Gig Harbor, Washington, is a charming coastal town with a rich maritime history. One of the most iconic features of the harbor are the 17 net sheds that line its waterfront. Each net shed tells a unique story about the town’s fishing heritage.
In his video, “A tour of Gig Harbor’s Historic Netsheds,” Mark Anderson takes viewers on a journey through the history of these structures. He interviews local fishermen and historians to learn about the families who built the net sheds, the fishing traditions they represent, and the significant role they played in the community’s development.
From the Gillich net shed, built in 1932, to the more recent additions, each net shed offers a glimpse into Gig Harbor’s past. The video is a valuable resource for anyone interested in learning more about the town’s history and culture.
