⛴️🚗🧌☕️🐄 Here’s everything we did on our day trip from @visitseattle to @explorevashon and neighboring Maury Island! • Point Robinson Lighthouse • Oscar the Bird King Troll (our favorite of artist Thomas Dambo’s 5 trolls in the greater Seattle area) • Flora Hill Popsicle Stand (they have shrub sodas too!) • Coffee at @Burtoncoffeestand • Dockton Park and Forest • Pastries and coffee at the Vashon Island Coffee Roasterie @tvicr - they have a market and bookstore here too! • Vashon Center for the Arts • Mango Lassi at @venisonvalley Farm & Creamery • Rented e-bikes with @vashonadventures - a great way to get around the island! • Hiked Shinglemill Trail • Relaxed at Fern Cove • Picked up fruits at @countrystoreandfarm PRO TIPS FOR VISITING WHIDBEY VASHON ISLAND • We took the ferry from West Seattle (Fauntleroy). It leaves roughly every 30-50 minutes and takes roughly 20 minutes. • The ferry on summer weekends and holidays can have long waits. We went in early October and had no waits. • There are a bunch of farm stands along the road. Most are self-serve, and you can even Venmo for payment for anything you want. • Hours tend to be more limited on the islands so double-check before planning your day. • On the way back, the lineup for the ferry was just on the shoulder of the road. There were no signs, so Jacob hopped out to ensure we were in the correct line. We were! • Swing by Lincoln Park before or after you visit the island to see another Dambo Troll. Thank you @portofseattle and @stateofwatourism for bringing us back to the PNW to put together a guide for easy day trips from Seattle (link in bio). #localadventurer #stateofwashington #stateofwatourism #워싱턴주 #워싱턴 . . . . . #visitwashingtonstate #washingtontrails #explorewashington #wanderwashington #washingtonexplored #washington #portofseattle #vashon #vashonisland #pugetsound #nwtrolls #thomasdambotrolls #thomasdambo #pnwhikes #pnwexplored #pnwdiscovered #pnwisbeautiful #pnwonderland #upperleftusa #thatpnwlife

Perfect day trip from Seattle? Say hello to Vashon Island 🤍 Start early and catch a ferry from Seattle — the views alone set the tone for the day. ☕ First stop: Vashon Island Coffee Roasterie Fresh coffee + delicious bakery treats (the pumpkin muffin was a 10/10). Tip: They close at 4PM (2PM on Sundays), so go in the morning instead of saving it for later! 🌊 Next: Point Robinson Park Say hi to Oscar the Bird King, then wander down to the lighthouse and peaceful beach. 🌲 Then head to Maury Island Marine Park Up for a little adventure? The 1.9-mile roundtrip forest trail leads to a beautiful beach — quiet, scenic, and totally worth it. (Beautiful Mt Rainier view on a sunny day) 🛝 Family stop: Dockton Park Amazing playground for kids, relaxing waterfront views for adults, heated restrooms, and a stunning sunset spot. Perfect in winter, even better for swimming in summer. 🍦 Before catching the return ferry, stop at Glass Bottle Creamery for rich, flavorful ice cream. Need one last coffee or snack on the way back? Check out Vashon Island Baking Company(closes at 6PM) End the day with the evening ferry back to Seattle — golden skies, calm waters, and the perfect island goodbye. ✨ Save this for your next island escape 🌊 Follow @inqyourpassport for more adventures around Seattle!! #daytrips #pnwmom #vashonisland #explore #pnwmom

Vashon Island Day Trip!!! Details below👇- Be sure to save this one for a fun and easy day trip from Seattle! 1. ⛴️Take the 20 min ferry from Fauntleroy (West Seattle). Summer schedule is frequent, and we bought a ticket on the spot! We arrived 10 mins before departure. Enjoy views of Rainier and the sound! 🏔️ 2. 🍷@palousewinery is a 3 min drive from the ferry. Go enjoy the mountain views and gardens on the back patio. Snacks also available 🧀🥖Locally owned by George and Linda for over 20 years, and it turns out they are from our same hometown in California! 3. 🏞️Enjoy a 20 min forest drive south to Oscar the Bird King Troll at the Point Robinson Lighthouse park. Walk down to the water to see breathtaking views of Rainier. 4. 🥗🍖Drive over to @therubybrink restaurant downtown and enjoy their locally grown and sourced fare. The kimchi snap peas and braised beef bowl were divine. 5. 📚Walk around downtown, and catch the Vashon Bookstore and other local shops. We were serendipitously there for “First Friday” - a block party with music, smores, and classic cars! 6. 🌅 Catch the ferry back, and enjoy the sunset!! #vashon #vashonisland #seattledaytrip #seattleferry #vashondaytrip #passionforvashon seattle summer weekend ideas
