Simply board the ferry in West Seattle (by car or bicycle), blink your eyes, and find yourself on a rural isle that’s roughly the size of Manhattan and marked by an artsy, carefree and hippie-tinged personality of its very own. If you only have 24 hours or so to explore Vashon, here are a couple gems you won’t want to miss.

It has a similar feel to Melrose Market in Capitol Hill, with an open and welcoming space for browsing, gathering, and dining. Here’s a rundown of what 400 Fairview has to offer.
