Gig Harbor is a maritime city located on the Puget Sound in Washington state. The area was originally home to Native American tribes, particularly the Puyallup and Nisqually peoples, before European settlement began in the late 1800s. The city derives its name from a small boat called a "gig" that sought shelter in the harbor during a storm in 1840.
Known for its historic fishing village heritage, Gig Harbor developed as a Croatian and Scandinavian fishing community, with many families establishing commercial fishing operations. Today, the city maintains its maritime character while serving as a cultural hub for the Peninsula region. The downtown waterfront area features historic net sheds, which are remnants of the city's fishing industry past and are now protected as historically significant structures. The community actively preserves its heritage through various cultural institutions and events that celebrate both its maritime history and contemporary arts scene.
