Point Partridge
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Point Partridge is the most westerly point of Whidbey Island, the largest island in Puget Sound. The point lies north of the Fort Ebey military reservation and south of West Beach. The primary importance of Point Partridge is as the northern and eastern reference point for the dividing line between Puget Sound and the Strait of Juan de Fuca. The other reference is Point Wilson. It is likely that the point was named by explorer George Vancouver in honor of his sister-in-law Martha Partridge.
