Fort Nisqually Living History Museum

Fort Nisqually Living History Museum is a restoration of the Hudson's Bay Company outpost on Puget Sound. With the help of costumed interpreters, guests experience life in Washington Territory during the 1850s. Nine buildings are open to the public, including the Granary and the Factors House, both National Historic Landmarks, and a Visitor Center with Museum Store.

A historical escape room in a historical building! I ended up going with 5 or so friends, and there were a few other people with tickets to make a whole party. When we got there it was already dark, which gave the fort an eerie look. The escape room itself is in what used to be a residence, and was very cleverly designed (no spoilers!) Everybody worked together to find clues, and I ended up learning a lot about Fort Nisqually in the process. Just don't try to pull the paintings off the wall or mess with the curtains- someone's gotta fluff those every morning, you know.

My boyfriend and I walked to Wright Park after breakfast in the area. I haven’t been here since the century plant bloomed years ago. It is so beautiful inside, wandering the paths! Warm during winter.
