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.
