The west end of Deception Pass in Washington
Deception Pass separates Whidbey Island from Fidalgo Island. Most of the water in Skagit Bay empties through the Pass during tidal exchange. The currents can be very strong and you often see current eddies. The San Juan Islands can be seen in the gap between Deception Island on the left and Rosario Island by the tree. The first, lowest island in the gap is for sale and is owned by Paul Allen who is a co-founder of Microsoft. Vancouver Island rises above the sea fog on the extreme left horizon.

Starting in spring of 2019, WSDOT contractor crews will spend two years repainting and making repairs on Deception Pass and Canoe Pass bridges along State Route 20. Deception Pass State Park and all businesses in the area will remain open during construction. The painting work will be noisy and crews will tenting off sections of the bridge to keep paint and other debris contained. One sidewalk across the bridge will close for most of this work but access for vehicles and pedestrians will always be available.

Deception Island is an island in the South Shetland Islands archipelago, with one of the safest harbours in Antarctica. This island is the caldera of an active volcano, which seriously damaged local scientific stations in 1967 and 1969

The graffiti on the wall, which should translate as "Less cantaloupes (- Meloni) and more watermelons (+ angurie)" actually means "less deception and more truth." The wordplay concerns Giorgia Meloni, the Prime Minister of the Italian government.

Me and a friend were exploring the bottom of Steven's pass when we stumbled across Deception Falls. Very beautiful place, cool bridges, waterfalls, rapids. I was messing around with long exposure, haven't done much with it in the past.
Reading on here of the demise of the Cape Kiwanda keyhole arch reminded me of this old selfie, taken at probably one of the lesser-known Deception Pass attractions.

Chase County Leader, Jan. 14, 1915, Pg. 1

Edward A. Kinnie.
Again I must write something about another friend of mine who has gone to rest, I knew him for thirty-four years. We were always cordial. There is a land where everlasting suns shed everlasting brightness, where the soul drinks from the living streams of love that roll by God's immortal throne, I believe he has gone there to inhale the breath of paradise divine.
He was born at Greene, New York, November 14th, 1841. He left this earth January 7th, 1915. His heart ceased to beat at the age of seventy-four. Had he lived until February 13th, he could have celebrated his golden wedding. He was married February 13th, 1865, to Julia E. Ransford at Norwich in the old Empire State. He came to Chase county, Kansas, with his family in 1870, locating on Rock creek on a homestead, seven years later he moved to Cottonwood Falls, where he has since resided, except for a few years at the Soldiers Home. He served two terms as sheriff. He also served two terms as justice of the peace for Falls township. In 1906 the governor of Kansas offered him the position of adjutant of the Soldiers Home at Dodge City, a position that he held as long as his health would permit. As an official he was absolutely fearless in the discharge of his duty. I have often said that he was the best justice of the peace that I ever saw. He leaves a wife and two daughters, Mrs. Clyde Johnson of Lawrence, Kansas and Mrs. J. W. Holsinger of Cottonwood Falls. The widow who lived with him for almost fifty years resides in this city with her son-in-law, where Mr. Kinnie spent his last days. He was cared for by members of his family in the most tender way.
The funeral was held at the residence of his son-in-law, J. W. Holsinger, January 9th, 1915. The funeral sermon by Rev. J. E. Bryan of the Methodist church was one of the best ever delivered in Cottonwood Falls. Many friends of Mr. Kinnie were present and those who could not get seats in the house stood around in the yard until the last word was spoken and then followed his remains to Prairie Grove cemetery and with deep regret saw his remains returned to earth. Mr. Kinnie was a philospher in many ways. He was not afraid to meet the pale-rider. He regarded the end of life as a radiant morning star indicating that the luminary of eternity is going to rise. A good man being asked during his last illness whether he thought himself dying said, "Really friend, I care not whether I am or not, for if I die I shall be with God; if I live God will be with me." I am sure that Mr. Kinnie looked for happiness beyond this life. And I am sure that he thought that he carried the golden key that would open the palace of eternity.
Edward A. Kinnie was an old soldier of the war of the rebellion. War is a mad game, at which the world seems to play, but Mr. Kinnie was not a man of blood. He became a soldier because he wanted to uphold the flickering torch of freedom, and he performed his part well. In 1861, when a very young man he enlisted in the 44th New York Infantry, and later he was promoted and made a lieutenant in the 99th New York Infantry. He served until the close of the war. In the army of the Potomac, he was one of two million men that marched to the music of the Union. He was a patriot and a good soldier. He has often told me about Seven Pines, Fairoaks, Savage Station, Chickahominey and the crowing glory of that army at Malvern Hill. He always had a warm place in his heart for a soldier who had stood in the storm and battled for home and human rights. He seemed to think that human liberty would never wither in the presence of such men, and the Almighty could intrust to them the destines of the globe. In the slaughter of thousands, Mr. Kinnie escaped unhurt, and yet the Deity had lent him no armour, like Achilles. This man deserves to be remembered and he will be. He saw the sun shrouded in the clouds of battle and saw him unveil the night with his fires. When the bloody drama of the Civil war was concluded Mr. Kinnie laid down his sword and resumed the avocation of peace. He was a frank positive out-spoken man. No deception in his make up. If there ever was an honest man in this world, that man was Edward A Kinnie. Full of charity for his fellow man, there is nothing to forget in the life of such a man, but there is much to be remembered. His deeds of benevolence will remain with us forever. It has been said that the first daughter to the love of God, is kindness to our fellow man. Gus Kinnie as he was called by his friends was kind to all. It was the breaking down of the forces of nature that lulled him to repose. He deserves to sleep well, and on decoration day his grave will be a shrine for his family and friends. Peace to his ashes.--Thos. H. Grisham.

The Deception Pass Bridge is a two-lane bridge on Washington State Route 20 connecting Whidbey Island to Fidalgo Island in the U.S. state of Washington. It was a Washington State Highways project, and included project elements built by young workers from the Civilian Conservation Corps. Completion of the bridge was a factor in the decision to build Naval Air Station Whidbey Island and helped Oak Harbor, Washington flourish. The bridge is a commonly photographed landmark of the Puget Sound region.
History
In the spring of 1792, Joseph Whidbey, master of HMS Discovery and Captain Vancouver's chief navigator proved that it was not really a small bay as charted by the Spaniards (hence the name "Deception"), but a deep and turbulent channel that connects the Strait of Juan de Fuca with the Saratoga Passage, which separates the mainland from what they believed was a peninsula (actually Fidalgo Island and Whidbey Island). Thomas Coupe, a sea captain and founder of Coupeville, was the only man ever to sail a full-rigged ship through the strait discovered by Whidbey.
In the early years of the 20th century, travelers of the horse-and-buggy era used an unscheduled ferry to cross from Fidalgo Island to Whidbey Island. To call the ferry, they banged a saw with a mallet and then sat back to wait.
The bridge, one of the scenic wonders of the Pacific Northwest, is actually two spans, one over Canoe Pass to the north, and another over Deception Pass to the south. Construction began in August 1934, and the completed bridge was dedicated at noon on July 31, 1935. The Wallace Bridge and Structural Co. of Seattle, Washington provided 460 tons of steel for the 511-foot Canoe Pass arch and 1130 tons for the 976-foot Deception Pass span. The cost of the New Deal-era construction was $482,000, made possible through the Public Works Administration and county funds.
In 1982, the bridge was listed in the National Register of Historic Places.
It cost more to paint the spans in 1983 than to build them in 1935. They were painted again in 1997.
