3313 Harborview Dr., Gig Harbor, WA 98323

This Gig Harbor landmark (built in 1910) is in the  historical waterfront area.  It is a blue building with orange trim and redish roof. There is a covered area, a park, dock, and restrooms. Inside is a collection of navel artifacts from boats and tools to floats and nets.   More information is here:   http://www.cityofgigharbor.net/gig-harbor-historic-netsheds/

Tacoma USk member, Feather, has made arrangements for us to be able to sketch inside the Netshed.  Meet there at 10am.  We'll sketch until 12:30 and then meet again to share sketches.  

Parking is free but most of the road is 2 hour parking on the street .  

[There is a  trolly  but it does not start running on Wed. until 11am. It runs along the waterfront and an option if you don't want to have to more your care every 2 hours. It's 50 cents or $1 for all day.  FREE for seniors and persons with disabilities with valid Regional Reduced Fare Permit.  Or use your Orca card.   The park & ride is on Kimble road]

There are some options for near by restaurants for lunch or bring a bag lunch if you prefer.
