Deception Pass is the common name for two passes separating Fidalgo and Whidbey islands. A bridge connects Fidalgo Island over Canoe Pass to the diminutive Pass Island, and a second bridge connected Pass Island to Whidbey Island.
Deception Pass State Park, the most-visited park in the Washington State park system, is centered on Deception Pass. The Maiden of Deception Pass story originates in the area.
