SUSTAINABLE TOURISM ON VASHON
Every year Vashon-Maury Island plays host to a myriad of local events designed to inspire and reflect our unique culture. We celebrate for many reasons: the low tides of the year, the growth of the crop of lavender, the completion of an art collection. The recent addition of the "Evening in …Series" presents the chance for islanders to share their global perspectives.
STOV is determined to maintain, nurture and preserve our island specialness for you, for us, for our children and our children's children to revel in for generations to come.
We hope by opening our doors through these special events you will join us in this long term investment in the future of our community. Please, join us.
