Welcome Neighbors

Engage Gig Harbor is a group of residents intended to bring our Gig Harbor neighbors from all walks of life together so we can learn about and grow our community's involvement by engaging with each other and the city.

​

We hope you will participate – whether through supporting local elections, serving on a Commission/Board, tuning in to public meetings or providing valuable input to our elected officials.

​

Join us and keep up with local happenings with our newsletter.  To subscribe send us an email at EngageGigHarbor@gmaiI.com.

We Value:
  • Engaged citizens who are willing to work together to make our community better. â€‹

  • Representatives that promote civic dialogue and foster consensus building.​

  • Elected officials who understand our community’s culture, values, and priorities through effective listening.

  • Representatives who are willing to express their ideas and opinions openly in public meetings.

 

We Believe:
  • Robust conversations lead to greater community trust.

  • Every voice matters but many voices are better.

  • Voting is a responsibility that gives a voice to the community.

  • When candidates run unopposed it undermines the power of the vote. 

  • Barriers to public involvement are harmful to our community and need to be removed.
