Bowman Bay (Washington) Explained

Bowman Bay is a bay in the state of Washington, United States. It was formerly called Reservation Bay, having been part of a military reservation. In 1977 it was given its current name in honor of Amos Bowman, an American settler of nearby Fidalgo Island.^[1] The name of Anacortes on Fidalgo Island is derived from the name of Bowman's wife, Anna Curtis.^[1]

The bay is now part of Deception Pass State Park.^[2]
