Abstract

Deception Pass State Park in Oak Harbor, Washington, spans over 4,000 acres on two islands – Fidalgo to the north and Whidbey to the south (Deception Pass State Park, 2024). Originally, in 1866 the land around the pass was set aside to be a military reservation by the United States government (Deception Pass State Park, 2024). In 1922 the property was then designated by a Congressional Act for public recreation, creating Deception Pass State Park (Deception Pass State Park, 2024). The bridge that connects the two islands is a major tourist attraction along with the rugged cliffs, old-growth forest, historical significance, spectacular tide pools, and endless activities found in the park. As Washington’s most visited state park, Deception Pass receives over three million annual visitors and is the perfect place for visitors to connect with the natural world.
