Nothing Worthy of Note Transpired Today, chapter 1, footnote 4

footnote 4 of

Fort Nesqually4, the Hudson Bay trading post, was about seven miles to the south [of Fort Steilacoom]. Several farmers had taken donation claims5 on a few known fertile spots within a few miles of the fort on the Nesqually plains. The buildings were very primitive, being built of logs of small fir saplings with the bark on. The chincks were daubed with clay, which constituted the interior finish.

Fort Ward Park (wta.org) Fort Ward Park has a rich history and a variety of trails. This park used to be a military fort to protect the navy yards in Bremerton. It was closed in the ‘60s and has been public land ever since, first as a state park and now as a local city park. You will find a few remnants of this military past along the beach, but the majority of the park is in a natural setting.
