Whidbey Island
a long Puget Sound island and the cliffs of Deception Pass
Whidbey Island is one of the places Roamward flags on the The Cascade Loop because it gives the drive its texture: a long Puget Sound island and the cliffs of Deception Pass. Use it as a planned pull-over instead of letting the route become a blur between towns.
