Fort Casey
State Park
Constructed in the late 1800s, Fort Casey was equipped for defense of the entrance to Puget Sound. The Fort houses a pair of rare 10-inch disappearing guns, original 3-inch mounted guns in their original emplacements, batteries, a vintage lighthouse, and nearby parade and training grounds.

Fort Casey, Fort Worden, and Fort Flagler together were known as the “Triangle of Fire,” a trio of strategically placed fortifications defending the entrance to the Puget Sound—and key locations such as Seattle, Olympia and the Bremerton Naval Ship Yard—at the turn of the 20th century.
While Fort Casey’s guns and battlements were the height of technology in the early 1900s, improvements in warships and the advent of airplanes soon rendered them obsolete. The Fort was decommissioned after WWII in the 1950s.
Fort Casey was sold to Washington State Parks in 1955 and was incorporated into Ebey’s Landing National Historical Reserve in 1980.
Camp, hike, take an educational tour of the lighthouse, head down to the beach, take a picnic, or just explore the quiet history of this historic park.
