Deception Island

I thought the island that the Deception Pass bridge is built on was named 
Deception Island.

Wrong, my chart shows it as Pass Island, and that name makes perfect sense. But is there a Deception Island?



Deception Island is just outside deception Pass and hovers in the misty haze

Deception Island seems to float between haze and still water.
I assumed that the island under the two bridges at Deception Pass was named for the pass.
Not so, your chart lists that one as Pass Island.
Deception Island is actually over a mile out into the strait and you drive right by it on the way to the islands.  Just another drive by place.
