Hiking
In the spring of 1792, Joseph Whidbey, George Vancouver's chief navigator, sailed the HMS Discovery through the narrow passage now known as Deception Pass. He proved that it was not a small bay, as the Spanish had assumed, but a deep and lively channel that connects the Strait of Juan de Fuca with the Saratoga Passage and separates the mainland from the supposed peninsula, which turned out to be Fidalgo Island and Whidbey Island; hence the name "deception".
