About
Portage Island (also known as Point Francis) is an island in the western part of Bellingham Bay in Whatcom County, Washington, United States. It is separated from the Lummi Peninsula by Portage Bay and from the central part of Lummi Island by Hale Passage.
At low tide the mudflats connect to the mainland with a long sand strip on the west side of the island called
The Portage, allowing access on foot or vehicle. Another sand strip on the east side of the island is called Brant Point.
