Pinterest Has Gig Harbor Pinned

Tacking up your favorite pictures, magazine cutouts and souvenirs on a pin board used to be a teenage pastime. Now, everyone seems to be doing it — virtually, at least. 

The latest Internet sensation, Pinterest, allows users to create virtual pin boards and "pin" all the most inspiring, memorable and interesting pictures they find while surfing the web. The point? Pinners use Pinterest for a variety of reasons, including wedding planning, finding new recipes and collecting memories.

A quick search on the website for "Gig Harbor, WA," reveals that Pinterest also has a collection of images from the town — capturing beautiful scenery and community moments.

People are pinning Gig Harbor on pinboards titled "Places I Have Traveled," "Vacation Plans," "Favorite Places & Spaces," "Real Estate" and more.

So, go ahead. Take a virtual tour of Gig Harbor by exploring the Pinterest boards. In the meantime, check out Patch's Pinterest page, too!
