The hard to find combination of an exceptionally beautiful place with an involved, progressive community committed to slow growth and quality of life...
- Vashon Island and its attached sister, Maury Island are the dream combination of a rural area, close to a large city, with a progressive, active community.
- Vashon and Maury Island, with 36 square miles, is inhabited by just over 10,000 people. That low density makes this a very desirable place to live.
- There are hundreds of acres of open space, preserved forests, beautiful parks, farms and beaches. The activism of the community has kept this so.
- Our schools are among the best in the state. Community support has created an atmosphere of shared responsibility for our children and their education.
- We have a very active cultural scene. Dozens of artists and musicians make Vashon their home. There are theatre performances, galleries, and concerts.
- Although small, our town provides good stores, a large number of churches, a farmers market and many restaurants so you don't have to leave the Island.
- There are all types of sports and activities for adults and children during the year. We have many service clubs and special interest organizations.
- With Mt. Rainier to our south, the Cascade Range to our east, and the Olympics to our west, it's hard to find a more beautiful place in all of the Puget Sound.
