All islanders are invited to a Quake, Rattle & Roll Sock Hop on Friday, May 31 from 7 - 11 PM at the K2 Commons. Donation is $10. You can purchase tickets at the Vashon Book Shop and at Books By The Way. The fundraiser, sponsored by the Vashon Rotary and VashonBePrepared will help the Voice of Vashon get a third radio tower so that all islanders can tune to 1650 AM during an emergency to get information and assistance. There will be food, music from the 50s and 60s, games, prizes and entertainment for the whole family. See you there! |

In case of emergency, VoV is now -standing by- |
|
Vashon Island has a radio station. It's on the air right now at 1650 AM.
To the FCC, we're known as WQHK904. Here on the Island, you'll know us as Voice of Vashon Standing By.
The name serves as a kind of statement of purpose. Should disaster strike, such as an earthquake or even another serious windstorm, there will be information you need: What roads are closed? When will the ferries run again? Where can I find emergency shelter? How do I get potable water? |

Are you having trouble connecting to the VoV webstream? If so, you are (unfortunately) not alone. We recently changed our webserver and not surprisingly, have introduced a couple of "glitches". First, you may have noticed that the name of the song/show playing does not appear in the upper right hand corner of the screen; we are working on restoring this feature so that you can tell what you are listening to. .
