LAST MONTH'S CONTEST
We had a lot of answers to last month's contest, which showed Fort Nisqually, a living history museum located in Point Defiance Park in Tacoma. The original location of this structure was in Dupont, one of the first settlements in the Puget Sound region. The fort was later reconstructed at Point Defiance in the 1930s by the Works Progress Administration (WPA). The museum gives residents and visitors a chance to experience what life was like on Puget Sound in 1855. For more information, visit
Robert of Des Moines is the winner of last month's contest.
