Fort Flagler

Fort Flagler (1897-1953) - named after Brigadier General Daniel Webster Flagler. Construction began in 1897 and the fort was closed in 1953.

Fort Flagler, along with Fort Worden and Fort Casey, guarded the entrance to Puget Sound. These posts, established in the late 1890's, became the first line of a fortification system designed to prevent a hostile fleet from reaching the Bremerton Naval Yard and the cities of Seattle, Tacoma and Everett. The property was purchased as a state park in 1955.
