It had a fourth order Fresnel lens, and the light could be seen sixteen miles away. This light welcomed Puget Sound marine traffic to Admiralty Inlet. During the Spanish-American War, the US Army demolished the old lighthouse to build a fort (Fort Casey). The present lighthouse went into service in 1903 but was discontinued in 1927. It has been restored and now serves as a museum. It is only open during the summer for visitors.

    Environmental Compliance and Restoration Backlog February 9, 2016 Fiscal Year 2016 Report to Congress United States Coast Guard Environmental Compliance and Restoration (EC&R) Project Backlog Impact The information presented below fulfills the directive in Senate Report 114-68 accompanying the Fiscal Year (FY) 2016 Department of Homeland Security Appropriations Act (P.L. 114-113): “The Coast Guard is directed to include in its annual budget justification a listing of the activities projected to be funded by the amount requested under this heading and an updated backlog report for Environmental Compliance and Restoration projects, with an explanation of how the amount requested will impact this documented backlog.” The Coast Guard's prioritized listing of projects eligible for EC&R funding is reflective of the Coast Guard’s review of current EC&R requirements and consolidation of projects. This list contains 186 projects with an estimated total cost of $140 million. Estimated costs include restoration work to be accomplished in various stages (i.e., investigation work, site remediation work, and long-term management) and to be executed across several years (e.g., long-term management potentially can extend out to 30 years). The following table provides a detailed listing of future EC&R priority projects. The list is adjusted as new information from complete assessments and project risk prioritization becomes available. The FY 2017 EC&R request of $13.315 million will make progress on investigations and remediation at 10 sites with some sites completing all necessary response actions and two sites progressing to Long-term Management (LTM). Also, progress will be made in conducting LTM at 21 sites, with LTM completion projected for two sites.

Yet, when we work on projects, we focus on “what” we are producing – the exhibition, website, education event, catalogue or press release. We don’t spend a lot of time talking about “why” we are doing it. Why is it important? What is the story we are trying to tell and how do we successfully tell it? Who are we telling it to? This half-day workshop will use storytelling techniques and exercises to help museum personnel create a supportive work environment to effectively collaborate with other staff in identifying the story that will drive the project. Through examples and hands-on storytelling, we will hone the skills necessary to work collaboratively, hit project goals, analyze outcomes and tell the story that lies at the heart of what we do. *FEE *Pre-Registration Required *Lunch is included in registration fee A Business Approach to Fundraising: Don’t Leave Your Income to Chance Building 204 Room 14 Presenters: Michael Friedline, Non-Profit Advantage; Richard Beckerman, Museum Consulting Services Raising funds from earned income and charitable gifts is essential for any museum, and yet too often fundraising is approached in a haphazard manner.

With the establishment of the station in 1879, shipwrecks in the area declined significantly, making local navigation far safer. Together with neighboring Fort Worden, Point Wilson Light Station was one of three paired forts and light stations guarding the entrance to Puget Sound.1 The 1913 lighthouse and fog signal building is an excellent example of the work of architect Carl Leick, who designed many early twentieth­ century lighthouses in the Pacific Northwest.
