Ketchikan, AK

Alaska’s First City, shaped by salmon, sea, and rainforest

Ketchikan is a colorful waterfront city shaped by the sea, salmon, rainforest, and the cultures of the Tlingit, Haida, and Tsimshian peoples. Historic Creek Street, working harbors, museums, galleries, and one of Alaska’s most remarkable collections of totem poles reveal layers of Indigenous heritage, fishing, timber, trade, and tourism.
