Hidden gems worth exploring on this special pacific island
The owner of Nashi Orchards standing under an apple tree on her property

Vashon Island is just an hour from downtown Seattle, but you’ll feel like you’ve been whisked away to another world. On the 29.7 square-mile island, the pace is slower; everyone knows each other, and I was welcomed into the tight-knit community from the moment I arrived.
