A view of Whidbey Island across Deception Inlet from Goose Island. Named on the 10th of June 1792 by Captain George Vancouver after feeling he had been deceived by the nature of the pass (he had originally thought it was the inlet to a bay, it is actually a passage separating Whidbey Island). Whidbey Island is named after Joseph Whidbey, a member of Vancouver's crew who explored the inlet in a small boat.
