The Washington State Department of Transportation (WSDOT) was considering several options: Widen the Deception Pass & Canoe Pass Bridges. Build a new bridge parallel to the Deception Pass and Canoe Pass Bridges. Build a new bridge from North Whidbey to Camano Island. Build a new bridge from North Whidbey to mainland near La Conner, via Goat Island. Plans for new construction were cut short by Tim Eyman's I-695.
