Seattle and Tacoma ferry ports on either end of the island) on the northeast

rough guesstimate) into the woods on the north side of Sound Food Cafe.

Vashon Island, Washington - Bicycle Eaten by Tree 
A great destination for families whose children have read Berkeley Breathed's 
book,"Red Ranger Came Calling". This is the actual tree, engulfing the vintage 
bicycle, which inspired the story. The handlebars were removed by a (former) 
island author (guess who?)and hidden away until the day a big-time movie 
producer buys the rights to produce a film based on the book.   The "Aunt Vy" 
character in the book will autograph books if you visit her at her Country 
Store, across the street from the Bicycle Tree. You can't miss the Country 
Store. The Red Ranger book is sold there if anyone needs a copy! [Lisa De

I also found a source for that particular  image:

Red Ranger Came Calling  It is described also as an inspiration for a book 
about arborsculpture.
