Note

Alice was born on Vashon Island, an interesting locale located in Puget Sound, midway between Seattle and Tacoma. There is a portage between Vashon and Maury Island, a preferred hunting ground for the natives in the early days. Woven nets spanned the short distance between the two islands to catch low-flying water fowl. The portage also played an important part in a vast battle between warring tribes. Tribes from Vancouver Island and northward oftentimes traveled to Puget Sound to kill local Indians and pillage their camps. Legend has it that the Nisqually tribe grew tired of this and formed a navy of large war canoes within Quartermaster Harbor. When the invaders came down from the north, Nisqually canoes streamed through the portage and sank the enemy fleet, mainly with thrown rocks.
At the time of Alice's birth, the main issue recently solved by residents was off-island transportation. The first auto ferry arrived in 1916, when the King County Ferry System began running the M. V. Vashon between Des Moines and Portage. Within a few years a paved highway traversed the island north-south. Other paved roads soon appeared, including one connecting the two islands. Although folks could move easily around their community, they were heavily dependent on ferries to go anywhere else.²
