By the time you read this, the renovation project may be finished. Fort Casey is located on Whidbey Island near the Washington State Ferry Terminal. This fort has great history and you can read more about it here: http://fortwiki.com/Fort_Casey
Activated in 1900, this fort was acquired by Washington state in 1956. Thousands of visitors come to see the old fort each year and explore dark passageways, old canons, and empty rooms.
As of the taking of this photo, restoration has been commenced to repaint the entire fort in army fatigue green. Personally, I love the weathered and worn look to the fort but the need to preserve such history is necessary.
Feel free to plan a trip to visit this historic site and bring a picnic, warm gear (the wind can be quite chilly here) and a good flashlight or two.
Hi Veronica - My family and I took a driving vacation last year from San Diego to Whidbey Island, and we visited Fort Casey - awesome!
ReplyDeleteI was in Marketing and Advertising for 20 years, then Real Estate, but more recently my second career (taking up all of the hours I should be sleeping) is photography.
I discovered you in the following way: My cousin is from Spokane and knows Luke Baumgarten, whom I've blog-followed since before he began writing for the Inlander. Luke apparently attended a recent roaring 20's themed food event, and you apparently photographed it. So here I am scrolling through your blog.
When I catch up on my current client editing... I think I'll try to re-edit and HDR some of my older photos. You've inspired me to revisit my Fort Casey collection. Have a great day!
