Fort Flagler Historical State Park
We go camping there and explore the bunkers almost every year! "Fort Flagler State Park had it's beginning as part of the Harbor Defense of Puget Sound at the turn of the 19th Century. From 1899 until 1955, Fort Flagler joined Fort's Casey and Worden in a 'triangle of fire' defense across Admiralty Inlet, protecting Puget Sound. In 1954, the fort was deactivated and declared surplus. A year later, Washington State Department of Parks and Recreation acquired the land for use as a State Park. The 750 acre park still encompasses the original fort's boundries, and provides a wealth of recreational opportunties. Over a dozen trails cross the park, through forests, along the bluff overlooking Admiralty Inlet and Port Townsend Bay and along the coastline. 10 historic gun batteries have been beautifully maintained and are open for exploration."
The City of Poulsbo
Explore Little Norway! "Prior to Euro-American settlement, Poulsbo was in the heartland of the Suquamish People, who have lived in Puget Sound for thousands of years. Suquamish ancestors occupied villages and camps on the Liberty Bay shoreline over the past 5,000 years, hunted throughout the Poulsbo forests and floodplains, fished in bays and streams, and collected shellfish along the marine shoreline. With the Scandinavians’ arrivals, Poulsbo was founded by Jorgen Eliason, from Fordefjord, Norway, when the primary method of travel was water. Supplies were brought the eighteen-mile trip from Seattle by rowboat and later by steamboat. Over a sixty-year period, the “mosquito fleet”, comprised of more than a dozen steamboats, served Poulsbo and other locations along Liberty Bay and Puget Sound carrying passengers and freight to and from Poulsbo and delivering farmers’ produce to Pike Place Market in Seattle."
