The Swinomish Channel, completed in 1937 [1], is man-made salt-water channel in Washington State, United States, which connects Skagit Bay, to the south, and Padilla Bay, to the north, separating Fidalgo Island from mainland Skagit County.

The channel is notable as being the location where Springer, an orphaned Southern Resident Killer Whale was originally sighted.
