Hale Passage

Hale Passage is the name of two different bodies of water in Puget Sound, in the U.S. state of Washington.

  • In the north Sound, in Whatcom County, Hale Passage separates Lummi Island from the mainland near Bellingham. 48°43′48″N 122°40′46″W / 48.73000°N 122.67944°W / 48.73000; -122.67944 (Hale Passage, Whatcom County)
  • In the south Sound in Pierce County, another Hale Passage separates Fox Island from the Kitsap Peninsula, near Gig Harbor. 47°16′36″N 122°39′05″W / 47.27667°N 122.65139°W / 47.27667; -122.65139 (Hale Passage, Pierce County)

In both cases, the passages were named by the Wilkes Expedition for ethnologist Horatio Hale.[1]
