Whidbey's Camp Casey, campground and conference center, sold to YMCA

WHIDBEY ISLAND — Camp Casey, a former U.S. Army fort turned campground and conference center, is changing hands for the first time in over 70 years.

Seattle Pacific University, the current owner, is selling the 84-acre property and its facilities to the YMCA of Snohomish County. The YMCA will take over operations at the start of next year.

The terms of the sale were not made public. Island County records show the appraised value of the properties totals about $15 million.

The camp was first built at the turn of the 20th century. The Army used it through World War II before the military decommissioned it in the 1950s. In 1956, the university purchased the property.

These were the supporting buildings of the fort. The concrete gun emplacements are part of the state park.
