A quick trip to major shopping and beautiful downtown Gig Harbor.

Few communities offer the high quality of living you’ll find in Gig Harbor Washington. This growing community offers modern amenities, but has managed to maintain its charming fishing village roots and scenic beach-front state parks.

Just minutes from Forest Village, historic downtown Gig Harbor wraps around the harbor waterfront. Hundreds of pleasure and fishing boats dot the waters, and on a clear day, views of Mt. Rainier dominate the sky. The city's commitment to a beautiful harbor for all provides active walking, docking, shopping and dining along the waterfront for all residents.

Beyond downtown, Gig Harbor offers richly wooded and scenic neighborhoods, golf courses, city and state parks, beaches, walking trails, athletic clubs, houses of worship, schools, movie theatres, and a growing list of current and future amenities.

On the north end of Gig Harbor, you'll find Canterwood Country Club and community, as well as Target, Home Depot, Pier 1 Imports, Albertsons, Starbucks, and a growing list of retailers.

We've just welcomed Costco, and a brand new YMCA, and soon St. Anthony's Hospital will be opened near Canterwood. In the major Gig Harbor shopping district, The Uptown features trendy boutiques and eateries plus a state-of-the-art movie theater.

And for those looking to continue their education, the Peninsula Library system has a branch located in Gig Harbor, as does Tacoma Community College.
