Called "the gateway to the Olympic Peninsula, Gig Harbor was once a small fishing village and today is a modern and sophisticated town on the Kitsap Peninsula. The town has strong Scandinavian and Croatian roots that even today largely influence its nautical lifestyle and fishing village vibe. Gig Harbor is a popular tourist destination and offers a wide range of shops, art galleries, boutiques, and lively waterfront restaurants. There are popular monthly art walks and live theater, numerous community events, and great farmers markets. The Harbor History Museum is a great place to learn about the area’s history, with fascinating exhibitions on the local heritage and maritime history. Tacoma Narrows Bridge consists of two suspension bridges over Puget Sound.
