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.
