Company Overview
Gig Harbor - The Maritime City
Gig Harbor is one of several cities and towns that claim to be "the gateway to the Olympic Peninsula". It is located on Gig Harbor Bay in Puget Sound across the Narrows Bridge from Tacoma. Due to its close access to several state and city parks, and historic waterfront that includes boutiques and fine dining, it has become a popular tourist destination.
Company History
Incorporated in 1946, Gig Harbor is one of the most picturesque small cities in America. The city was named by members of the Wilkes Expedition who, in 1840, entered the harbor in a longboat called a "captain's gig". These three fisherman rowed from British Columbia to Gig Harbor and decided to stay.
