Gig Harbor - A Flourishing Fishing Village


This is a fisherman unloading his fishing floats from a truck along the waterway at Gig Harbor. This little fishing village is just across the Narrows Bridge, west of Tacoma.

We decided that since the day was glorious and sunny, we would spend a part of the morning walking along the waterfront. I explored the harbor and watercraft and George jogged along the sidewalk. Seems like a lot of other people had the same idea, running, jogging, and strolling. They were very friendly, with smiles and greetings. People were visiting all the little shops and eateries.

I walked along some of the docks to get a few photos, and I'll share a few here. Most of the homes in Gig Harbor are very upscale, not like this older home and cabin near the bay.

I walked along the Marina - there are several - and found these boats harborside.
