Picture Share – Nisqually Wildlife Refuge and Fort Worden State Historical Park

Posted on March 21, 2024 | 14 comments

The Hubster and I drove to the west coast to visit our son and his family.

The weather was so gorgeous and we had a great time visiting and getting our family loves.

I am sharing a few scenic photos from two of the places that we enjoyed while we were on the coast.

Enjoy!

Billy Frank Jr. Nisqually National Wildlife Refuge

Nisqually Wildlife Refuge — *The boardwalk is 2 miles one way if you walk all the way out (we did).*

*Clicking on a photo will give you a closer look!

A friend expressed interest in these Twin Barns…she wanted to know more, and I did answer her (you can read this in the comments for this post). If you would like to know more about the barns and the refuge, I am editing this post to include the following links.

Warning: a picture heavy post!

I am continuing with the visit to Fort Worden State Park.

The above is a photo of what used to be the Commanding Officer’s quarters. It now houses a museum.

The following is a sampling of what is in the museum. (Taking pictures is allowed as long as no flash is used.)

Fort Worden State Park

Posted on September 18, 2014 | 4 comments

The pictures shown in yesterday’s post were taken at Fort Worden State Park located near Port Townsend.

It is a wonderful historic place to visit.

Fort Worden was an active US Army base from 1902 to 1953. It was named in honor of U.S. Naval Rear Admiral John Lorimer Worden.

Fort Worden was built as a strategic defense for Puget Sound.

There is hiking, camping, picnic, day use and more to experience.

Lucky me. I’ve caught a head cold. I am too tired to show more. I do have some photos from the museum at the Commanding Officer’s home. I’ll try to post those soon.
