Deception Pass is about 20 miles south of Anacortes. George Vancouver named the pass out of his disappointment. He thought he had an inland passage, but the currents were so treacherous that a ship couldn’t get through it.
The engineers built a staircase where the bridge touches the little island. Pedestrians can cross under the bridge to the other side. Views from either side are stunning.
But it’s so tempting! I mean, look! The bridge is right there!
