Who knew a day trip across the Sound was so easy? Last week on Back2Besa, Besa Gordon hopped on the King County Water Taxi’s newly added Saturday schedule to Vashon Island. Thanks to the new Saturday schedule, Besa could dip out of the city on the weekend to take a much-needed deep breath, bask in the hometown vibes, and recenter her spirit before starting her week strong. 

On the island, Chef Dre, owner of the soul food restaurant Gravy, picked Besa up for a tour of some of his favorite island spots. The duo stopped by Vashon Island Baking Company for some cake and coffee, and Chef Dre’s joint for some tasty fried treats he cooked up himself. Talk about a double Black business uplift!
