Hop a Ferry to Vashon Island

Julia Kuskin

Explore galleries, sandy beaches, and woodsy trails on this Washington isle just a shout from Seattle

Sunset 

 

Part of the allure of Vashon Island is that it's not overrun with day-trippers. (And don't worry: We're not advocating that it should be.) But as long as you respectfully convert to Island Time, locals welcome you to explore its sandy beaches, woodsy trails, and galleries.
A popular bumper sticker proclaims KEEP VASHON WEIRD, revealing the heart of this artistic community, just a shout from Seattle.
Now the secret's out: Vashon is for visitors too. (Ideally those who ditch their cars and pedal the 5 miles from the ferry into town.)
