Things for renting

Shopping in Gig Harbor, WA

Gig Harbor has a small shopping district concentrated around the waterfront. Here, renters will find a great selection of local boutiques selling clothing, home goods and more. There are also some small local grocers in the waterfront area. However, most local renters travel out of the downtown area to get their essentials. Specifically, Gig Harbor has a larger shopping center south of downtown called Harbor Plaza. This development includes shops like Loft, HomeGoods and Marshall’s, as well as grocery stores like Safeway and Fred Meyer. And, although there isn’t a mall in Gig Harbor, renters can drive just 20 minutes to the Tacoma Mall for a better selection of clothing chains.

Transportation in Gig Harbor, WA

Because Gig Harbor is quite spread out, most local renters opt to drive, which is the fastest way to get around town and explore the rest of the Olympic Peninsula. As such, most apartments and businesses in Gig Harbor have ample parking. Granted, some parts of the waterfront area are walkable, but renters still need a car to get to the grocery store and other key destinations. Alternatively, Pierce Transit runs a bus route from Tacoma to Gig Harbor. Then, once in Tacoma, renters can connect to a variety of other transit options, including local and regional buses; light rail; commuter rail; streetcars; and more. However, this bus only runs once per hour, which means it isn’t a viable alternative to driving for most renters.
