Showing posts with the label Chantilly

3077 - Chantilly, Virginia, USA

I received this card from Chantilly, which is located just outside of Washington, DC. The card is from Washington State. The sender spent 10 days in Seattle visiting family.  Deception Pass is a strait separating Whidbey Island from Fidalgo Island. Two bridges cross Deception Pass. Both bridges were added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1982.  Whidbey Island was named after Joseph Whidbey (1757-1833). He was the first European to find and map the Deception Pass in 1792. He was a part of the Vancouver Expedition. Caption George Vancouver named in Deception Pass because it misled him into thinking Whidbey Island was a peninsula.
