I’d never heard of Washington Island until you posted that article. It reminds me of South Bass Island in Lake Erie where the town of Put-In-Bay is located. Except Washington Island appears more desolate and less of a destination than South Bass Island.
Oh, it’s hoppin’ in the summertime and in the winter when there’s a good snow pack. It’s part of Door County, which is where everyone goes for summer vacations from all over the USA and beyond. Been there many times through the years.
Washington Island is right off the tip of the Wisconsin ‘peninsula’ where everything happens. ;)
