Travel
Located an hour & a half north of Seattle, Deception Pass State Park is one of Washington's most scenic destinations. We picked this location as an ode to Melina's love of mountains, Edú's love of the ocean, and our shared home in the Pacific Northwest.
The map on the right shows the full Deception Pass area. The ceremony site is marked by a brown rectangle, in Bowman Bay. The bonfire afterparty will take place near Cranberry Lake, marked with a red triangle—a short drive from the ceremony site.
