In a curious twist of geography, Deception Pass acquired its name back in 1792 when Captain George Vancouver and his expedition initially believed Whidbey Island to be a connected peninsula, and Deception Pass a mere bay. Their naming of the channel as “Deception Pass” stemmed from this unintentional deception.

A magical topography. I've been coming here for as long as I can remember, like 4 years old. This is next-level global architecture. Interior design, whatever. This landscape is worthy of fabled HHGTTG creative Slartibartfast, whose expertise lie in fjords.
