Everett Naval Station, Washington

Unlike most military bases which have a history dating back at least to World War II, Naval Station Everett was built from scratch in the 1990's. It replaced most of the functions of the Naval Station Puget Sound in Seattle, which was shut down in 1995, and has attracted some new Navy functions, becoming home port for a number of aircraft carriers and destroyers, which dock at the new forked pier beyond the harbor at Everett.
