Gig Harbor labels itself Washington’s Maritime City. Located on Puget Sound, the harbor is rich in maritime history as commercial fishing and boat building played a large role in the area’s growth. Visit the Harbor History Museum for 7,000 square feet of exhibits on the Gig Harbor Peninsula. Additional historic attractions include the Eddon Boat Building and the Historic Gig Harbor Netsheds. Gig Harbor’s downtown waterfront offers restaurants, galleries and shops. Events take place nearly every month of the year including the annual Gig Harbor Beer Fest in May, Summer Arts Festival in July and December tree lighting and boat parade.
