We recently travelled up with Seattle for a quick visit and found time to do some troll hunting 😊. We were able to check off two more on this visit. The first one we visited was on Vashon Island, the second was on Bainbridge Island. We needed to take a ferry to each location. It was nice to visit each island and see the major differences of each. Vashon was much more of a country feel, where Bainbridge felt a little more well established. Both were very fun to see and hang out on.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The first troll we visited was Oscar the Bird King on Vashon Island. This troll had to be one of the biggest ones we have seen. He seemed huge.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The 2nd troll was on Bainbrige Island. The name of the troll is Pia the Peacekeeper. Pia seemed like a very chill person, just hanging out providing good vibes all around.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

During our visit on Bainbridge Island we went to also visit the Bainbridge Island Japanese American Exclusion Memorial. We have been here one time before several years ago. This place just makes my head shake from side to side. Unbelievable what all of these Japanese Americans went through, not only on Bainbridge, but across the US. I just hope we never do anything like this again.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
