Vashon-Maury Island is located south of Admiralty Inlet and is the largest island in Puget Sound. Until 1916, Vashon Island was separate from Maury Island, but the local owners built an isthmus that today connects the two islands and has the little hamlet of Portage siting on it. The island is only 13 miles long and 8 miles wide and has 45 miles of shoreline. It is very quiet and rural and is accessible from the mainland only by a short ferry ride from Seattle, Tacoma, or Kitsap County. The island is very popular with tourists, who are attracted not only by the beaches but also by excellent restaurant, quaint accommodation, art galleries, and frequent festivals.
