Welcome to Ketchikan, Alaska's "first city". We can boast of our beautiful setting, mild climate and rich history. Ketchikan has rainforests, fjords, glaciers and numerous waterfalls. Our temperatures are never very cold or very hot: in January, our average temperature is 35º and in July, it is 58º. One thing before you begin, get your umbrella. The rainfall measures approximately 15 feet per year!

Ketchikan is best known for its Alaskan Native culture and great salmon fishing. In addition to native villages, we have more totem poles than anywhere else in the world. Join us in our odyssey through this wonderful city in the southeast corner of Alaska as we develop this ongoing tribute.
