THE MARITIME CITY

Gig Harbor is nestled right outside Tacoma, Washington, on a peninsula that serves at the gateway to the Olympic Peninsula. Named because it served as an early shelter for boats, Gig's Harbor is a mecca for tourists and residents alike who want to escape city-living but be close enough to Tacoma to commute. With shopping, dining, and recreation on every block in the historic downtown area, Gig Harbor is continually voted one of the best places to live in Washington.

BENEFITS OF LIVING IN GIG HARBOR

Easy Access to Big Cities

Many people love to be able to visit big cities. First, they offer sights and amenities that small towns don't. For example, concerts happen in larger cities where there are a lot of people. Traveling art shows come to big cities, and big cities tend to have any activity and hobby you are passionate about. Yet, these people don't want to live in big cities with traffic and so many people at every turn. Gig Harbor is only 20 minutes from Tacoma and less than one hour from Seattle. This safe, family-friendly location is ideal for those looking for the best of both worlds, and if you follow the Aro, we'll help you find your dream home. Call our real estate office today!

Near National Forests and State Parks

There's something about being alone in a forest full of trees that makes you realize just how big the world actually is and how small you actually are. Being on Puget Sound, the Olympic Peninsula is a stone's throw away. You can visit Olympic National Forest and Park and spend hours exploring the mountains, the lush rainforests, and the rugged Pacific coastline. At almost one million acres, you could spend years exploring here. Go east and Mt. Rainier National Park is almost as close. Whether you are a mountain climber or you just like hikes into the forest, Mt. Rainier National Park will easily take your breath away. With mountain wildflowers and ancient glaciers, you'll be taken back to the land before time — and time for you will most definitely stop.

If you just want to stay close to home, Gig Harbor offers many hikes and trails for you to explore. McCormick Forest Park Loop is an easy trail that makes for a great morning walk, and Cushman Trail is a paved walking and bike trail that hugs the coast, giving you great views of the harbor. Kopachuck State Park is a recreational area only six miles away from Gig Harbor, making it a close place to explore.
