The Deception Pass Bridge connects Whidbey and Fidalgo Islands in Washington State. Named after Captain George Vancouver’s navigational error in 1792, the bridge crosses a dramatic strait known for strong tidal currents and swirling waters.
With two spans rising 180 feet (55 meters) above the water, the bridge offers stunning views of the San Juan Islands and Puget Sound. Windy conditions and fog can make the crossing feel even more intense. Built in 1935, the bridge is now a beloved landmark, drawing visitors to explore the surrounding natural beauty.
