Step Back in Time to the Days of Dairy Farms and Fishing Puget Island is actually 2 islands connected by a bridge. Settled by Scandinavians in 1884, it is sometimes called 'Little Norway.' This quaint island is perfectly flat, so the 27 miles of roads are excellent for bicycling, walking, and touring with picturesque views of historic churches, beautiful old barns, boat moorages, and several working dairy farms.
