Winter in Vashon
I have a love-hate relationship with
Washington’s Puget Sound region. On the one hand (let’s say, summer)
it’s absolutely beautiful. I can say with confidence that it’s one of
the most beautiful places in the world. There are few major metropolitan
cities that sit alongside island-dotted waterways with a backdrop of
snow-capped mountain ranges and a variety of volcanoes. On the other
hand (let’s say, winter) the gray skies and buckets of rain make me want
to run away to to the the middle latitudes every other minute.
Seriously.
The Olympic mountains tower over the water
and provide a perfect sunset silhouette.
and provide a perfect sunset silhouette.
But even in the winter, there are always a
few stretches of days with perfectly clear skies, bright sun and
sparkling water. It’s on these kinds of days that I load up my camera
gear and lunch and head out to explore the region. This winter I headed
to the ferry terminal to checkout one of our region’s most noted
attractions: The San Juan Islands. Specifically, Vashon Island.
Vashon is a large island in the southern
end of Puget Sound, squarely between Tacoma and Seattle and a short 20
minute ferry ride from either. Washington state ferries are also
something of a treasure. I’d hate to have to ride one daily as a
commuter, but for the weekend adventurer they are the pause before the
rush. A 20 minute or 1 hour road-side stopover where you have the best
view of the city, the mountains, Mt. Rainier (our friendly local
volcano) and the water. If you’re really lucky, some dolphins or even
Orca whales will join you. And you don’t even have to get out of the car
if you don’t want to. But if you do, the outdoor decks provide a
refreshing (if frigid) blast of ocean air as you pass other ferries,
freighters and pleasure cruisers as they crisscross the Sound.

I had no real goal for the day except to
wind my way across the island by getting lost as much as possible. One
can only get so lost on an island – eventually you end up where you
started. The short winter days also meant I had a limited amount of
daylight to enjoy the island.
Getting lost was the perfect antidote to
an all-too-hectic year, and I was lucky enough to stumble upon one of
the most picturesque lighthouses on the most crystal clear of days. The
Point Robinson lighthouse serves as a beacon on the easternmost point of
the island, facing the urban density of the Seattle/Tacoma corridor
that’s maybe five miles away as the crow flies. That five miles may as
well be 1,000 as the pace of life on little Vashon is a respite of
scenic calm that thankfully only takes 20 minutes and one ferry to find.
