Vashon Island, Baby!



This week I am on beautiful Vashon Island working at the Vashon Beachcomber Newspaper.

It is a great community publication that comes out every Wednesday, delivered to around 4,000 homes on the island. The website already has a good amount of traffic, and I expect with the many features we are planning on rolling out it will really become a community hub.

I am staying at a fine establishment called Giraffe. They have a guest suite above their retail fair-trade store. It's quite cozy.

Vashon Island is also a very coffee-friendly community. I've been introduced to the French Press method of coffee brewing. It makes some tasty coffee.

Vashon Coffee Company is most famous on the island as far as coffee goes. I had the pleasure of visiting their facility and getting a sample of their blend. They have a very unique coffee shop on the Island.
