Welcome to Vashon

This is our rural rock, nestled between the bustling centers of Seattle and Tacoma.

The Pacific Northwest’s rich, unvarnished beauty is reflected in our vast shorelines, calm forests, prolific farms and rural hometown vibe. We consider ourselves lucky to live here. And we consider every visitor a potential future neighbor.

Whether you’re a resident or a day-tripper, you’re in the right place to explore Vashon,

Meet our newest Unofficial Mayor

We were thrilled to celebrate the election of TK Rose, Vashon’s new Unofficial Mayor at this year’s Strawberry Festival.

TK Rose is an 8-year-old with big moves and an even bigger heart. TK is the person most likely to get the dancing started and is a friend to everyone he meets. A dance student at VCA and arts enthusiast, TK’s candidacy supports the Blue Heron Education Center’s Scholarship Fund because, as he says, “Everyone should have the chance to dance.” Vote for TK and keep the arts accessible to all of Vashon’s youth!
