Events in the Area A Week at the Capitol: Charlie as a Legislative Page This past week was a pretty memorable one for our family, especially for my son Charlie.

Events in the Area New Year, New Eats: What’s Coming to Gig Harbor One of the things I love about a new year is seeing what’s changing around town—especially when it comes to food and local businesses.

Events in the Area A Saturday Stroll, Local Shops, and a Proud Dad Moment in Gig Harbor Last Saturday, Downtown Gig Harbor hosted one of my favorite community events: Shop the Harbor. If you’ve never been, picture the most walkable, scenic street in town lined with small businesses—some you know well and others you’ve probably walked past a dozen times without ever stepping inside (guilty). You can buy a ticket for perks […]
Events in the Area Trick-or-Treating in the Rain: Halloween in Gig Harbor 🎃 Halloween in Gig Harbor is always one of those small-town events that just feels special. Every year, downtown closes off Harborview Drive so kids can safely trick-or-treat from business to business in the early afternoon. The sidewalks and streets are packed with families, costumes, and candy. It’s a great way for the community to come […]
