Snake Horse Harbor is the watery home of Deception Island.
History[]
Located among the San Juan Islands near Washington, Snake Horse Harbor is named for Cadborosaurus, the legendary local sea monster that has the body of a snake and the head of a horse. Hilda Swenson was the mayor of the harbor for eight years.
On Deception Island is a lighthouse, the Hot Kettle Cafe, a museum called Whale World and Katie Firestone, who operates Katie Firestone tours and takes people whale watching on her boat.
Danger on Deception Island[]
In 2003, a lone orca showed up in the harbor, causing many to wonder what to do about it.
