Access to Vashon Island

Choosing between Bainbridge and Vashon Island for a ferry trip ultimately depends on the type of experience you are looking for.

The island’s serene environment starkly contrasts urban life, making it an ideal spot for those seeking a peaceful escape.

While a car is recommended to fully explore Vashon’s amenities, shopping, and scenic outdoors, even just a casual drive through the island reveals its pastoral beauty and the creative spirit of its residents. Whether you’re art enthusiast eager to visit local artists or someone looking to unwind amidst nature, Vashon Island provides a uniquely tranquil and picturesque setting.
