Fort Worden and the Triangle of $#@*&!


Fort Worden, Washington is one of my favorite places, for a LOT of reasons. It's got an amazing history, it's haunted as hell, there are super cool military ruins that you can explore at will. I recently submitted an article to Atlas Obscura, and did this illustration to show how Ft. W. worked with other nearby artillery bases to form a triangle of fire that protected military assets in Puget Sound from seaborne invasion (this was in the days before air superiority in warfare).
