Maury Island, Island in Puget Sound, Washington
The 275-acre Maury Island Natural Area contains madrone forests and extends along a mile of undeveloped Puget Sound shoreline.
Named during the 1841 Wilkes Expedition after William Lewis Maury, this island connected to Vashon through an isthmus built by residents in 1913.
Local residents and environmental groups successfully advocated for the preservation of the island's natural resources, leading to its protection in 2010.
Visitors reach the island using ferries from Seattle or Tacoma, with parking available for 21 vehicles and 4 equestrian trailers near SW 260th Street.
The marine shoreline represents the longest undeveloped stretch in King County, providing essential habitats for Chinook salmon, orcas, and bull trout.
