The waters of Puget Sound surrounding Vashon Island are home to seals, sea
lions, and occasionally whales and dolphins. Blue Herons and Bald Eagles are often seen along and above the island’s shores, making its beaches popular for bird watching and boating. Inland, Vashon has a charm and country flavor all its own. There are miles of tree lined roads and trails for walking, riding and driving. Cycling, kayaking and horseback riding have always been popular on Vashon. Antique stores, gift shops, as well as seasonal farmers markets and festivals also add to the island’s laid back metropolitan ambiance.
