Dewey, Skagit County, Washington

Dewey (also Gibraltar) is an unincorporated community in Skagit County, Washington, United States.

History
The community was originally called Deception, then Fidalgo City and renamed in 1898 after George Dewey, a naval officer in the Spanish–American War. An interurban railway was completed between Anacortes and Fidalgo City in 1891 with the sole purpose of securing land grants, as it ran with a minimum number of trips before ceasing operations.
