Located at 3211 Harborview Drive, Jerisich Dock is a 0.56 acre waterfront mini-park in the heart of downtown.  The dock provides transient moorage for boaters and features a seasonal pump-out station, water and power.  Jerisich Dock is located adjacent to Skansie Brother's Park.

Jerisich Dock is named for Samuel Jerisich, an early settler of Gig Harbor.  A County-managed "fishermans wharf" was once located in the footprint of Jerisich Dock.  The drive aboard pier was used by the local fishermen for loading and unloading of fishing nets and gear.

Mobile Pump Out


a NEW MAP now being tested shows the location of mobile pump outs in real time. Through a partnership with Pierce County, GPS trackers have been placed on three vessels operated by NW Mobile Pump out and Marine Environmental Services that serve Commencement Bay, Liberty Bay, Gig Harbor and other locations in South Puget Sound. Working with the Port of Lopez and Port of Friday Harbor, two additional trackers have been placed on mobile pump out vessels in the San Juan Islands
