How far of a drive from Gig Harbor, WA to Seattle? W/ Traffic?

Travel Tips
It usually takes about an hour to an hour and a half to get to Seattle during traffic.

With bridge work and other summer construction projects it can take much, much longer since there is road work going on in Gig Harbor/Tacoma (on the bridge), Tacoma (between 38th and the city center exits), Fife/Federal Way (just north of the Fife curve near Enchanted Parks), and Federal Way (320th). I'm sure there's more but I don't go north of Federal Way very often.

Edited to add:
There is no ferry service between Gig Harbor and Seattle. To take the ferry you'd have to go to Southworth or Bremerton, both of which take longer than driving around. It takes 15-20 minutes to get to Southworth and about 25-30 to get to Bremerton from Gig Harbor.

The Southworth ferry only boards a limited number of cars since it goes to Vashon Island before unloading at Fontleroy, which is SW Seattle.(there are a few direct crossings but not many). The crossing time is about 40 minutes. The Bremerton ferry unloads in downtown Seattle. The crossing time is about 60 minutes.

It only takes about 30 minutes to get to Downtown Seattle from the airport during normal (non rush hour) traffic. Source(s): I live in Western Washington and have been dealing with these projects for about a year now.
