Guest Access:
Vashon Island, nestled in Washington’s Puget Sound, is only reachable by ferry (or private boat/plane) unless you’ve got a portkey or magic broom—there are no bridges. The Washington State Ferries (WSF) system runs three primary vehicle ferry routes to the island, landing at either the north end (Vashon Ferry Terminal) from Southworth (west) or Fauntleroy (east/Seattle), or the south end (Tahlequah Ferry Terminal) from Point Defiance (south/Tacoma).
Explore Vashon Island and Seattle’s Charms
Located in the heart of Dockton, this retreat is minutes from Vashon’s vibrant offerings. Stroll to the Vashon Village (6 miles) for eclectic shops, cozy cafes like The Ruby Brink, or farm-to-table dining at May Kitchen + Bar. Wander the trails at Maury Island Marine Park for breathtaking Puget Sound views or beachcomb along Point Robinson Lighthouse, a historic gem with a keeper’s cottage straight out of a storybook. Art lovers can explore local galleries like Vashon Center for the Arts, while outdoor enthusiasts can kayak with Vashon Watersports or hike the lush trails of Island Center Forest. Visit the Vashon Farmers Market (April-October) for local produce, crafts, and a taste of island life. For a city adventure, hop on a quick ferry to Seattle (20-30 minutes), where you can explore iconic landmarks like Pike Place Market, the Space Needle, or Chihuly Garden and Glass. Enjoy Seattle’s vibrant dining scene, stroll through historic Pioneer Square, or take a scenic waterfront walk along Puget Sound, all easily accessible for a day trip from your magical island retreat.
Ferry Schedules & Tickets: Check live schedules and purchase tickets via the WSF website or app. Round-trip fares for vehicles and passengers are paid when heading to the island; exiting is free. To ensure a smooth voyage, plan to arrive 45–60 minutes early during peak travel times (summer and weekends).
The entire castle is yours to explore, enjoy your magical stay!
Reaching and roaming this enchanted island is part of the adventure! Since Vashon Island is only accessible by ferry (or by broom, portkey, or private boat for the especially magical), most guests arrive via the Washington State Ferries. Once on the island, having a car is the best way to explore its winding forest roads, hidden beaches, and charming villages at your own pace.
The castle is just a short drive from shops, trails, and local eateries, and there’s ample parking on-site for your carriage (or vehicle of choice). For a slower, storybook pace, bicycles are a delightful way to see the island — just beware of the occasional mischievous hill!
Ferries to and from Seattle, Tacoma, and Southworth run daily, making day trips to the mainland both easy and scenic. Keep an eye on ferry schedules, especially in summer, when island wanderers abound.
However you choose to travel, the journey to and around Vashon is all part of the spell.
