Kevlar canoe at Cranberry
There was a lot of activity at Deception Pass State Park today, as one would expect on a sunny Sunday in October. Among those enjoying the park’s assets was Patrick, a Bellingham resident who traveled to Whidbey for an adventure in his kevlar canoe. Cranberry Lake.

This photograph was taken from the rail of the shorter of the two Deception Pass spans as one kayaker “parked” and perched briefly on the rocks while a partner paddled close […]
