VASHON ISLAND
A WATERFRONT COMMUNITY

Vashon Island is a little piece of waterfront rural paradise just west of Seattle. It is actually two islands, Vashon and Maury. In addition to beaches, pastures and quaint towns, there are many Island-run businesses. It is reachable only by ferry from West Seattle or Tacoma. At the northern tip of the island there is access to complete ferry service to West Seattle (Fauntleroy), foot passenger/bicycle only service to Coleman Dock in Seattle, and service westward to Southworth on the Olympic Peninsula. The southern tip of the island accommodates the ferry route to Point Defiance in Tacoma.

Vashon-Maury Island is home to many painters, potters, jewelers, stained glass artists, musicians, writers and organic farmers. In addition there are ongoing art classes and an 'artists in the schools' program.
