WELCOME TO
GIG HARBORLocated just across the Tacoma Narrows Bridge from the
big cities to the east, Gig Harbor welcomes you to the many wonderfully diverse communities that make up the Kitsap Peninsula. Our smaller, friendly waterfront communities—Gig Harbor, Port Orchard, Bremerton, and beyond—have been dubbed Puget Sound’s “string of pearls,” with good reason.
Gig Harbor has been recognized many times on the
THEMARITIME
CITY
G I G H A R B O R C O M M U N I T Y P R O F I L E A N D R E L O C A T I O N G U I D E 9
national level for its quality of life and natural beauty. Pub-lications like Smithsonian Magazine, which ranked us in the top fi ve Best Small Towns in America, have described Gig Harbor as “still very much a fishing village” and “a little like Maine without the Yankees.”
Our city’s history is centered on the fi shermen, loggers, and boat builders who pioneered the area back in the early days of settlement. That once sleepy community has given way to a newly refi ned region that has become one of the most sought after places to live and do busi-ness in all of Puget Sound. Indeed, residents enjoy the best of all worlds—the feeling of small-town America while living only a short distance from the major cities on the other side of the Sound.
Gig Harbor’s ideal location is less than 45 minutes from Sea-Tac International Airport and one hour from Seat-tle. With the addition of a second access bridge in 2007,
commuters and visitors alike fi nd the short drive across the Narrows to be both scenic and transformative.
This vibrant, growing community offers the perfect combination of a quiet lifestyle and convenient services and amenities such as world-class recreation, complete medical services, top quality schools, great retirement communities, and easy water access. If you’re looking for the perfect place to live or do business, this may be your nirvana.
Quality of life remains the main reason locals give for choosing to live here. Whatever brings you to Gig Har-bor, you will fi nd this to be a place of unparalleled natural beauty filled with people who care passionately about their community. Once you’ve seen what Gig Harbor has to offer, you, too, just may decide to stay.
The Gig Harbor Chamber of Commerce welcomes you to Gig Harbor. ■

Gig Harbor has always inspired dreams of waterfront living. However, many exciting typesof properties exist here, from country acreageand horse properties to carefree condo-styleand country club living.
NEIGHBORHOODS
Gig Harbor’s housing market is defi-nitely trending upward and has options to meet a wide range of wants and needs. Gig Harbor North and Harbor Hill are expe-riencing tremendous growth as you’ll see if you drive along Borgen Boulevard from State Route 16 east to Peacock Hill Avenue. The city has widened the road and added another roundabout as new homes—both single- and multifamily—seem to sprout overnight.
One north-end subdivision—The Ridge at Gig Harbor—is nearly built out, with new homes from the mid-$200s. Close by is Harbor Crossing, a quiet neighbor-hood that includes a mix of townhomes, duplexes, and single-family homes. These neighborhoods, along with the other new developments along Borgen, are high on
the walk-ability scale with close prox-imity to the Tom Taylor Family YMCA, Costco, and The Home Depot. In addition to the new housing, land is being prepared for a new park with four soccer fi elds and Heron’s Key, Gig Harbor’s newest retire-ment community.
The downtown waterfront area, which

features a blend of boutiques and small shops with charming older homes, is another highly desirable area because of the bay and moun-tain views as well as close proximity to restaurants, city parks, art galler-ies, boat moorage, and more.
If you want more gardening space or buildable land on which to erect a custom home, many viable options are available. A drive around the peninsula or a visit to a local real estate professional will help you fi nd just the right spot: south facing and sunny, enchanting water views, or a secluded site in the forest. And when the time comes to build or remodel, some of the region’s best design pro-fessionals, registered contractors, and architects are located right here in Gig Harbor.

in many established subdivisions and gated communities. They run the gamut, from apartments and condo-miniums to luxury homes and water-front living with amenities such as clubhouses, basketball and pickleball courts, and playgrounds for the little ones. Canterwood, for example, is one of Gig Harbor’s most venerable gated communities and has an 18-hole golf course, outdoor pool, and tennis courts at the private Canter-wood Golf & Country Club.
Property values remain relatively stable here and, in some cases, are on the rise, as opposed to the rest of Pierce County. New construc-tion and new housing starts—tra-ditionally an indicator of economic

A variety of rental properties—apartment complexes and single- and multifamily properties in different price ranges—are available as well. Even retirees and seniors, who may or may not have limited income, will fi nd a range of housing possibilities, from assisted living to active communities for those 55 and older. And Fox Island to the south and Key Peninsula to the north and west present even more lifestyle choices and price ranges, complementing what Gig Harbor proper has to offer. ■

HEALTH CARE
As the Affordable Care Act takes effect this year, be assured that Gig Harbor is prepared to meet the health care needs of the community.
FRANCISCAN HEALTH SYSTEM
The addition of a hospital to the Gig Harbor community has dramatically improved health care on the peninsula, especially the medical emergency expe-rience. Visitors to St. Anthony Hospital, and its wide range of on-campus medical offices, have access to 24/7 emergency services, sophisticated inpatient and day surgery facilities, complete outpatient cancer care, heart and vascular care, and more.
The hospital’s amenities include spa-cious private rooms that comfortably accommodate overnight visitors, a healing
garden that provides a peaceful outdoor escape, and an array of stunning original artwork both inside and out. The atmo-sphere of this award-winning hospital is far from the traditional medical setting, instead, welcoming patients and visitors with a quiet and caring experience.

Gig Harbor’s reputation as one of Puget Sound’s scenic gems, with friendly people and historic charm, has been well documented in recent years in print and online by Sunset and Coastal Living magazines, among others.
ECONOMICDEVELOPMENT
It comes as no surprise then that busi-nesses big and small have caught the “Gig Harbor fever” and are steadily relocating to the area. While the downtown’s unique character has been maintained thanks to strong community involvement, other areas of the peninsula have seen man-aged growth in order to provide top-quality amenities to new residents and businesses alike.
The Downtown Waterfront Alliance advocates for economic vitality in the downtown commercial district while working to maintain the historic charm that draws people and businesses to the area. The alliance has been a nationally certifi ed Main Street Program since 2011 (gigharborwaterfront.org/main-street-approach).
During the summer of 2013, the alli-
ance participated in the University of Washington Department of Architecture’s Storefront Studio Project. Ten seniors and graduate students set up shop in down-town Gig Harbor, studying the physical environment, taking anecdotal input from both public and private stakeholders in

Tacoma Narrows Airport is a convenient, accessible transportation hub for the entire region. Pierce County, in partnership with PenMet Parks, bought the airport from the city of Tacoma in 2008; it is used primarily for small-business jet travel and general aviation.
The airport services approximately 52,000 small-jet takeoffs and landings per year, offering jet fuel and oil; aircraft storage, parking, and tie-downs; hangars for lease; and a new restaurant. The Hub at Gig Harbor is the second Hub location, patterned after a successful brewpub and pizza restaurant in Tacoma’s Stadium District. With outdoor seating and a family atmosphere, The Hub is the only restaurant in the vicinity and is a popular place to watch the varied aircraft come and go.
A newly formed citizen nonprofi t, Friends of the Tacoma Narrows Airport, is working to develop an airport observation area where people of all ages will be able to watch takeoffs and landings, listen to tower communications, and, perhaps, enjoy a picnic.
The airport also serves as a place to host community events such as Tacoma Freedom Fair’s Wings & Wheels, which features airplane fl y-bys, rides, and a car and hot rod show. It also serves as a central hub for the Gig Harbor Basket Brigade, which provides supplies for holiday meals to nearly 500 local families. The Tacoma City Marathon also stages and starts at the airport.
At least a dozen businesses operate at Tacoma Narrows Airport, and a new master plan is now underway. The last master plan was completed in 2003 when the airport was still owned by the city of Tacoma. Proposed future developments will be evaluated from an aviation and community perspective.
improve traffi c fl ow to and from the east side of the harbor and to restore Donkey Creek’s connection to the natural salmon run. In the Gig Harbor North area, important infrastructure projects to widen roads, add round-abouts, and complete connections to the harbor/downtown area sup-port burgeoning growth there.
Gig Harbor’s stable political envi-ronment and business-friendly elected officials ensure that con-tinued, healthy growth is managed in a collaborative way. The Gig Har-bor Chamber of Commerce contin-ues to advocate—with the city and with the community at large—for businesses that provide jobs and other resources, enabling a quality of life that many other cities in the region look to as a model of balanced growth and environmental health. ■

The downtown Waterfront Districtis a real magnet for tourists; however, residents also love to walk the harbor and frequent the many and varied dining, rec-reational, and cultural opportunities here. Skansie Brothers Park is a nice place to sit and watch the boat traffi c—from kayaks to 100-foot yachts and commercial fi sh-ing vessels—and is connected to the city’s public boat dock where visiting boaters can stay for free. Boaters and RVers can fi nd everything from kayak accessories to shampoo and ice at Ship to Shore Marine Supply, and for serious maintenance, Gig Harbor Marina & Boatyard provides com-plete haul-out and repair services.
When you’re in the mood to wander the area encompassing Harborview Drive and lower Pioneer Way, you’ll fi nd everything from a brewpub, gadgets for bird lovers,
fl y fi shing needs, and holistic pet food to fine jewelry, cupcakes and candies, and artistic inspiration at a glass blowing stu-dio. You’ll also fi nd many excellent eater-ies ranging from fi ne, waterfront dining to casual diners.

The Finholm District, on the north end of the harbor, offers the beautiful Harbor History Museum, which is worth a daytrip of its own to learn all about the area’s mari-time heritage. Daily boat tours and charters; fi ne seafood dining with a view of the harbor; JW, voted Best of South Sound Magazine; shops that feature vintage and coastal décor; and more eateries line North Har-borview drive.

Pierce Transit’s Get Around Gig Harbor! PT Trolley project, which had its inaugural, trial run during the summer of 2013 was, by all measures, a great success. So successful, in fact, that it will be reinstated this sum-mer. The highly visible, red trolleys will roll through streets and byways again during the summer months, contributing to around-town mobility and tying together the various business districts.
The Gig Harbor Chamber of Commerce Economic Development Com-mittee was the catalyst to get this project rolling. They partnered with the city of Gig Harbor, Uptown, the Downtown Waterfront Alliance, and Pierce Transit—creating the so-called Community Investment Team—to help plan and subsidize the project. The enthusiastic response by Gig Harbor residents and visitors showed that this type of limited public transporta-tion works here and may be feasible in other communities as well.
Final ridership numbers for the Route 101 PT Trolley from July 9 to Sep-tember 28 show that the average number of weekly riders was 2,376. Total boardings during that same time equaled 28,514, which was con-sistently above the project’s target ridership. In 2012, during the same time period and on the same route with regular PT buses, daily ridership was about 160 riders per day or 1,120 per week. Overall, the fi nal numbers showed that ridership for the project’s duration were double last year’s numbers.
parks, health care practices, athletic schools, and a few retail establish-ments. The airport is a busy hub for corporate jets and general aviation, which includes a new restaurant, and companies that offer fl ight instruc-tion, scenic flights, maintenance, corporate jet rentals, and more.
Gig Harbor North is a growing commercial district that provides one-stop shopping. Major retailers include Target, Home Depot, Costco, Budget Blinds, and Walgreens, which are mingled in with an Albertson’s grocery store and casual restaurants when you’re in the mood for a quick sandwich, pizza with friends, or frozen yogurt after a workout. This shopping area covers needs rang-ing from clothing, footwear, and pet supplies to home improvement and housewares.
You’ll also find several new resi-dential developments in Gig Harbor North along with the state-of-the-art Tom Taylor Family YMCA facility, which provides recreational oppor-tunities for all ages. ■

In partnership with families, businesses, and the community, the Peninsula School District (PSD) provides a learning-focused environment in which every student has the opportunity to acquire the knowledge, skills, and character to become a produc-tive citizen in a rapidly changing world.
The district is known for its high qual-ity of schools and teachers. More than 71 percent of the district’s teachers have master’s degrees, nine have doctorate degrees., and 69 teachers have National Board certifi cation, the highest achieve-ment for teachers.
Local students consistently score higher than average on state standard-ized tests as well as SAT reading and math tests. PSD pioneered an all-day, four-day kindergarten program and continues to be innovative in its use of technology, offer-
ing students state-of-the-art, hands-on classroom experiences. A full-time, fully accredited online academy is among the options for high school students.
Peninsula and Gig Harbor high schools and Goodman and Key Peninsula middle schools were selected through a rig-

orous application process to be SpringBoard National Demonstra-tion Schools in language arts for the 2012-14 school years. These schools were selected because they exemplify many powerful methods deemed successful in the imple-mentation of instructional materials and practices. The rigor established by PSD teachers in this program for special education students was of particular note in the award letter.
All four schools will host visits from many other schools across the country to share the excellent work
that teachers and administrators are doing to ensure success in language arts for all students.
PSD offers a variety of Advanced Placement (AP) courses in all core subjects. The secondary curriculum is enhanced with a complete range of athletic programs and fine arts options. And, extracurricular pro-grams challenge and reward stu-dents in terms of further intellectual and leadership development.
Several private schools serve the area as well, including Christian, Catholic, and Montessori. They

Local families who opt for home school-ing may select their own curriculum or follow a public-school curriculum and receive support from the Penin-sula School District.
Tacoma Community College (TCC) is located mainly in Tacoma, which is a short drive across the Narrows Bridge to the east. However, students can avoid bridge tolls and earn an associate’s transfer degree at TCC’s Gig Harbor campus. In addition, high school juniors and seniors can take college-level courses through TCC’s Running Start program, acquiring double credit toward high school and general university requirements. Students can also receive terminal degrees in various technical and vocational skills, including a Medical Offi ce Professional degree.
TCC constantly evolves to serve the educational needs of the area. Numerous personal enrichment courses are designed to meet our residents’ lifelong passion for learning, from Drawing for the Non-Artist to computer skills and Speed Spanish. In partnership with the Aging Smart Network, a group of Gig Harbor professionals who believe in educating people to make smart, proactive decisions as they age, TCC Gig Harbor offers a variety of low-cost workshops on topics including caregiving; making good financial, legal, and insurance decisions; and fi nding the best living community for
yourself or your loved ones as you age.
Other options for a postsecond-ary education close to home include Bates Technical College, Clover Park Technical College, Pierce College, University of Puget Sound, Pacific Lutheran University, and the Univer-sity of Washington Tacoma, a model urban-serving university. All of these
fine schools offer accredited pro-grams in a wide variety of advanced curricula, are within a 30-minute commute, and enhance the region’s business, social, and cultural climate.
It shouldn’t come as a surprise, therefore, that Gig Harbor’s strong educational options are a major fac-tor in attracting new residents and businesses to the area. ■

Gig Harbor is a vibrant community where on any given day you can choose from a plethora of activities, from a visit to the beach, harbor, or historical museum to a class at the senior center, community college, or glassblowing studio.
THINGS TO DO
Personal enrichment comes in all forms on the Gig Harbor Peninsula. For instance, dog lovers will be happy to know that there’s a new place to take Fido and let him romp around off leash. Rotary Bark Park is the first of its kind in unincorporated Pierce County. The 15-acre area includes more than a mile of fenced trails so you and your dog can enjoy the outdoors together without the tether. A second off-leash area in a park near the Tacoma Nar-rows Bridge is on the drawing board with plans to open in early 2014.
History lovers can take a stroll into the past at the Harbor History Museum, which sits at the water’s edge downtown and pays homage to the area’s maritime heritage. Hands-on exhibits convey what it was like for Gig Harbor’s earliest resi-dents, who established thriving logging,
fi shing, and shipbuilding industries. Before the immigrants arrived, a band of the Puy-allup Tribe populated the harbor. You can see various artifacts and even learn their language at an interactive audio station.
The museum is also home to the origi-nal 1893 Midway School, which serves as

Gig Harbor is well known for its highly active arts community; Sun-set magazine named Gig Harbor’s monthly art walk one of the five best in the Northwest. A number of galler-ies line the downtown area featuring local and nationally known artists.

Connie’s Clock is another new and important landmark located at the Bogue Viewing Platform on North Harborview Drive. Conrad Schick was a vital member of the business community and one of the founders of the Gig Harbor Chamber of Com-merce. He was well known in Gig Harbor as a business owner and vol-unteer. He died in 2010, and the Gig Harbor Morning Rotary donated the permanent memorial with a plaque in memory of Connie.

The Maritime Gig Festival is the biggest party of the year, just ask anyone who lives here. For 15 years the Gig Harbor Chamber of Commerce has worked hard to ensure that the community continues to enjoy the many events that comprise this harbinger of summer.
The weekend kicks off on Saturday morning with a pancake breakfast and the rollicking Pirates of the Peninsula Yo Ho Harbor Grand Parade along Harborview Drive, which brings thousands of people into the downtown waterfront area as both participants and spectators.
Bring sunscreen and a hat; there’s so much to see and do you’ll want to stay all day both days. There’s a family Fun Run and a Children’s Fair, which features live entertainment and many fun hands-on activities—everything from live sea creature “touch” tanks to creative art projects and interactive skits. And kids of all ages love to explore the watercraft at the Antique and Classic Yacht Festival and, new last year, cool cars at the Wheels on the Water Car Show.
Live music at Skansie Brothers Park is one of the festival’s biggest draws. The Shy Boys is a perennial favorite, a group that covers diverse perform-ers from The Monkees to Johnny Cash, and local dance and musical groups make appearances, too.
The entire event comes to a close on Sunday afternoon with the tradi-tional Blessing of the Fleet, featuring a procession from St. Nicholas Catho-lic Church to the harbor, where the local fi shing fl eet receives a blessing that marks the beginning of its working season.
shows fi rst-run movies for the whole family and is home to the Gig Harbor Film Festival, now in its seventh year. The festival focuses on independent films that promote understanding, tolerance, and global awareness. Actress Lindsay Wagner, perhaps best known for her Emmy-winning portrayal of Jamie Sommers in the 1970s television series The Bionic Woman, appeared in 2013 to accept the Pay It Forward award for her long-standing dedication to and pro-motion of the fi lm industry.
There are so many festivals throughout the year, you’ll always be able to find a reason to get out of the house for a fun family outing. Music in the park, a farmers market, and outdoor family movies round out summer activities; however, holi-days throughout the year are also cause for community celebration. Downtown trick or treating, Christ-mas tree lighting and Santa visits, and Easter egg hunts are traditional Gig Harbor events. ■

Gig Harbor, a historic fi shing and logging town and mile-long scenic bay with easy access to Puget Sound, is a mecca for boating and water-sports enthusiasts.
RECREATION
Many people live here for the opportuni-ties afforded by the peninsula’s protected harbors and bays, safe havens for sailing, kayaking, and paddle boarding. Water sports are not the only recreational activi-ties available here, however. Whether your passion is hiking, biking, fi shing, boating, or golfi ng, you’ll fi nd it in Gig Harbor.
Numerous marinas line the harbor. Most provide private moorage; however, Ara-bella’s Landing offers transient moorage and a pump-out station. Two city docks—Jerisich Dock and Maritime Pier—are both free for limited stays. Jerisich Dock is centrally located next to Skansie Broth-ers Park and has a pump-out station. Both are close to restaurants, shops, and gal-leries in the waterfront area. The city has recently acquired additional prime water-front property and is considering the pos-
sibility of building a human-powered facil-ity: a low dock for kayakers, canoers, and paddle boarders, and a secure, equipment storage facility.
PenMet Parks is the offi cial recreational district covering the Gig Harbor Peninsula (excluding the city of Gig Harbor). Key Pen

Parks serves the Key Peninsula. Both park districts—along with the city of Gig Harbor—provide a variety of rec-reational opportunities with classes, camps, and sports leagues as well as many public events throughout the year.
Gig Harborites love to walk, whether it’s a brisk tour of the historic waterfront with their four-legged friend in tow, or along the Cushman
Powerline Trail, where motorized vehicles are not allowed. In addition, miles of forest trails in more than 3,000 acres of public parkland pro-vide plenty of space to refresh and restore your body and mind in the beauty of nature.
Sehmel Homestead Park is the gem of PenMet’s properties. The 98-acre site includes forestlands, meadows, and wetlands as well as
baseball, softball, and soccer fi elds; picnic areas; and a playground for children of all abilities. The park also has a pavilion for rental events and an amphitheater where PenMet Theater presents summertime family plays such as the enchanting Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs.
When the weather turns cold and rainy, there are many indoor gyms and recreational facilities; no need to

Peninsula Athletic Association and other recreational leagues provide team play for all ages in a variety of sports, from baseball and softball to soccer and eight-man tackle football (for adults only).

GIG HARBOR RACE TEAM PADDLES TO SUCCESS
Kayaks, paddleboards, and boats of all sizes ply the waters of the harbor year-round. In fact, the Gig Harbor Canoe and Kayak Race Team is based here, and team members can be seen practicing in the harbor nearly every day of the year. The team comprises young pad-dlers ages 9 to 18 who want to learn the sport of Olympic canoeing and kayaking.
Gig Harbor’s kayakers were national champions in Oklahoma City in 2013 and in Seattle in 2012, and several young Gig Harbor athletes have represented the United States at the Junior World Championship level. Three team members, who have been with the team since they were 12 years old, are now training at the Olympic train-ing facility in Oklahoma City; watch for one of these local athletes to represent their community and country in the 2016 Summer Olympic games in Rio de Janeiro.
Whether they move on to Olympic level competition or not, Gig Harbor youths are fortunate to be coached by the best in the country. Head coach Alan Anderson has been voted USA Canoe/Kayak Coach of the Year for the last two years.

Gig Harbor has a thriving retiree population due to many and varied housing options and plenty of activities to keep you busy year-round.
RETIREMENT
However, if you get tired of the relative peace and quiet here, the bright lights and quickened pace of Seattle and Tacoma or the unsurpassed beauty of coastal com-munities and mountainous national parks, make for the perfect day trip—or even longer, now that you have the time.
There are more than a dozen safe, affordable facilities for seniors to call home when they want a more carefree lifestyle, and the offerings continue to grow every year. Heron’s Key, Emerald Communities’ newest retirement option, will begin tak-ing shape this year, with plans to open its full facility in late 2016. Heron’s Key will offer a full continuum of care, assurance that residents will never be asked to leave because of fi nancial hardship, and lifetime access to on-site health care, including assisted living, skilled nursing, and mem-
ory care as needed.Heron Key’s information center is
located at 4201 Harborview Drive, in Gig Harbor, where you’ll find a 900-square-foot mockup of a typical residence dem-onstrating the quality of the fi nishes that will be used in the apartment- and duplex-

hospital to home?� Does the facility have experience treating your condition?� What is the facility’s track record for treating patients with your condition?� Are the nurses knowledgeable in caring for patients like you?� Does the center have post-acute level therapists and equipment?� Does the center have systems in place to reduce unnecessary re-hospitalization?

Indeed, active retirees can fully enjoy their free time thanks to a variety of venues to learn new skills, take up a new hobby, and make new friends. The Active Retirement & Senior Club of Gig Harbor, located in the Jim & Carolyn Milgard Family HOPE Center, is a membership-based organization where you can join old friends, or make new ones, over cof-fee, lunch, or a monthly potluck. The club offers a full slate of recreational and cultural activities— from wood-carving and Tai chi to card games and bingo.
Many Gig Harbor seniors enjoy the active, all-ages environment at the Tom Taylor Family YMCA. Meet friends for a latte, take a walk indoors, make waves in a Silver Splash water aerobics class, or volunteer and become part of a fun, dynamic com-munity of fitness-minded folks. Resi-dential retirement facilities also have their own full calendar of activities that include field trips, clubs, bean-bag baseball leagues, and live enter-tainment.
If you’re excited about the oppor-tunity to learn something new, consider taking a class—acting, painting, yoga, or a new language—through a collaborative adult pro-gram offered by PenMet Parks and Tacoma Community College. You’ve probably got more time to spend on the golf course; local leagues always welcome new players. And whether you’re new to Gig Harbor or just new
