Washington’s Most Naturally Beautiful Town Will Enchant You In The Best Way Possible

Trying to decide on Washington's most beautiful town is like trying to choose a favorite child. Between stunners like Leavenworth, La Conner and Friday Harbor, just to name a few, it's impossible to name a true winner. But if you want a small city that has a little bit of everything - including an amazing waterfront - you can't go wrong with Gig Harbor.

Gig Harbor is located in Pierce County near Tacoma.

You can reach it by crossing the Tacoma Narrows Bridge.

The city borders the bay on Puget Sound which shares its name.

And what a beautiful harbor it is.

Mt. Rainier sits visible in the distance, as if keeping a protective eye on the area.

Gig Harbor is considered one of the gateways to the Olympic Peninsula, the most geographically diverse part of the state.

You can take a tour of the harbor on an authentic Italian gondola.

The Gig Harbor Gondola is amazing.

And during the summer, the Get Around Gig Harbor trolley will show you the sights.

The natural beauty that surrounds this little city is unreal.

How lucky are the 9,100 people who call it home?

Have you visited Gig Harbor? It definitely deserves a spot on your Ultimate Washington Bucket List.
