Rainbow Bridge, Steel bridge in La Conner, Washington, US.
The Rainbow Bridge is a steel arch bridge spanning the Swinomish Channel and connecting Fidalgo Island to La Conner. The structure measures approximately 243 meters in length and rises about 23 meters above the water, allowing boats to pass underneath.
Construction was completed in 1957, creating a permanent connection between the island and the mainland. This completion significantly improved transportation infrastructure across the Skagit County region.
The bridge has become a familiar landmark in the local community and shapes La Conner's appearance with its distinctive profile. Both residents and visitors cross it daily while taking in views of the surrounding waterways and tidal areas.
The bridge is open to vehicles and pedestrians, connecting the town to surrounding communities. It is wise to drive carefully during bad weather, as the elevated structure can be exposed to wind and wet conditions.
The distinctive arch shape of the structure stands out against the sky and is often photographed from various vantage points around town. This silhouette has become a visual signature for the area and draws photographers seeking the best perspective.
