I came across this recently and found it to be both very encouraging and exciting. 

Enjoy the read.

As a Tacoman the thought of being able to ride from Tacoma to Olympia or Tacoma to Seattle is novel... to be honest it is disappointing how challenging it is. I hope this comes to fruition.

That said, I regularly ride to Seattle and back using the ferry system and Vashon Island... though this does put me on the road with motorists.

Tyler, Kim et al in the PNW - my son and I are planning a trip to your area, flying into SeaTac June 24 and heading out to the ODT, with possible subsequent visits to Victoria BC and then San Juan Islands...I've been trying to put together a reasonable itinerary, and wonder if any locals would be willing/able to offer some input. The kid has expressed interest in a detour to Gig Harbor on Day 1, on the advice of a friend. 

Of course we are looking for bike friendly roads... We'll be camping along the way, returning to the Bay Area via Amtrak on July 7. Thanks in advance...sd

If you're looking to ride into Gig Harbor from Tacoma via bicycle it is very easy. In fact I did so yesterday. There is a bike path that goes from the narrows bridge on the Tacoma side into downtown Gig Harbor, essentially. 

If you're doing this all by bicycle I would highly recommend utilizing our vast ferry system in some form because it is very fun and scenic, and if you're very lucky you might see some orcas.
