We didn't go to the casino. We went to Manchester State Park.
We had a great overnighter. Went for a 4 mile round trip hike. Curled up and watched Abbott & Costello Meet the Invisible Man.
The town of Manchester, WA was originally called Brooklyn. The town changed its name to Manchester, sure that they would become a major port like Manchester, England. Manchester State Park, was originally a military outpost to protect Bremerton Naval Shipyard & Navy Base. There was a Torpedo Warehouse that became officers quarters, that still stands today as a picnic shelter in the park. The Mining Casement operated from 1900-1910.
