The Venue

A Maritime-Inspired Space
Rooted in Heritage

Stowaway Labs is a community hub in Gig Harbor, nestled in the Maritime City's historic waterfront Finholm district. During business hours it's a space for entrepreneurs and creatives. On nights and weekends, we open for private events.

The space is warm, characterful, and flexible - exposed wood, natural light, and a layout that works as well for an intimate dinner party as it does for a 50-person corporate event.

FAQ

Common Questions

Where is Stowaway Labs located, and is there parking?
We're located at 8809 N Harborview Drive Suite 101, Gig Harbor, WA 98335 — in the heart of the historic Finholm waterfront district underneath the Devoted Kiss Cafe, directly on the water. Street parking is free. Walkable from several downtown restaurants
What is the maximum capacity?
Comfortable capacity is approximately 50+ guests seated. For cocktail-style or standing events the space can flex higher. If your guest list is larger, let us know.
Can we serve alcohol at our event?
Yes, with the appropriate permits. Washington State requires a banquet permit (Special Occasion License) for events where alcohol is served. We can walk you through the process, or handle it as part of our Tier 2 service. Client event insurance is required for events with alcohol.
What hours is the space available?
Private events are typically scheduled outside normal business hours — evenings and weekends are most popular. We can occasionally accommodate daytime bookings. Let us know your preferred time in the inquiry form and we'll confirm availability.
Is the space accessible?
Yes. Ground floor, step-free access, accessible restrooms. If you have specific accessibility needs, mention them in your inquiry.
What's included in setup and teardown?
Your booked hours include setup and teardown time — you're not paying for just "event time." Tier 1 clients handle their own setup and cleanup. For Tier 2 we handle everything. Either way, we agree on a clear timeline in advance.
How far in advance should I book?
4–6 weeks out for smaller events, 2–3 months for larger or full-service events. Reach out even if your date is sooner — we'll let you know what's possible.
