	Vashon Island: A broad spectrum of people battle the elements and call it home (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-24)
		Their history of hardiness dates back to the late 1800s when the first farmers, loggers, fishermen and settlers carved out a sometimes bountiful existence with what historians call "good old elbow grease." There are four hardware stores in the small town center to serve do-it-yourselfers.
		This touch-love of "rurality," as residents call it, is the unifying force among an otherwise independent-minded conglomeration of divergent political opinions.
		That's why the broad spectrum of opinion on this 14-mile long, five-mile wide island -- from loggers to tree-huggers, yuppies to hippies, artists to rednecks, earring-nosed teens to surly old-timers -- is usually spanned when the rural environment is threatened.

		Vashon-Maury Island is located in the middle of southern Puget Sound, midway between Seattle and Tacoma, within the boundaries of King County.
		In time, Vashon-Maury Island residents have been able to maintain most of their rural way of life, while moving forward with the rest of King County into the twenty-first century.
		Of all areas of the county, the island has seen the least development, helped in part by a limited water supply that can’t handle the kind of growth that has occurred elsewhere.

		Named in 1792 by explorer George Vancouver for his friend James Vashon, the island had been home to Coast Salish natives for hundreds of years.
		Throughout the later part of the 20th century, islanders have resisted development and fiercely opposed suggestions that a bridge to the mainland be built.
		Thus, these affluent islands of about 48 square miles have maintained their pastoral setting, with 54 miles of tidal waterfront creating a rural enclave in Puget Sound.
