Whidbey Island Washington is a large island in Puget Sound home to Naval Air Station Whidbey Island — the Navy's primary electronic warfare base. The island's access is limited to ferry crossings and the Deception Pass Bridge, creating significant evacuation constraints for the 60,000+ residents in an emergency. Cascadia Subduction Zone earthquake and tsunami risk is significant for island communities. The military mission of NAS Whidbey makes the island a relevant target for adversary operations disrupting US electronic warfare capabilities.
