Vashon Island
For families in West Seattle and South Sound, consider planning an easily accessible weekend day trip or overnight getaway to Vashon Island. Perfect for beachcombers, Vashon features 45 miles of gorgeous shoreline, with orca sightings happening year-round. Be sure to check out Vashon’s famous 1885 lighthouse for Instagram-worthy photos of the kids. When you’re ready for a bite, head into Vashon’s tiny town for local eats. And cross your fingers that the exciting Vashon Sheepdog Classic will be open to the public in 2022, because it’s quite the spectacle!
