If you live on the northern end of Whidbey Island or visit there, then you are probably familiar with this beautiful view. It comes from Deception Pass, a narrow body of water in the Puget Sound region that separates Whidbey and Fidalgo islands and connects the Strait of Juan de Fuca to Skagit Bay. Past the cliffs that surround these waters is the nearly 90-year-old Deception Pass State Park, the most visited state park in all of Washington. The park is known for its old-growth forests, thriving wildlife, and scenic views.
