We will be staying in the lovely old Fort Casey Inn on Whidbey Island. Accommodations are in the houses once used by the Non-commissioned Officers and their families stationed at the Fort. These lovely old houses feature large verandas, a sitting room, kitchen, 2 bedrooms and a bathroom. Bedrooms may be booked for one or two people. Many rooms have more than one bed. Dinner and breakfast will be served in Garrison Hall which is located adjacent to the houses.
Registration for WRS members only begins on Monday, July 17, 2023.
WRS Member price for ONE person (single bedroom in a shared house) is $400.
WRS Member price for TWO people (shared room for 2 in a shared house) is $554.
Both attendees must be members
Members arrange for and specify their own roommates
People sharing a room must request a queen bedroom or a room with two individual beds.
Attendees may request with whom they want to share a house, however there is no guarantee that all requests can be honored.
Attendees may request the HOUSE they would prefer. Houses 1 through 6 and 10 are available. House 10 (the Doctor’s house) is a stand alone house. Eagles Nest (9) is also available but is intended for members with mobility or other disability issues.
Specifications for the houses are available at Fort Casey Inn Website.
Please be ready to notify WRS of any dietary restrictions when you register.
WRS will have full use of Garrison Hall which is next to the houses. Breakfast and dinner will be served there each day. Lunch is on your own, but each unit and Garrison Hall have a basic furnished kitchen.
There will be activities offered, as always. A full list will be forthcoming. However, so far here are some things already planned:
If any space is still available, registration for people who are not WRS members will open on July 31 and will be $440 for singles and $580 for doubles.
