Roiling waters beneath the bridge have not only been dangerous to swimmers, but to George Vancouver’s 1792 expedition. Vancouver’s discovery that Whidbey was actually an island, and this particular narrow passage dangerous for ships, led him to christen the waterway as Deception Pass. Photo credit: SounderBruce
