Fort Worden State Park employees work to make a flagpole straight by tapping wedges along the sides of the pole while another worker sights the alignment through a leveling scope from across the street. The new pole replaces the 100-year-old wooden pole that blew over during a snowstorm last year. The new pole will be dedicated at noon on Wednesday. (Steve Mullensky/for Peninsula Daily News)
