About Anderson Island

The southernmost island in Puget Sound, reachable only by a 20-minute ferry from Steilacoom. Homes are mostly cabins, mid-century houses, and newer builds tucked into fir forest, many on the water. It draws remote workers and weekenders who want true island living — deer in the yard, eagles overhead — within a hour of Tacoma.
