Bunkers Overlook – A Legacy

The Fort Casey bunkers located in Coupeville sit perched atop the cliffs overlooking Admiralty Inlet. They stand as silent sentinels of the past, remnants of a bygone era when coastal defense was paramount. These imposing structures were originally built during World War I for coastal defense. They were designed to house artillery and troops and served as a strategic vantage point to protect the Puget Sound & PNW coast. Today, they offer a unique historical attraction for visitors. As you explore the bunkers, you may also catch a glimpse of Washington State Ferries gliding gracefully through the shimmering waters of Puget Sound, a reminder of the region’s maritime legacy and its enduring connection to the sea.
