Fort Casey State Park

Loved this park! Must see on Whidbey Island. It wasn’t crowded and it was so fun exploring all the places and rooms inside the buildings. It’s dark in some spots and a flashlight would have been handy. Phone flashlight didn’t quite cut it. There are lots of little bird nests over the lamps inside the buildings. And you can climb the lighthouse tower.

Historic place with a view! The beach was quiet and relaxing. The fort has plotting rooms and cannon guns which were majestic to watch. Admiralty head light house was beautiful, still standing strong since 1903. We even spotted a deer around the light house. The light house opened at 12:00pm, about 5-6 people were allowed to climb to the top at a time Not crowded at all even on a Saturday noon. People were flying kites around, having a relaxed picnic.

Not a fan of instruments of war but I am fascinated by machinery design. The Fort is a well kept, instructive location on how America prepared to defend itself. The landscape alone is worth the trip! The info boards set about the place help explain why the Fort exists and the cement batteries provide some hands on structures to climb upon and use your imagination as to day to day life as a soldier. Turns out for all the plans, there never was any enemy fire. The lighthouse is postcard worthy and will be open everyday starting May 1st. My family was fortunate to meet the on base docent Dale and the official "Bark Ranger" dog, KC who were out for a stroll. I would strongly suggest that folks stop by when they have time to explore and maybe bring a kite and picnic to make it a full day of fun!

This was such a cool area! There’s so much to look at and so many fun places to explore! I highly recommend bringing a flashlight or using the flashlight on your phone so you can see better when going through the dark hallways inside :) the gift shop is has lots of fun trinkets too!
