2020 Map of Olalla

About this map

The Colvos Passage carves a deep blue channel through the center of this landscape, separating the mainland of the Great Peninsula from the western shores of Vashon Island. This coastal geography defines the region's character, with small maritime settlements such as Olalla, Fragaria, and Banner clinging to the mainland shoreline. On the island side, Lisabeula and Cove face the passage, highlighting a way of life oriented toward the water. Inland, the terrain is dotted with small water bodies like Long Lake, Mace Lake, and Alder Pond, which feed a network of creeks including Olalla Creek and Fragaria Creek. The presence of the Fraola Cem and the Vaughan Ranch Airfield near the center of the peninsula suggests a community where rural tradition and aviation history intersect. To the south, the expansion of modern residential patterns is visible in the structured road networks of Canterwood and Purdy.
