Deception Pass is a waterway between Whidbey and Fidalgo Islands in Puget Sound. It’s also Washington’s most visited state park with campgrounds, hiking trails, beaches, picnic grounds and more. It also has a bridge with spectacular views. Lori and I have taken the ferry to Whidbey Island, driving over the bridge to get to Bellingham to visit our granddaughter Aly, camp in British Columbia and see the tulip fields in Skagit Valley. Each time we’ve said “we need to stop here sometime.” I recently went that direction for an appointment and took some time to get a few photos. 

I caught a pre-dawn ferry from Port Townsend to Coupeville on Whidbey Island, so I got to see the sun rise while on the water. This is Mt. Rainier in silhouette, the sun still below the horizon.

Below are views from the Deception Pass Bridge, still getting some color from the rising sun. That’s Mt. Baker in the distance.
