This place was wonderful! Lots to do, very clean facilities and beautiful. Not only that, but two other fiberglass rigs in our little area! That’s a first for us.
We took the ferry to Port Townsend but stayed at a NFS campground called Klahanie. Two loops in the rainforest with hugh trees. Very interesting. Nearby was the town of Forks. There was a large well stocked grocery store there where we picked up supper. Sorry to say the National park was not very dog friendly so we didn't see much of it. Safe travels. Regards to Henry. Raz
There are a lot of very charming buildings to see at Fort Worden including a lighthouse and a castle like house that was built during the Victorian Era. There are also the old victorian era houses that the officers lived in. Fort Worden was the site for the movie "An Officer and a Gentleman".
There is a community center building that has a cafe and a restaurant in it. Nice place to go for a cup of coffee or sandwich.
At Fort Worden the organization "Centrum for the Arts" sponsors various arts and concert series events for all kinds of music all year around. Many of the events have workshops you can enroll for.
Located at Fort Worden is also the Port Townsend school of Woodworking where you can take a variety classes in woodworking primarily focused on using hand tools. In August there is a 3 day class that teaches the designing of tradition wooden Gypsy Vardo wagons.
Fort Worden is on the local ccommunity bus line that runs into the historic area of Port Townsend.
Nearby in the town of Port Townsend you can visit the Northwest Maritime Center where there is a gallery, shops and also workshops that can be visited.
