So it seems. Every place you walk in has a doggie biscuit bowl, and everyone talks about their dogs when greeting each other. There are also lots of stray dogs.

Actually, I think the backstory there is that Vashon Island was once a place where people would unceremoniously dump their canine companions (or so they thought) when they decided to not take care of them anymore. So the place has become an unofficial canine sanctuary of sorts. So, I actually have to give a shout-out to all the residents for giving them wonderful homes.

Vashon Island is also really beautiful, and unlike the other Kitsap County islands. (Probably because it’s the only full fledged King County Island in Puget Sound, perhaps?)
