Anderson Island

Anderson Island Adventures (Part II) (260 Good Days in Tacoma)

Submitted by on

After our hike at Andy's Marine Park, we piled our muddy selves back into the car and drove over to the Old School House at Wide Awake Hollow. The kids had spotted it on the way to the park, and it served as a nice carrot on the trail back. This one room school house remained in operation until the late 1960s, when the Anderson Island school district joined with the Steilacoom schools.

(100 entries!) As a freeway-phobe, I'm always looking for escapes that don't involve too much driving. This morning I wanted to try something new, and Anderson Island looked pretty inviting.

The island is actually a pretty quick trip from Tacoma. A ferry makes (somewhat) hourly trips from Steilacoom, a half hour drive from Tacoma if you take the back roads.
