One of the Best Small Towns in America

Gig Harbor is a maritime city teeming with stunning shorelines, forested parks and a walkable downtown. Located on the western edge of the Puget Sound, it offers an ideal sylvan location for businesses looking to expand operations, reduce distribution costs and provide an attractive home base for employees. 

Named one of the Best Small Towns in America by Smithsonian Magazine in 2012, Gig Harbor boasts a scenic harbor setting – a vibrant hub of lively gourmet restaurants, local art galleries and watersport culture. Greater Gig Harbor extends from the Key Peninsula to Fox Island, providing employees a wide choice of family-friendly residential districts. . 

Housing in greater Gig Harbor offers attractive and diverse opportunities, from gated waterfront communities with luxury homes to affordable condominiums and apartments ranging in price point. The area is part of the Peninsula School District, one of the best in Washington State with eight elementary schools, four middle schools and three high schools. Students consistently score in the top 10 percent in the state, and nearly 80 percent of students go on to graduate and attend college or technical training.
