Description

Deception Pass is a strait separating Whidbey Island from Fidalgo Island,
in the northwest part of the U.S. state of Washington.
It connects Skagit Bay, part of Puget Sound, with the Strait of Juan de Fuca.
A group of sailors led by Joseph Whidbey, part of the Vancouver Expedition,
found and mapped Deception Pass on June 1, 1792.
George Vancouver gave it the name "Deception" because it had appeared to be a narrow bay instead of a strait.

When I first opened this I thought, "WOW~ Look at the Beautiful Bridge and Driftwood" (I used to collect drift wood). :)

THEN I READ YOUR DESCRIPTION! This is so fun for me. I am a huge Nancy Drew PC GAME fan. I have every game ever made.

Guess what one of them is called???

Photobucket HA! It was a fun game and based in this very place! Facts included for the area.

Great job Jillian! Love it!
