DECEPTION PASS — A tractor-trailer that blocked traffic on the Deception Pass Bridge between Oak Harbor and Anacortes for six hours has been cleared, according to the State Patrol.
[Full Story]
When I was stationed at NAS Whidbey Island (Oak Harbor) I often made that trip across the Deception Pass bridge to head towards Vancouver, Ca or down towards Seattle. Many people stop by this bridge to walk across it to see the scenery. It is quite a breath-taking view and also quite windy (as this truck can testify.) Here are some images of the view Image 1, Image 2, Quicktime VR panorama.

Jeff,
You were in the Navy? Great to hear! So was I.
My wife and I honeymooned in LaConner and crossed this bridge several times during our stay there. IMHO Skagit valley and the surrounding islands and mountains are some of the most beautiful areas in the United States. -weunice
