Larson AFB, Washington

The claim: Moses Lake, ?

What it really is: Larson Air Force Base was closed in 1966 and is now the Grant County International Airport.

Naval Radio Station (VLF transmitter), Washington

The claim: Jim Creek, Oso, ?

What it really is: The Jim Creek Naval Radio Station is a Navy very low frequency (VLF) radio transmitter facility. The facility has one building, and the area itself is also used as a outdoor recreational area for Naval personnel and their families and guests.

Keyport Naval Undersea Warfare Center, Washington

The claim: Keyport, ?

What it really is: The Naval Undersea Warfare Center in Keyport is one of two of the Navy's undersea warfare facilities, and employs around 1,300 civilian workers.

The base also has it's own museum, and while there are several large buildings there, none of them appear to be something you would find in a prison camp. Infact they look mostly like industrial buildings.

Puget Sound Naval Shipyard, Washington

The claim: Bremerton, ?

What it really is: The Puget Sound Naval Shipyard and Intermediate Maintenance Facility is an historical Naval ship yard is primarily used by the Navy for maintenance and modernization of it's ships, as well as housing part of the reserve fleet.

The facility itself is surround by the city of Brenton, and there is very little room for where it can expand into, and most of the buildings that are there are nothing you wouldn't find in a facility such as this.

Naval Station Everett, Washington

The claim: Everett, ?

What it really is: Naval Station Everett is a relatively young Navy base (it became active in 1994) and is the home to several ships, including the USS Nimitz.

The base itself isn't actually on to much land, and none of the buildings there look like nothing you wouldn't find on your typical Navy base. Plus, if there was a prison camp being built there it would be unlikely it could be kept out of public view due to the fact that the city Everett is right next to the base.

Ft. Lewis / McChord AFB, Washington

The claim: near Tacoma - This is one of several sites that may be used to ship prisoners overseas for slave labor.

What it really is: These claims are highly questionable at best, and most likely bogus. Besides the fact that there is no evidence what so ever to back this claim up, it doesn't really make any logical sense.

Why would the government ship people over seas to be used as slave labor when they could be used here?

Sand Point Naval Station - Seattle, Washington

The claim: FEMA detention center used actively during the 1999 WTO protests to classify prisoners.

What it really is: The base (actually called Naval Station Puget Sound) was closed down in 1995, and was divided amongst several entities, including the city of Seattle.

The site itself is now apart of the National Register of Historic Places.

Okanogan County, Washington

The claim: Borders Canada and is a site for a massive concentration camp capable of holding hundreds of thousands of people for slave labor. This is probably one of the locations that will be used to hold hard core patriots who will be held captive for the rest of their lives.

What it really is: I've used Google maps to search along the border of this area, and I can find no place that even comes close to looking like a massive concentration camp. Also, the lack of any photos of this alleged facility, and an exact location leads me to believe that this claim is bogus.

Seattle/Tacoma, Washington

The claim: SeaTac Airport: fully operational federal transfer center

What it really is: There is no federal transfer center at this airport, and is most likely being mistaken for the U.S. Customs and Border Protection faculties located there.
