- Paprika (US /pəˈprikə/, /pæˈprikə/; UK /ˈpæprɪkə/, /pəˈpriːkə/) is a spice made from dried and ground red peppers. It is traditionally made from Capsicum annuum varietals in the Longum group, including chili peppers. Paprika can have varying levels of heat, but the chili peppers used for hot paprika tend to be milder and have thinner flesh than those used to produce chili powder. In some languages, but not English, the word paprika also refers to the plant and the fruit from which the spice is made, as well as to peppers in the Grossum group (e.g., bell peppers).

Although it is common to refer to the bridges both to the north and south of Pass Island collectively as the Deception Pass Bridge (and the NRHP designation embraces both), technically that name belongs only to the bridge south of the island. The bridge to the north (entirely in Skagit County; the south end of the Deception Pass Bridge is in Island County) is properly the Canoe Pass Bridge.
