The Pittock Mansion was home to Portland pioneers Henry and Georgiana Pittock from 1914 to 1919. Owner of the Weekly Oregonian, Henry Pittock was also into banking, real estate, sheep farming, railroads, steamboats, silver mining and the pulp and paper industry. Georgiana founded many organizations to help women and children, and also is credited with originating Portland's annual Rose Festival. The mansion stayed in family hands after their deaths, until it was put on the market in 1958. Damage from the 1962 storm further threatened the property, but preservationists banded together to save the landmark, and in 1964 the city of Portland purchased the property. After restoration, the mansion reopened for public tours in 1965.

Deception Pass is a narrow, tidal passage between Fidalgo Island on the north and Whidbey Island on the south in Skagit and Island counties. Capt. George Vancouver named it Port Gardner in 1792 not knowing that the channel was open at the west end. When Joseph Whidbey of his command found the western outlet, Vancouver renamed it Deception Passage, because he had been deceived as to its nature, and named the island after his assistant who found the mistake. circa 1915.
