Raft Island invites you into a relaxed, saltwater lifestyle just across the bridge from Gig Harbor in Pierce County. Morning light paints Carr Inlet while evenings settle into quiet streets, beach strolls, and paddle-worthy coves. Residents prize the island’s intimate scale and easy access to the water—perfect for kayaking, crabbing, or simply watching bald eagles arc overhead.
Weekend adventures are close at hand. Launch a kayak at nearby Kopachuck State Park and glide to Cutts Island State Park, a pocket-sized marine gem with sandy shores and sweeping views of the Olympics. For dining, boutiques, and harborfront events, the Gig Harbor waterfront is minutes away, while the Tacoma Narrows Bridge connects you to larger-city amenities when needed.
Families appreciate strong public schools in the Peninsula School District, with many island households zoned to Kopachuck Middle School and Gig Harbor High School. Community programs, athletics, and arts opportunities round out a calendar that stays active year-round, yet the island itself retains a peaceful, close-knit feel.
Whether you’re drawn by sunrise paddles, a simpler pace, or proximity to excellent schools and parks, Raft Island blends coastal serenity with everyday convenience.
