We'll drive to Chinook for something as tourists but rarely drive further south. Never knew this fort was here. We decided to do a little sightseeing and saw this on Maps. What an interesting place to walk around and read the interpretive signs. What's even nicer is that they have kept up the maintenance to preserve the historical valve of the buildings. The underground bunkers are overgrown in places so you can't see what it was like in its heyday. Too bad they couldn't have kept a gun in place, like Fort Casey on Whidbey Island, but when the gov't decommissions a facility they don't really think 25 years out. And, I'm sure it's expensive to maintain such places like this anyway (with tax dollars). Being a State Park so you need a Discovery Pass (but we never saw a single employee).
