Burton
Burton is a small waterfront community on Vashon-Maury Island in King County, Washington along Quartermaster Harbor, a quiet spot of farms, artists, waterfront recreation, and the small businesses that serve the south end of the island.

Distance is no barrier, and we add on-site time when a project warrants the trip.
