Admiralty Inlet
Where Three Forts Held the Pacific at Bay
Forged in 1897 as the "Triangle of Fire," the coastal batteries of Fort Worden, Fort Flagler, and Fort Casey formed an impenetrable shield across the Salish Sea.
Their massive guns—never fired in anger—still watch over the waves like silent sentinels.
Fortified Finds
Officer’s Row Meets Artist’s Muse
From military precision to creative chaos, Fort Worden’s officer quarters now house poets—but the underground tunnels? Those belong to something older. Explore how this fort became a crossroads of history and hauntings in our Field Notes.
Where the Guns Still Whisper
Fort Flagler’s rusted batteries hide more than old munitions—locals swear the fog here carries voices from artillery drills never called to halt. Our Field Notes document the fort’s strategic past and the eerie "drill sergeants" still heard at low tide.
The Guns That Never Roared
Fort Casey’s revolutionary disappearing artillery was built for a war that never came—its 10-inch rifles test-fired just once before becoming relics of coastal might. Our Field Notes unpack the trigonometry-scratched walls of its plotting rooms and the quiet fate of soldiers who trained for an invasion that never was.
