Deception Pass
Deception Pass was named a state park on April 17, 1922. This dramatic landscape was carved out by glaciers. It was founded by Joseph Whidbey, and named by George Vancouver as he thought the now Whidbey Island was a peninsula until they came across this Pass. These men were expeditionists in 1792.
