Founded in 1946, Gig Harbor is one of the most beautiful small cities in America. Located on Gig Harbor Bay in Puget Sound across the Narrows Bridge from Tacoma, the greater Gig Harbor area has almost 50,000 residencies. The city’s population is about 7,000 in an area of 4.14 square miles of towering fir trees and gorgeous landscapes. Clustered around a small, nearly land-locked harbor with magnificent views, the community is known for boats riding at anchor, colorful winding streets, and small shops where the proprietor is on site to welcome visitors. A strong Scandinavian and Croatian heritage influences the nautical lifestyle here.
Although there has been significant growth, it still has the look, feel, and fresh salt-air smell of a small fishing village. Residents can enjoy one of the finest views in the Puget Sound area, with the picturesque Mount Rainier towering in the background—a sight that has inspired hundreds of thousands of photographs and postcards over the years. This community is a place where residents and visitors can take a quiet stroll along the 2.8 miles of waterfront, and shop in stores such as The White Whale, Kelly's Laffin Crab, Hide and Sea, and the Beach Basket.
Along the downtown waterfront are art galleries, antique shops, clothing and gift boutiques, marine hardware stores and restaurants with harbor views. It hosts several annual events including a classic car show in May and an art festival in July. Real estate options in Gig Harbor include condominiums, townhouses, single-family homes, and waterfront estates.
