Here’s a map so you can easily see the location of Herron Island relative to other known points of interest in the Puget Sound region: View Herron Island – Lakebay, WA in a larger map Today, Herron Island is one of the very few private islands in all of Western Washington. The island was incorporated on April 30, 1958 as Herron Maintenance Co. (HMC), a non-profit, non-stock Washington corporation consisting of the owners of property on Herron Island. HMC is governed by its ByLaws and administered by a nonsalaried Board of Trustees elected annually from the membership. The Board is responsible for overseeing the operations and maintenance of the corporation’s properties, and establishing a balanced budget to fund these operations. Herron Island is funded solely by annual and special assessments paid by the members and by the ferry fee and the island does not receive any funding from the local, state or federal government, so governing control is maintained by all of the owners via HMC. Common properties include: -The North Beach area with Parking, open and covered picnic areas, boat ramp, small boat docks and hundreds of feet of no bank waterfront beach. – The South Beach, which is a natural undeveloped area. – All of the Roads and Rights of Way. – Goodpastor Park which has a baseball field, play area and adjacent wetlands. – Community Building and Fire Station. – Newly rebuilt Water System, including all new lines, fire hydrants & newer 80,000 gallon water tank. – The Private Herron Island Ferry “Charlie Wells” and ferry docks. – Numerous greenbelt lots throughout the island, including some community gardens. All other land (over 400 lots +/-, is privately owned. Ownership of waterfront lots includes the tidelands down to the mean sea level. The annual cost to have use and access to all of these wonderful amenities is less than $1800/yr for a single property assessment, which works out to less than $150/month. Typical monthly water costs are about $15. and the owner fare for a round-trip ride on the ferry (about a 10 minute crossing time) with car and driver is only $8.00 You can also park on the mainland at the island leased parking area and walk-on to the Ferry for $3.00 round trip. Herron Island is a unique and beautiful place in the Puget Sound Region, with abundant wildlife and friendly residents. Though you may not know everyone, expect to be waved at when you walk or drive-by other islanders, an acknowledgement of the undiscovered paradise you share. Like a biblical scene, even the Deer here (island pets) are calm and friendly enough to eat right out of your hand, a special thrill for everyone; of course many people buy special feed to keep them healthy and happy. The island is approximately 1.25 miles long, and 0.5 miles across and there are about 120 full-time residents, and many more second home owners “weekenders”. Paradise Found…..
