Gig Harbor is in WA, kind of out in the sticks. If you look at a map of WA, it's just opposite Seattle, across from the body of water (Puget Sound) that separates the main rectangularish part of WA from the Olympic Penninsula. The Fantasy Faire at Gig Harbor is on somebody's ranch... . (I don't know what they have the rest of the year -- horses?)
