Voice of Vashon has received a major grant from Puget Sound Energy Foundation. The $15,000 grant will fund the final phase of development of the Island's emergency broadcasting system on 1650AM.

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?

In a competition that included the media giants, Reuters and the Associated Press, and regional newspapers, such as the Washington Post, the Cincinnati Enquirer, and the Orlando Sentinel, the Voice of Vashon, an internet radio and local access TV station on Vashon Island, earned a "Notable Entry" ranking for a 2007 Knight-Batten Award in the category of Citizen Media.
