Boatyards and net sheds around the Gig Harbor waterfront
The Gig Harbor waterfront still works, with net sheds, marine repair yards and haul-outs operating between the restaurants along Harborview Drive. A yard rebuilding a dock or repainting a hull needs a unit on the Gig Harbor gravel apron rather than out on the float where no service truck can follow.
Space is desperately tight on the Gig Harbor waterfront and the alleys between sheds barely take a pickup. We measure the Gig Harbor approach before promising a delivery, and a smaller truck often solves what a flatbed cannot.
Plateau plats and commercial building in Gig Harbor
Above the harbor, Gig Harbor has been filling in along Borgen Boulevard with plats, medical buildings and retail pads on a scale the old town never saw. Those Gig Harbor sites take several standard units on rock road or pad gravel with handwashing beside the concrete crews.
Plateau ground in Gig Harbor is till that drains slowly, so a placement on raw grade is leaning by December. We keep Gig Harbor units on the rock and move them street by street as the framing advances.
Harbor festivals and waterfront events in Gig Harbor
The Gig Harbor summer calendar runs on maritime festivals, farmers markets and boat events that fill Skansie Brothers Park and the adjoining street. For a Gig Harbor closure we deliver before the barricades and collect once the vendors have packed out.
Wind and salt air mean Gig Harbor waterfront units get strapped or ballasted before the crew leaves. A two-day Gig Harbor event gets a service between days so the last afternoon is no worse than the first. Parking near the Gig Harbor waterfront disappears on a festival morning, so we set the row the evening before and note exactly where each unit stands for the service driver.
