Fort Ebey's function was to block river traffic on the Snohomish River. Abandoned as a fortification in 1856. Current Status The small river bar island, where Fort Ebey was located, has since washed away and all that remains is a river bar. {"selectable":false,"height":"-500","width":"-500"} Location: Near Everett, Snohomish County, Washington.
