Port Susan

A swampy waterway connects the northern end of Port Susan with Skagit Bay.

In late May and early June 1792 George Vancouver's expedition explored Port Susan and gave it its current name.

Most of Port Susan was surveyed by boats under Vancouver's officer Joseph Whidbey.

On June 3, 1792, Vancouver held a formal ceremony taking possession of the region for Britain, at which time he named today's Saratoga Passage "Port Gardner", in honor of Vice-Admiral Sir Alan Gardner.
