Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As far as we know, and as confirmed by a minutes-long internet search, there has not until now been a travel guide to Vashon and Maury Islands. It is only 40 square miles in area and there are only about 11,000 residents. One might wonder why a travel guide is necessary, but the miracle of Vashon is not to be discounted. It is a sparkling gem in the crown of Puget Sound that decorates the Pacific Northwest, and the Chamber of Commerce did not pay us to say that, much as we wish they had. Simply put, Vashon is filled with wonderful places, enchanting sights, and more than a few quirky people. You need a guidebook to appreciate fully the experience of being here, and so here it is, complete with chapters on history, flora, fauna, governance, where to eat, how to dress, places to go, things to see (real and imagined), where (and how) to fall in love and/or snag a mate, myths to bust, and important rules to live by. In this guide, we offer you our years of experience so that you can enjoy your visit and stay out of trouble, unless you want to get into trouble, and then we offer a few tips for that as well.
