Since Washington is almost 130 years old, it should come as no surprise that it’s full of abandoned places slowly being reclaimed by nature. But at Whidbey Island’s Fort Casey, the remnants of the old buildings are actually beautiful, especially the still intact Admiralty Head Lighthouse.
Fort Casey was constructed in 1897 as part of the Triangle of Fire, which was meant to protect the Puget Sound from enemies by sea.
It wasn't long before the area was abandoned.
