Battery Kinzie, Ft. Worden

An entryway into the Past

While touring a WWII battery may not be first on your list of fun things to do, think again…the batteries at Ft. Worden are so unique, mysterious and thought provoking that a visit just might change your mind about “fun”.

Considering the colorful and expressionistic graffiti on most of the walls, some have gone so far as to compare it to an art gallery; children see it as a playground; photographers and artists consider it an endless opportunity for discovery and self expression, and you and maybe your out of town guests may have your own description, but I’m sure it will be positive.

Considering its proximity to Pt. Wilson Lighthouse, Pt. Townsend, and the Strait of Juan De Fuca, one can spend all day, several days, or even a week exploring them, and the entire area, and never tire.

So if you too are looking for some fun activity, a place to take your friends, and a new experience this weekend or whenever, you don’t need to look far from home.

  1. Peggy:
    Very nice composition. The focus and colors make it look like an watercolor or oil painting. I really like the light on the door, and illuminating some inside details. Nice job! That’s a keeper!

    1. Thanks so much, Gary, so glad you enjoy it. Although mid-day, I was fortunate enough to have that light in just the right spot.
