Fort Casey

Situated on Whidbey Island and built around the turn-of-the-century. Fort Casey has concrete fortifications that surround a broad meadow. It has old, but well-maintained, officers' homes and barracks. A lighthouse is nearby. The complex is similar to Fort Worden.

Fort Columbia

Located near Ilwaco, at the mouth of the Columbia River. This fort has an architectural and fortification design similar to Fort Worden and Fort Casey.

Fort Flagler

Located near Fort Worden. This is a smaller, non-active installation with army barracks.

Fort Lawton

Located in Seattle. This was an active military base until 1970. It has a few remaining old buildings, large grounds, well-maintained officers' row houses, and is part of Seattle's Discovery Park.

Fort Nisqually

Built in 1833. This fort was reconstructed and moved to its present location in Point Defiance Park in Tacoma.

Fort Simcoe

Located near Yakima in eastern Washington and built in the late 1800s. This is the only remaining fort in the state that offers a reasonably unaltered image of a mid-19th century military outpost in the Northwest.

Fort Spokane

Located near Davenport and built in the 1860s. This fort was restored as a historical site.

Fort Vancouver

Located in Vancouver, Washington, and originally built in 1848. This fort was reduced down to one square mile in size. It has a historic area of turn-of-the-century, white, wooden, and brick buildings facing parade grounds, forming "officers row."

Fort Worden

Located on the outskirts of Port Townsend. It has a balloon hanger, huge parade grounds, wood framed buildings, and an interesting array of concrete gun emplacements connected by a maze of underground passageways. Most of the barracks, officers' homes, and buildings were built in 1904-1905 and are still standing. Nearby is the Point Wilson Lighthouse, built in 1914, and is still in operation.
