DECEPTION PASS – The Island County Sheriff’s Office is looking for signs of someone who fell into the waters of Deception Pass.

At least two people driving on the bridge between Whidbey and Fidalgo islands called 911 about 6:30 p.m. Thursday when they saw a young adult fall into the water, sheriff’s office spokeswoman Jan Smith said.

Search teams combed the islands’ shorelines Thursday night and Friday, but found nothing.

A backpack was found on the bridge that might belong to the person, Smith said.
