Light dinner, dance to funk and end with one late slice.
Distance, night return, and tender reality
Use the e-bikes in daylight with a battery reserve and a fixed turnaround time.
Do not bike Vashon's dark rural roads after sunset.
Dockton Park Marina transient spaces: Useful south-Vashon base if King County confirms where a visiting tender belongs and how late pedestrians may return. The annual dinghy cleats are not visitor parking.
Twenty dinghy cleats exist, but the official page describes them as yearly assigned dinghy moorage. A visitor must not take an unassigned cleat. Ask whether a regular transient space may be used and pay the ordinary overnight fee when applicable.
Hours / return constraint: Park hours are dawn-dusk, while the marina expressly supports overnight stays and has a self-service kiosk. The official page does not explain after-hours pedestrian gate access; confirm before planning a late return.
- DO NOT ASSUME an empty dinghy cleat is available; the official program assigns them annually.
- DO NOT ASSUME after-hours pedestrian access because overnight boat moorage exists.
- DO NOT ASSUME a rideshare driver will be available for the return; Vashon supply is sparse.
Prearrange both directions. Do not depart Dockton without a confirmed return driver and a confirmed after-hours marina-access plan.
Taxi backup: No dependable island taxi dispatch was verified; treat app availability as non-guaranteed.
The prominent crow-flight mileage is a geographic comparison from Jerisich Dock, not a route distance. Road, marine, time, and fare figures here are planning ranges, not live quotes. The named dock panel uses verified landing information where available; otherwise it explicitly tells you to confirm before relying on it.
