About the host

Hosted by Pattie Hamner

When not on Vashon, we live in Houston, TX. Tracy works in the oil industry and I am retired from a career in high school counseling. We have two grown children, a son who lives in Scottsdale, AZ and a daughter that lives in Golden, CO. We lived in the Seattle area during my husband's career and fell in love with the Northwest. We vowed to come back and live there someday. During the search, we discovered Vashon Island and have never looked back. Vashon is an extra special place to live and visit!

Why they chose this property

The previous owner approached us one day and said, "I am selling my house would you want to buy it?" We jumped at the chance to be able to become the caretakers of this "Pink House" icon of Burton. You never get tired of the view from the huge deck and are so close to beaches for walking and trails for hiking. The house was built in the late 1890's. We have maintained the charm while providing all the comforts of home.

What makes this property unique

Vashon is only a 20 minute ferry ride from West Seattle and 15 minutes from Tacoma. Yet when you come to the island you feel hundreds of miles from a metropolitan area. Relax and read a book, walk the beaches, hike the many trails on the island to unwind from the busy city. The art, theatre and music scene is robust to say the least. You can enjoy a live musical performance, art show and even an opera all year round.
