Vashon, Washington
You will see the sun set, the tides come and go, the resident eagles, osprey and herons, the jagged silhouette of the Olympics, and the distant pristine shore of Blake Island. You will hear the water lapping and the sea gulls calling, you will see the ferry and hear its faraway rumble. You can see occasional sailboats and tug boats and rowboats, but none disturbs the peace here. Here you can enjoy a rare thing - quiet. And in the still of the night, something rarer still - utter silence.
