Gig Harbor is a picturesque maritime town on Washington's Puget Sound, framed by the Olympic Mountains. The harborfront downtown has boutiques, galleries, and restaurants with sweeping water views. A slower-paced community with a strong local hospital, it appeals to nurses who want coastal beauty, small-town closeness, and easy access to Tacoma and Seattle.
