The Cushman Trail is Such a Jewel for This City

What I discovered after moving to Gig Harbor.

I was so happy to move to Gig Harbor and land the job as Manager of Harborview East Apartments. I had been admiring Gig Harbor from afar in Port Orchard and would long for the time to make it my home. What did I admire so much about this city? Well, just about everything.

First of all the mixture of modern with historical charm always was enjoyable. Also the way everything is so well taken care of and there are actually sidewalks! Now that is a plus! But besides all that, when we pulled up to the Harborview East Apartments, to my surprise I saw the trail right in front. I was elated. I had been following the progress of the Cushman Trail for years, ever since I heard of it. In fact, my husband and I would take our bikes down to Gig Harbor from Port Orchard and ride the trail. So to be literally right next to it is awesome.

When we walk the trail, we find so many interesting people to talk to. One man had come here all the way from Orting because he heard of it. It's gotten famous amongst visitors and locals alike. Trails were something the Kitsap Peninsula has needed for so long and hopefully Gig Harbor will set the trend!
