Canon at Fort Casey never used during WWII part of triangle defense of
area Fort Casey State Park is located on Whidbey Island in Washington state. Admiralty Inlet
was considered so strategic to the defense of Puget Sound in the 1890s that three forts, Fort
Casey on Whidbey Island, Fort Flagler on Marrowstone Island, and Fort Worden, were built at the
entrance with huge guns creating a "Triangle of Fire" that could theoretically thwart any
invasion attempt by sea. Fort Casey is now a 467 acres (1.89 km2) marine camping park. The
Admiralty Head Lighthouse is located in the state park.
