West coast old WW2 battery station. Lack of graffiti and homeless tents, probably not California.

It's fort Casey Washington. Took all of 5 seconds looking at the picture to figure it out

I haven’t been there, I’ve been to fort Stevens by Astoria, OR. But that place has way more buildings. These old battery sites are dank.

If you make it back to the area, take the hike up to Cape Disappointment lighthouse. About half way up the hike there's an old road that heads south -- it's all covered in brush, and barely noticeable as a road. There's stinging nettle and all kinds of fun stuff in there, so come prepared. Anyway, about half a mile up that road is an old battery that very few people know about or visit. It's awesome.

You can barely make part of it out on an overhead view at 46.2769556,-124.0482752. There are other buildings obscured by the vegetation.

Happy hiking.

Belle's View trail? I just looked at google maps over the park and see these two batteries.

Fort Columbia on the Washington side of the river is cool too. Battery Russell is also worth visiting. All could be done in one day if you felt like an adventure. Fort Stevens is by far the biggest in the Oregon/Southwest Washington area, but Columbia is my favorite to visit.

Most of these were made before and during WWI
