Gig Harbor, Washington is a great escape from the bustling streets and highways of the Seattle-Tacoma areas. And, a real escape starts with a quaint inn located on the scenic harbor.
Gig harbor is conveniently located just across the Tacoma narrows bridge from Tacoma. This historic fishing village is only an hour from Seattle and two and a half hours from Portland. In Gig Harbor, Washington, the best place to stay is right in the historic district. You can walk and learn the history of the village settled by Croatian fishing families by reading the storyboards along the way. You can shop the unique boutiques of Gig Harbor and stop for a tasting at a local distillery tasting room…
…Or rub elbows with the locals at the landmark Tides Tavern enjoying their Tides Tavern IPA. Order fish and chips or a full salmon dinner in their harbor side dining room. In warm weather get an outdoor table and enjoy the view of the harbor and Mt. Rainier…
