Uncover military history at Fort Flagler Historical State Park on Marrowstone Island's northern tip. This coastal defense fort, more than a century old, is part of the Puget Sound's defensive network, along with Fort Worden and Fort Casey. It's a must-visit for those keen on military, armament, and maritime history.
Built in the late 1890s, it served during several wars and now houses a military museum in the old Quarter Master's Store House.

Running
This historical park allows you to step back in time while enjoying a peaceful run through the grounds. Fort Flagler was built in the late 1890s and was fully operational during World War I, World War II and the Korean War. There are multiple trail options, all surrounded by 19,100 feet of salty shoreline to appreciate. There are stunning views of Mount Baker in the distance, Juan de Fuca to the north, Whidbey Island to the east and the Olympic Peninsula to the west. You will encounter historic structures along the route, a museum, a campground and restrooms.
