Fort Worden State Park: Opastetut kierrokset ja aktiviteetit

The lighthouse at Fort Warden. You can stay the night here too! #LifeAtExpedia

Beautiful state park to run, hike, or camp in. There are many old bunkers to explore too.

Beautiful dog-friendly beach and hiking in cute Port Townsend. Makes my collie happy. #LifeAtExpedia

Alexander's castle is the oldest structure at Fort Worden State Park (built in 1883) and the second most popular place to stay.

According to legend, Reverend John Alexander built the castle in true Scottish style for a prospective Scottish bride. Alas, she had already married another by the time Mr. Alexander returned to Scotland. He did live there for a time, but it ended up housing the tailor shop for many years during the time that Fort Worden was still a military installation.

While I did not have the opportunity to spend the night in the castle, I can vouch for the claim that it has spectacular views of Puget Sound.

An inveterate fantasm purportedly haunts this house, or at least one of its windows.

When viewed just right from about one spot on the entire planet, the first dark window you see to the right of the central structure appears to reveal a woman sitting in her chair.

To the more jaded eye, it would seem that a large flaw in the ancient glass happens to line up very nicely with a large, stuffed chair directly behind the window.

No matter. People come from miles around to scare the bejeezus out of themselves by lining up precisely where the apparition can see them and shrieking in delight.

However, few of them will actually stay at the "boutique hotel" contained within. Which is probably why the owner is looking to sell it.

If you like company, but are not overly fond of money, you might drop by and make him an offer.
