Gig Harbor faces many challenges due to general growth in the Pacific Northwest and
because the Harbor is particularly pretty.Most residents endeavor to preserve the balance of the delicate eco-system, and the
quality of life unique to small town America. A long and bitter battle finally convinced
Wal*Mart not to build a huge store here. But most developers continue to ignore the
transportation, education and water issues that threaten our community.
We have two organizations here, the
Peninsula Neighborhood Association (PNA) and the
Peninsula Heritage Land Trust that do
their best to help.
