Good old loop vent
Informative.

Why couldn't you just add an air admittance valve under the island?
Love knowing how that stuff works.
Where I’m at (Cincinnati) clean outs are required under the sink and at the wall. I guess not needed here but I like it as a cheap way to get piece of mind; allows you to quickly clear the vent portion from either direction in case of a blockage.
