Yes, a letter to HG in Olympia might help. The state parks here are very understaffed. If those who live here remember, several years ago many rangers were laid off and they are closing or trying to close many of our state parks. At Fort Worden, there are no rangers living on the fort now where they used to have 3. Why? The group that took over management wanted to turn the ranger houses into rentals, so parks said sure - go ahead. If you go there and have a problem at night or see something that shouldn't be, just remember 911. But, I must say that we feel pretty safe at the state parks. I would imagine that most of the ice chests taken and gone through are by kids who want to party. Like I said before, we have locked our stuff up for probably 30+ years and it does not make our stay any worse. Just have that peace of mind.
