I am considering, for the second time in my career, a move to Ketchkan, AK. Anyone ever been there or know anything about it?

I lived in Anchorage for 40 years - been to Ketchikan a couple of times. Lots of tall trees, rain foresty - in other words it rains alot! Keep in mind the only way to get there is by boat or plane - they have a good airport. Fishing and timber and tourism the main businesses. You can't drive there so you are landlocked. But there are lots of neat roads to explore. There's also a great Totem Pole park near there. Small town - not sure of the population. Type in the city name in Google and see what you get.

Good luck in your decision!

Thanks for the info. Mostly only able to find tourist info on Ketchikan. Not much else I've found. My wife and I are looking forward to the hunting and fishing!
