Gig Harbor is both the name of the bay on Puget Sound as well as the city on its shore in Pierce County, Washington. It is located along State Route 16 with Seattle being reachable within an hour. What is nicknamed as the Maritime City has been one of several cities and towns that claims to be a gateway to the Olympic Peninsula. Its close vicinity to state parks and city parks, as well as its historic waterfront including boutiques and fine dining, has made it into a popular tourist destination. As such, lively and eventful city life is a given with some event being on the agenda virtually every day of the week. A non-exhaustive list of these would include the Winterfest Arts & Crafts Show, the Harbor WildWatch salmon tour, the Senior Wellness & Nutrition Seminar, performances of the Paradise Theatre, the Gig Harbor Film Festival, the TideFest Fine Arts Fest, and the Holiday Coral Concert to mention but a few items from the event calendar of the city. You might as well settle down here to take it all in.
