The Pros and Cons of Living in Gig Harbor Washington 

Come on back! We love it too :)

I would honestly move back in a heartbeat if I had the funds to do so! PNW will forever have my heart! 😊

I am planning on staying there on a yacht for my birthday in March 2023. Can you tell me what to expect? I would also like to plan on purchasing my first home there.

Thank you so much for the kind words, we have loved getting to know you and your family!

That is our favorite part 😁

It is, the amount of water will make you feel right at home... and from what I recall Maui gets plenty of rain;)

We'd love to be of help to you in that search! key2see.com

I moved from the Gig Harbor area (Fox Island) 5 years ago to the Big Island. I’d never move back! Can’t beat sun, sand, and surf! The realtors are misleading you on taxes…very high compared to other areas in Pierce v County.

That's awesome! We'd love to have you!

Its hard not to fall in love with it here! We are certainly head over heels!

We sure can! Check out out RU-vid video that goes a little bit further in depth on the local Ferry options! ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-STarkmWrO8Q.html

That's a great question! Check out our video centered around weather in Gig Harbor! ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-aZtWiN7RwP0.html In this video we discuss ways to alleviate the effects that winters can have on some people.

We have never looked at the statistics for drug charges in our area but the three of us have spent the majority of our lives living here and have never heard of or seen drug issues here at all. What did you see at the GH Police Department that alarmed you?

@@JenniferHawkins1821 Did you seriously delete my comment? Will you delete this one, too? 🫤

@@donutviper1 I don’t see a deleted comment, apologies. Let us know if we can answer more questions.

Couldn't agree more!

Thanks for reaching out! Gig Harbor has a wonderful hospital, St. Anthony's right in town - there are also a number of hospitals within a short drive north in Silverdale and Bremerton and quite a few east in Tacoma.

I am a nurse and moving there

You should visit the newly opened Original Pancake House on the top of Soundview, it’s great… and there’s a lot of seating!

@@JenniferHawkins1821 Been there like 5 times already. When they first opened you had a line out the door. Haha. Not bad now that it’s been open for a while and kids are back in school.

a ferry to Bellevue would be awesome! I still love to catch a good game in downtown Seattle though.

Our little town is having some growing pains aren't we. It's tough to keep a good thing a secret forever. Thanks for reaching out.

You must be the life of the party.

We couldn't agree more!

It's a gem & always will be. A very sacred gem at that!

We have not picked up on that sense at all! Sellers get very excited when they find out its a Californian Buyer because they are typically coming from a very strong real estate market and have the funds to put together great offers!

Yes, they don’t want Californicators in Washington.

@@hevanedges3715 zero diversity

@@davidcarlson3132 Have you lived there a long time? My Point was even though there are a lot of upper class white folk that live in the area they tend to be very friendly and accepting to those who may not be in the same social or ethnic circle. Also Tacoma being right next door is a very diverse city. Only way diversity changes in a area like GH are if more people of different ethnicities move there and surrounding small towns. Small town minds like to shut themselves into their own little world and not be as acceptable towards outsiders

Hi, my name is Zenobia and I am black. My mom and dad are as well. My parents purchased a house in 1997 in Wollachet Heights so that my siblings and I could have a better education. The neighbors greeted us and told us we were the 1st ever black family to move in and handed us. Home made pie. They were nice. I was the only black girl in my class from 3 grade until high school. I was only made fun of once in elementary school due to my skin tone and once in middlle school for my hair but overall I had a lot of friends and I was active in sports. I went on to go to college and had two kids and I am now signing paper work for my house in Gig Harbor tomorrow. I feel like it is safe and quant and I want my two children to have the same opportunities as me. Welcome to the neighborhood.

So my offer didn’t end up going through and we ended up buying a home in Belfair. Which I’m even more nervous about. But the housing was a great opportunity! So if y’all have any advice for there that would be amazing also

That's wonderful Zenobia... congratulations on your new home

ha! thanks so much. nope all three happily married ;)
