Anacortes anchors the northern end of this coastal survey, where the landscape transitions from the urban corporate boundary to the high, varied terrain of Whidbey Island. The geography is defined by the narrow, high-current corridor of Deception Pass and Canoe Pass, which separate the islands and create a complex network of bays such as Bowman Bay and Cornet Bay. The topographic and bathymetric data reveal a rugged shoreline where steep summits like Mt Erie and Sugarloaf rise abruptly from the waters of Rosario Strait.
