Stewarding and preserving Sunrise Ridge in ways that contribute to the health and well-being of the people of Vashon/Maury Islands.
The acquisition of the Sunrise Ridge Nike Missile site by VMHSC came to fruition in 1976 after the site was declared surplus. A grant for use of the site for 30 years, championed by Vashon resident Dorothy Johnson, was obtained. The federal government then deeded the site to the community, as represented by the committee. Our Mission: To steward and preserve Sunrise Ridge in ways that contribute to the health and well-being of the people of Vashon/Maury Islands.
We are a 501 (c) 3 not-for-profit organization that provides for tenancy for a variety of not-for-profit organizations on Vashon-Maury Islands serving the community.
