The Fox Island Cemetery is located at 797 6th Ave, Fox Island, WA. Many war veterans are buried there, as well as Fox Island's early pioneers, and Washington's Governor Dixy Lee Ray. Burials from private lands and a small cemetery in Sylvan were moved to the current 2 acre site in 1910. In 1911, the cemetery site was donated to the Cemetery Association by Mr. A. Hunter. Today, the cemetery is home to 542 graves, with 143 belonging to veterans. Boy Scouts from Fox Island's Boy Scout Troop 27 and Cub Scout Pack 27 perform the Memorial Day flag ceremony honoring our Fox Island veterans each year, and the Cub Scouts lay a memorial wreath at the base of the Centennial Memorial Monument, containing a time capsule, and a listing of the names of wars, including the Indian Wars, Revolutionary Wars, War of 1812, Mexican War, Civil War, Spanish American War, World War I, World War II, Korean War and the Vietnam War. A reading of the names of Fox Island's veterans, dating back to the civil war, follows the raising of the flag. The Peninsula Gateway ran a great article about this ceremony on its website in 2017.

The diminutive Gig Harbor Lighthouse, displaying a red flashing light, was built in 1988 at the entrance to Gig Harbor. To raise funds for the project, the public was invited to purchase time capsules, which would be placed in the lighthouse and then opened after twenty-five years. The purchasers were encouraged to place such items as photographs, predictions, newspaper articles, and wine in their capsules and were allowed to designate to whom the contents should be given upon opening. The tower stands fifteen feet tall and has an open lantern room. A dedication ceremony for the lighthouse was held in April 1989 in conjunction with the local Maritime Week and as part of the State of Washington Centennial and the Bicentennial of the U.S. Lighthouse Service. The lighthouse replaced a minor aid to navigation that formerly occupied the site. Stevenson Sparks designed the lighthouse, which cost $30,000 in addition to a considerable amount of donated labor and equipment. Wade Perrow Construction and Lone Star Concrete built the tower, and Manson Construction Company ferried the lighthouse to the point and lowered it onto the selected site for free. Click here to view a 1988 news report on the lighthouse. As part of the twenty-fifth anniversary of the lighthouse, the time capsules were retrieved from the tower, returned to their owners, and then displayed at a park in Gig Harbor on April 26, 2014. A new round of time capsules to be opened in another twenty-five years were sold to the public. Four different sizes of time capsules were available ranging from an eighteen-inch-long PVC pipe with a diameter of four inches for $100 to an eighteen-inch-long PVC pipe with a diameter of ten inches for $1,000. The capsules had to be returned on June 28, 2014 and were placed in the lighthouse later that summer. The Howard Coble Coast Guard and Marine Transportation Act of 2014, which passed Congress on December 11 of that year, included a provision transferring ownership of the property surrounding the lighthouse to the city. The City of Gig Harbor would eventually like to have a park on the sand spit on which the lighthouse stands. Due to surrounding private property, the park would be a marine park accessible only from the water. A ceremony was held at the lighthouse on June 6, 2015 to celebrate the transfer of the spit to the city.

The Harbor History Museum is a regional maritime and history museum in Gig Harbor, Washington.

Food scene

Zogs on Fox Island. Awesome local hidden gem and secret. Behind a sliding door is actually a pretty large beer garden with a great selection on tap as well as a good amount of wine options. Great prices. Huge outdoor area that is perfect in the summer. I am genuinely surprised that it is not busier than it is normally. May be too good of a secret! Stop on by this place for either something to eat or simply just for a drink. Even if the weather is not bad, there are plenty of places to sit, tvs, and a pool table. There is a covered deck out the back and a multi-tiered spot to enjoy your food or beverage. The reuben sandwich is awesome! So is the french dip! give this place a try.

On the Gig Harbor Waterfront The building that today houses the Tides Tavern was built by Axel Uddenberg in 1910 and served the area as a general store. Located next to the “Peoples’ Dock,” the town’s only public ferry landing, it was called the West Side Mercantile. From that time until the present it has had a series of owners and has been several businesses. Run down and in a state of disrepair, the building was bought by Peter Stanley in 1973. After an extensive renovation, the Tides opened its doors to the public on Saturday, June 2, 1973. The Tides has remained in the Stanley family for over 45 years and is now owned by Peter’s eldest son, Dylan. The Tides Tavern offers the greatest house-made food and the finest beverages in the western hemisphere, but only to persons over 21 years of age. Please be prepared to show I.D.

While this place doesn't offer the traditional breakfast menu, it does offer some of the best selections I've seen. You can get your basic eggs and bacon, but why when you could get an amazing parfait, or an avocado egg and bacon sandwich. Their potatoes are really good and come with most entrees. Very pleased and very full. Plus a great view! All sauces, soups, pastries and roasts are made from scratch in house.

You can get your basic eggs and bacon, but why when you could get an amazing parfait, or an avocado egg and bacon sandwich. Their potatoes are really good and come with most entrees. Very pleased and very full. Plus a great view! All sauces, soups, pastries and roasts are made from scratch in house.

This isn’t your typical burger shop. In a culture where advertising isn’t always what it seems and the pictures don’t always reflect what you get, in this case they really did get it right: These burgers are gourmet. The moment we took our first bite it was evident that these burgers are made with quality ingredients. The meat has a better texture and flavor and is accompanied by fresh ingredients like thick-cut crisp tomatoes and a variety of leafy greens. Other touches that stand out are the locally made hamburger buns baked fresh daily, aged Tillamook cheddar, quality gorgonzola and the thickest-cut bacon you’ve ever seen on a burger. The Gourmet Burger Shop was recently rated by the Tacoma News Tribune as having the best cheeseburger in Pierce County and they were one of the top two for best milkshake, fries and onion rings. The owner, Travis Hightower, worked as a chef at some private golf courses before opening his first burger shop in 2010, serving upscale burgers in a tiny hole-in-the-wall off a roadside on the Key Peninsula. He opened his doors with the expectation of flipping maybe 50 burgers a day but soon found himself flipping four times that amount. And if you’ve tried his burgers you’ll understand why.

About Tokyo Teriyaki Tokyo Teriyaki is a restaurant that offers generous servings of food at reasonable prices. A party of two can enjoy a big heap of edamame and yakisoba noodles, a large crunch roll, and vegetarian options such as veggie yakisoba. The chicken teriyaki, which costs around $21, is a huge order with around two pounds of chicken and two egg rolls. The staff is friendly, and they make sure not to overload customers with too much food. The salmon teriyaki bento is an expensive item, but it is worth the price with its large portions of tempura, California roll, gyoza, salad, and salmon over rice. The restaurant also offers Korean dishes, making it a great place to try out different Asian cuisines.
