This was taken on the shore of Deception Pass near the Deception Pass Bridge. One can walk down to the shore below the bridge though the walk is rather steep. Deception Pass separates the north end of Whidbey Island from Fidalgo Island and is the only way Whidbey Island can be reached without a ferry. It is know for its strong currents. The pass was given its present name by George Vancouver in 1792 who gave it the name because failure to find it had lead him to believe that Whidbey Island was a peninsula. ronaldhanko-orchidhunter.blogspot.com/2012/06/whidbey-isl...
