The mission of the Gig Harbor Downtown Waterfront Alliance is to bring together community and waterfront district stakeholders in order to encourage economic vitality and to preserve the historic character and quality of the area.

The Alliance was originally formed as the Gig Harbor Historic Waterfront Association in 2008. The four-point Main Street approach has been the foundation of the organization since its inception, and the Washington State Main Street Program awarded our program full Main Street designation in 2011. The Alliance has been a Nationally Certified Main Street Program since 2012.
