---

• Borough of Ketchikan Gateway Borough in Alaska

• Type: Town

• As Noted In: Preserve America Community, United States Executive Branch

Ketchikan, a short two days from Seattle, is the first port of call in Alaska. It is a busy, progressive city with paved streets, up to date department stores and curio shops. There is an opportunity here for a walk to Ketchikan Creek, which flows through the center of the city and in the salmon spawning season hundreds of salmon may be seen struggling and leaping the falls on their journey to calm fresh waters.
