There is no grocery store on the island, and the nearest is 18 miles away! Be sure to shop for your groceries in advance and bring them in. Cara's corner store on Pickering is a good place to stop if you need any last minute snacks and Olympia Bakery serves coffee and pastries. The hot tub and pool are at the clubhouse, about two blocks away, and are only accessible during the summer months, Memorial Day to Labor Day. Common question: Is the island spelled Harstine or Harstene? Both are right. The island was named after Lieutenant Henry J. Hartstene, an officer and a member of an expedition commonly called the Wilkes Expedition that explored South Puget Sound in 1841. He spelled his last name both ways, hence the confusion. We acknowledge with gratitude that the island is the ancestral land of the Squaxin people, who steward this land and neighboring, uninhabited Squaxin Island.
