Arrive at the Vashon Strawberry Festival in style. Take the Water Taxi this Saturday!
 Vashon is getting ready to become the center of the strawberry universe, and the King County Water Taxi is here to help you enjoy it!

When you get off the Water Taxi, hop on the King County Metro Route 118 to get to the festival. Additional bus trips will be added July 16 to supplement the regular Saturday schedule.
