Tranquil Isolation
Photograph by Penny De Los Santos
Shadowed mountains and shifting skies paint a dramatic backdrop for life on this coastal sliver of Washington State. In the 18th century, Spanish explorers dubbed the region Punta Cepeda. In 1792, while surveying the Pacific coast for the British crown, English explorer George Vancouver—whose namesake Canadian city sits 20 miles (30 kilometers) to the north—named the area Point Roberts after his friend Henry Roberts, a sea captain.
