Greetings!
We're here for you with updates each Friday covering what's open, where to order from, local businesses to support and what to do while practicing social distancing.
If you have questions, we urge you to join the Mayor's live Q&A sessions, hosted on the
City of Gig Harbor Facebook page each Tuesday and Friday at 10:00 AM. You do not need a Facebook account to watch, but you will need one to comment or ask questions.

Benefits are available for self-employed workers
Unemployment benefits are now available Washingtonians who have lost work because of the COVID-19 crisis—including freelancers, independent contractors and other self-employed workers. The new federal CARES Act makes this possible.
If you’re a self-employed worker who’s lost income in this crisis (real estate agents, business owners, independent contractors, photographers, freelancers), you may now qualify for unemployment benefits. The amount of financial help varies. But if your application is approved, you will be paid at least the minimum weekly benefit amount, and if that amount is at least $1 per week, you will also receive an additional $600 weekly from March 29 to July 25.
These benefits are also available retroactively to the date of your lost work.

DEVELOPMENT
UPDATE

We have been receiving more calls than usual about work being done without permits. These calls are often about tree removal, grading and clearing.
Conducting work without a permit isn’t just illegal, it’s unsafe. If you are considering doing work to your home or business, please reach out to our community development staff to ask questions. Violators will be subject to civil penalties.
The Governor's phased reopening allows the construction industry to resume projects that were already in motion, provided certain restrictions are met. Contact the City Community Development Department with questions.
