a “triangle of fire.” This military strategy was built on the theory that the three fortresses would thwart any invasion attempt by sea.
Apparently that strategy worked.
Fort Casey is now a state park offering camping, day use and a chance to explore the ruins of the old fort. I spent a couple of hours in dark, water-stained concrete catacombs, going up and down stairs and wondering if I’d find a way out of dark passageways in search of interesting abstract images.
I think the colors are surprisingly vivid and bright for such a stark concrete and metal structure.
