Previously named one of Smithsonian Magazines Top Five Small Towns for its culture, heritage and charm, Gig Harbor is Washington’s premier maritime city. Situated on a beautiful and quiet peninsula on the Puget Sound, Gig Harbor is home to championship canoe and kayak racing teams, numerous local breweries, first-class dining and shopping, and lovely parks. Take a stroll along the historic downtown waterfront, learn more about the rich history of the area at the Harbor History Museum, or stop by the Farmer’s market or catch a concert at the Skansie Brothers Park. Ideally located close to metropolitan centers, Gig Harbor is the pinnacle of classic coastal living.
