Lately I’ve been working with more and more people who are moving back to Gig Harbor after having lived away for a few years.  What they’re saying is that they just missed the small town ambience of this waterfront community.  The free outdoor concerts and movies in the summer, the festivals and parades, the parks and walking trails – all the qualities that make life in Gig Harbor so special.

And that they want their kids to attend the highly-rated Gig Harbor schools and take advantage of the opportunities for sports, the arts, marine sports, etc.

Some left seeking a drier, sunnier climate only to return because they missed the year-round green trees and lawns.  Others left to be closer to family members, to take advantage of a job opportunity, or for various other personal reasons.

Our shopping and dining, medical facilities, parks, the arts, the history, the waterfront lifestyle, the incredible beauty of the Puget Sound and the Olympic and Cascade Mountain ranges, Mt. Rainier looming in the distance, the proximity to the great city of Seattle and all it has to offer – it’s tough to beat.  But it’s ultimately the sense of pride that encourages people to work together to keep Gig Harbor special that makes people decide that moving to Gig Harbor is a very good idea.
