Nestled at the south end of Puget Sound is the quiet waterfront village of Gig Harbor. A community rich in maritime history, scenery, quaint shops and unparalleled recreation. The Gig Harbor Peninsula area is a haven for scenery lovers and those seeking an escape from the ordinary. Ours is the awesome view of Mount Rainier that adorns calendars and travel books around the world. Make your memories in a place where you are welcome. Gig Harbor is your destination. A place to relax, refresh and rejuvenate.

Gig Harbor, Washington, was named by Captain Charles Wilkes, commander of the American Exploration Expedition of 1838-1842. Wilkes' crew was charting the area from a gig (a small boat) and a longboat when they sought shelter in the Gig Harbor Bay during a storm. The crew began calling our area "small harbor" and "gig harbor."

Things have changed slightly since the Expedition named our charming harbor. With an area population of nearly 70,000 and growing, the Gig Harbor area boasts a vibrant economy with inviting accommodations, interesting shopping, scrumptious dining, colorful cultural arts, playful recreation, and diverse professional and personal services.

Gig Harbor is easy to get to. We're just a quick 45-minute drive to Sea-Tac International Airport and an hour from downtown Seattle. For a more scenic trip to the Emerald City, take the ferry from one of several loading stops - all within an hour's drive of Gig Harbor on the peninsula. The bustling city of Tacoma is just a few minutes drive across the Tacoma Narrows Bridge, one of the longest suspension bridges in the world. And, as the gateway to the Olympic Peninsula, Gig Harbor is the perfect spot to plan your next trip to the rain forest, Victoria or any one of the wonderful communities between here and there.
