About Fort Worden
Constructed in the early 1900s, Fort Worden protected Puget Sound for half a century as the Harbor Defense Command headquarters. Given its exceptional value in illustrating and interpreting the heritage of the United States, it is a designated National Historic Landmark. Over the last four decades Fort Worden has evolved into an iconic 434-acre state park (est. 1973) featuring 70+ historic buildings centered on the Parade Grounds. The Fort Worden Lifelong Learning Center “campus” occupies 95 acres at the heart of the park. The Fort Worden Public Development Authority (PDA) and the Washington State Parks & Recreation Commission maintain a collaborative management agreement and 50-year Master Lease for the campus.
