Fort Worden--- Port Townsend, WA

I took a weekend away alone over Martin Luther King Weekend to Fort Worden in Port Townsend, Washington.

Fort Worden is a fort that once guarded the entrance to Puget Sound in combination with Fort Flagler & Fort Casey. Once decommissioned, (around 1950) the land was turned over to the state and they now let you rent out the officer's houses.

The Fort is also very near the city of Port Townsend, a very charming town.

It was a great weekend of solitude away from the hustle and bustle of everyday life. I ate well, read, and was rewarded with some spectacular sunshine and mountains.

The sunset ferry ride back to Seattle was one of the most beautiful I've ever been on. The pictures don't do it justice.
