Vashon Island Links? OK: let's be honest here, folks. Fifteen years ago when the Internet was relatively young, it was really *cool* to have a list of links to neat stuff you'd found on the World Wide Web. Now it's both an impossible and an irrelevant task (think Google ) so the Vashon Island Links I once collected are mainly for historical interest and many links may be broken. Someday maybe I can start to get them updated in my "spare time"...

The Vashon Island Strawberry Festival!


The O Space: Open Space for Arts and Community

"Our dream is to offer Vashon a community space with an arts focus.

Our goal is to provide a performing arts, events and meeting facility that is well equipped, flexible, affordable and available to island arts groups and individual artists for the realization of their projects and dreams.

Given our experience with non-profit and public entities, we have structured this as a hybrid endeavor - at its core it is a philanthropic initiative, built on a private enterprise model, with a community service mission and character.

Translation: this facility requires no public funding because it is privately owned and maintained. And we as owners, rather than seeking a profit, choose to be stewards of a community resource."


The Vashon Community Calendar!

"Make a date with Vashon: a comprehensive calendar of events, meetings and classes on Vashon Island, WA, sponsored and administered as a community service by Vashon Allied Arts."


And here's the Vashon Park District's Facilities Calendar!

A handy way to figure out what's going on at all the different venues the Parks District manages...

And while we're on the subject of Island Festivals:

Islewilde!

"The 14th Annual Islewilde Community Arts Celebration is a free, three-day arts festival in August (Workshops: August 7-17 - Festival: August 20-22) featuring a parade, a night-time lantern walk, stilt walking creatures, live music, a children's circus, a late-night cabaret, and a community pageant. These performances are largely generated in workshops in the three weeks preceding the festival taught by professional artist from around the Pacific Northwest."

 

Get email notification of unexpected Washington State Ferry system
service disruptions right after they occur.

This is actually pretty cool!
If you've got email at work, sign up for it!

Then you'll be able to stew about not being able to get home on time for even longer than you would, otherwise ;-)

 

This is very cool:

The Voice of Vashon!

"Voice of Vashon serves our Island community in three ways. We are:

  • A cable public access television station, VoV-TV on Comcast cable channel 21
  • A community Internet radio station, webcasting right here at www.voiceofvashon.org.
  • A community bulletin board and emergency alert radio station, VoV Standing By at 1650AM."

  • Welcome to PurelyAlpaca!!

    "Purely Alpaca Clothing, Sweaters, Socks...Stylish alpaca sweaters, beautiful scarves, funky hats, gloves, cozy alpaca socks and more...!

    "We first learned of alpacas in 1998 while looking through a magazine. We just loved the LOOK of the animals. After a couple of years of research we began an alpaca farm on Vashon Island, near Seattle. Soon after we launched a farm store selling alpaca finished products."

     

  • This is very cool! Check out Jim Sherman's "The Antique Engine Shop"

    "This site is dedicated to my antique engine collection. Several of my engines were found here on Vashon and others came from around the Puget Sound area"

    Jim is a 6th generation Vashon Island native. There's not a lot of people who can say that!

  • Water Spouts over Puget Sound? The March 3, 1999 storm in Western Washington caused all sorts of problems: 250,000 people without electricity (I had no power for 15 hours..), the Evergreen Point floating bridge damaged and closed to traffic for 72 hours, and the Fauntleroy ferry dock (in the last of these pictures) damaged and closed for 24 hours after it was hit by the ferry Quinault during an abortive landing early Wednesday morning.

    This production of Shakespeare's "The Two Gentlemen of Verona" was performed by the Blue Heron Teen Thespians, at the Blue Heron Center for the Arts, January 8 and 9, 1999, under the direction of Mark Sheppard.

    This group has been acting together, for the most part, since back in elemetary school. There are one or two new players in this production; the actors range from the seventh to the ninth grades; some are in the Vashon school system, some from private schools on the Island, and some are home-schooled..

    Working
    A Musical
    Written by Studs Terkel
    Directed by Mark Sheppard

    Held at Vashon High School Theater

    "Working", based on the book by Studs Terkel, is filled with contemporary music by such artists as James Taylor (Millworker and Brother Trucker), Craig Carnelia, Mary Rodgers, Stephen Schwartz and Micki Grant. The songs are created for the "real-life" unsung heroes of today and are filled with hope, promise, regret and longing. The script is taken directly from the book which is based on interviews with dozens of hard working people -- some of them love their jobs, some do not -- and we get a glimpse inside into what makes people do the things they do.

     

  • Hills and Mountains

Vashon Island Schools!

The Vashon Island School District has a lot going for it, in my opinion. One thing I particularily like is the fact that all three schools, elementary, middle, and high school, are located on one large wooded campus. This makes cooperation and communication between the three schools very easy since each school is within a short, safe walk from any other. This demystifies middle school for the elementary kids, and lets middle school kids use the sports facilities at the high school, for example. Most of the teachers are Island residents, and many of the kids have gone to school with one another since daycare...

Years past, I was on the Walkie-Talkie Patrol at the High School, over lunch time, one Monday every other week.

Two parents (usually) strolled the campus over lunch while another parent opened the gym so the kids can play basketball.

The kids were pretty positive about us being on campus, for the most part, although *some* Class of 2000 graduating seniors did vote the Walkie-Talkie Patrol as the number one thing they wouldn't miss about high school!

Oh, well. You can't please all the people, all the time...

Our  Vashon was named for Captain James Vashon, who was sailing with Captain George Vancouver when Vashon was "discovered" in 1792.

  • Vashon Island Fire and Rescue!

    "HOW TO BECOME A VOLUNTEER

    The heart and soul of Vashon Island Fire and Rescue is the volunteer firefighting force that has provided life-saving service to the community of Vashon since 1942. It would be impossible to quantify the life and property that have been saved due to their effort in their more than 60 years of responding. To that end, VIFR works diligently to support the recruitment, training, safety and retention of the Volunteer firefighting force. We hope that if you are reading this handbook; you are already a volunteer, interested in becoming a volunteer or wondering how you can be involved as a non-responder. Hopefully this website and these icons will provide information for everyone."

     

  • IDVOS: discussing a very important and too-easily ignored societal problem: domestic violence on Vashon Island

    "We are an agency where a victim of domestic violence can feel understood and supported on their journey toward a life free of violence. We seek to empower them to step out of the isolation that so often paralyzes victims who live in rural areas. We are working to eliminate the barriers of denial and misunderstanding in our community, which discourage victims from accessing and utilizing dv services. Our mission at IDVOS is to lead our island community in acknowledging, understanding and responding to domestic violence. Because every person on Vashon has the right to a safe and healthy home-life."

     

  • The Vashon-Maury Island Community Council

    "What is the Council?

    The Vashon-Maury Island Community Council is a town hall style forum for discussion of issues relevant to the residents of Vashon and Maury Islands. The Council is recognized by King County as an Unincorporated Area Community Council.

    As a town-hall forum, decisions are made by a public vote at our General Meetings. Much of the work of the Council takes place in our Committees, which then forward their recommendations to the whole Council for action."

     

  • Vashon Allied Arts

    "Vashon Allied Arts (VAA) is the oldest community arts center in the state of Washington. Founded in 1966, we continue to provide opportunities for Islanders of all ages to create and experience art at many levels."

Our home, The Blue Heron Art Center, is the historic Odd Fellows Building located on Vashon Highway just south of Cemetery Road on beautiful Vashon Island."

  • UMO

    "A Brief UMO Biography:

    UMO began their creative collaboration in 1987. The company is committed to an Ensemble of performers who create and compose their own productions. The Ensemble's creative process is rooted in physical theatre. Improvisations in movement, character, vocalizing, and writing are the basis for the creation and development of new works. For each piece there is a member of the Ensemble who serves as artistic director, holding the larger picture in mind. Since their arrival on Vashon Island in 1989, UMO Ensemble has created over twenty original works for the theatre. The Ensemble's material reflects their diverse range of styles and skills: the copper sculpture "dance animation" of Instinction (1987); the fifteen foot tall puppetry of Who Nose (1990), the mask and Red Nose clown work of Midnight Comix (1990) and Naughty Bits (1991), the lovably irreverent Buffoons of El Dorado (1992) and Insatiable Cabaret (1993); the acrobatic Djool of Caravan of Dreams (1994); the haunting, stripped-down beauty of Digging (1996) and Body Inheritance (1997); the archetypal fables of Expressions of the Spirit (1999); the breathtaking aerial virtuosity of Millennium Circus (1999), and the musical and architectural richness of Cities (2001)."

    • I say: Simply the most stunning theatrical troupe I've ever seen! Their performance at the 1998 Vashon Island Strawberry Festival was stupendous! Since 1992 UMO has produced Islewilde every summer - a month of free public workshops that culminate in a weekend-long performance celebration.

     

  • Islewilde!

    "The 14th Annual Islewilde Community Arts Celebration is a free, three-day arts festival in August featuring a parade, a night-time lantern walk, stilt walking creatures, live music, a children's circus, a late-night cabaret, and a community pageant. These performances are largely generated in workshops in the three weeks preceding the festival taught by professional artist from around the Pacific Northwest."

     

  • Vashon Island Parks District

    "The District seeks to provide recreational opportunities and facilities to its residents. This includes developing and preserving passive and active recreational resources for the betterment of all the residents of the District as well as protecting the rural and natural qualities of Vashon Maury Island. The District will insure facilities and services shall remain within adopted standards and service levels."

    "Each year at this time, the Park District Board of Commissioners invites Island groups and individuals to submit their ideas for 2005 large improvement or acquisition projects for Island parks. In the past, such projects have included grant matches for projects at Pt. Robinson, Jensen Point and Ober Park. Funding to improve park features has also been provided for the Paradise Ridge Assembly Building, Agren field, Burton Skate Park, Fern Cove's Belle Baldwin house, Wingehaven drainage improvements and more. The process begins now for funding in 2005. Interested groups or individuals need to call or visit the Park District office and request a "Capital Improvement Project Evaluation" form. Once completed, the forms will be reviewed by the Board to determine if the project should continue through the process for possible inclusion in the 2005 budget. All forms must be returned to the Park District office by April 30 so drop by and get yours now! For more information, call the District office at 463-9602."

Fun, friends and new adventures away from home create a valuable and memorable experience. Each child brings home a new sense of self-confidence, independence, teamwork and social skills that last a lifetime. The entire Camp Sealth staff is dedicated to enriching children's lives."

    "It all begins on a boat! We charter the "Goodtime II," which departs from Shilshole Marina in the Ballard neighborhood of Seattle for an exciting and memorable two-hour cruise to Camp Sealth on Vashon Island. On board, anticipation builds as children meet a few staff members and new friends, sing and get into the spirit of camp! Transportation is available from Pt. Defiance ferry dock in Tacoma, but we highly recommend the Goodtime II, affectionately called "Da Boata!""

    "The inn, established in 1992, is reminiscent of the late Victorian inn in architecture, decor and attention to detail. Cupolas, multi-lighted windows and bright trim add to its distinctiveness. It is run much like a European auberge where accommodation and food service are provided in an intimate setting and on a personal basis. The innkeepers and staff have created an attractive, richly comfortable environment reflecting the authenticity and warmth of the turn-of-the century home originally on the property."

She passionately believed that her efforts would help in her quest to leave a living planet, benefiting kids for generations to come. You see, she was confused with people enjoying nature's bounty on the trail, while unwittingly carrying foods in their backpacks that were directly contributing to the environment's decline.

    Now, we sell BumbleBars all across the Unitied States to folks like YOU. In 2002 we used over 70,000 lbs. of certified organic ingredients and thousands of pounds of recycled paper products. People love BumbleBars because they taste so good and we love BumbleBars because of the legacy we are leaving...."

  • Stewart Brothers (er - well, that's what it was)Seattle's Best Coffee

    I dunno the whole story: SBC had a roasterie on the Island, and had a retail shop at the stop sign at Vashon Highway and Cemetery Road, but they sure don't mention Vashon at their web site...

    And now you have this:

    "Starbucks Corporation Completes Acquisition of Seattle Coffee Company

    July 14, 2003 (SEATTLE, WA) Starbucks Corporation (Nasdaq: SBUX) today announced that it has completed the acquisition of Seattle Coffee Company from AFC Enterprises, Inc. (Nasdaq: AFCE) announced on April 16, 2003. Seattle Coffee Company includes the Seattle's Best Coffee® (SBC) and Torrefazione Italia® Coffee (TI) brands."

    I only drink Shade Grown French Roast from The Holy Brotherhood of the Monastery of the All-Merciful Saviour anyway...

     

  • and Torrefazione Italia

    "Torrefazione Italia is roasted to order daily at our roasterie on Vashon Island, just outside of Seattle. We guarantee that all our coffees will be freshly roasted, packaged and rushed to you in order to preserve its freshness and flavor."

    So maybe what I think of as being Seattle's Best's roasterie is Torrefazione Italia's -- they're a division of SBC, or they were, or, it's really Starbucks, I dunno...

     

  • Anyway, while we're talkin' coffee: Shade Grown French Roast!

    "The monks view their coffee company as a means to sustain their life of spiritual contemplation. "Our main purpose of existence is prayer" says Father Tryphon. "Volunteers of all faiths have helped design and build the monastery and proceeds from the growing coffee company will help meet the monastery's financial needs.""

    Monastery Blend "Shade-grown French Roast" is my personal favorite, and is the only coffee I ever drink at home.

    They also have teas, too.
