Kiket Bay (Skagit Bay)
48° 24.5′ N · 122° 34.0′ W
A bay north of Hope Island on the Fidalgo side of Skagit Bay where boats anchor while waiting for slack in Deception Pass. Kiket Island lies just to the north.
Practical
Coordinate is the OSM bay. The Coast Pilot calls it good anchorage and notes vessels use it while waiting for slack in Deception Pass. Similk Bay, just north, is full of submerged log-raft piles: keep out. Check depth for a low tide; the north part of Skagit Bay is mostly flats that dry.
