The City of Gig Harbor is a mid-sized municipal government serving the city in the Puget Sound region. It operates within the government administration sector, delivering public services through teamwork and respect for the community. Founded in 1888 and incorporated in 1946, the city sits on Gig Harbor Bay in Puget Sound, across the Narrows Bridge from Tacoma. It serves residents and local businesses with a stable suite of municipal functions. Recent developments include a September 2022 collaboration with the Puyallup Tribe to pursue the purchase of an 11.5-acre parcel just north of the Gig Harbor Wastewater Treatment Plant, reflecting cross-jurisdictional land-use planning. This partnership illustrates the city's engagement with regional partners to address community needs and opportunities.
