Fort Ebey was part of the United States Army Coastal and Harbor Defense Strategy during World War II.
From 1942 until 1946 Fort Ebey served along with the "triangle of fire" Fort Casey, Fort Worden and Fort Flagler guarding the entrance to Puget Sound and
the Bremerton Navy Yard as well as the cities of Seattle, Tacoma and
the State Capitol at Olympia.
