The Vashon-Maury Island Beachcomber is a newspaper based in Vashon in the U.S. state of Washington. It covers local news, sports, business, and community events.[2] The Island Beachcomber publishes once a week on Wednesdays.[2] This newspaper is known for its tabloid-like character,[3] and it is owned by the Black Press Group.[4]

The Vashon-Maury Island Beachcomber was founded in 1957 and still circulates.[5] In 1958, the Beachcomber purchased another paper, News-Record, merging the two papers.[6]

In May 2020 Kevin Opsahl, editor of the Vashon-Maury Island Beachcomber, was laid off after being furloughed in March 2020. The Beachcomber is now down to two editorial staff members, reporter Paul Rowley and arts editor Elizabeth Shepherd.[2]
