Dr. Bruce Haulman invites us to consider: "What would Vashon be like if the Vashon Cross Sound Bridge had been built?"

John Cherberg is the unrecognized hero of Vashon Island. He was the right individual, at the right place, at the right time, and with the right principles to make the decision that is one of the most important decisions ever made affecting Vashon Island. The decision not to build the Vashon Bridge, more than any other single decision, allowed the island to become what it is today and not something radically different.
