Ketchikan

Ketchikan has served as a fishing and timber centre in southeastern Alaska since the early 20th century. Set on Revillagigedo Island beside the Tongass Narrows, it is surrounded by Tongass National Forest and lies on the Inside Passage, the sheltered coastal route used by ferries and cruise ships. Salmon remains central to local identity, while Indigenous heritage is visible in the city’s totem poles and at the Totem Heritage Center. Creek Street, a boardwalk along Ketchikan Creek, recalls the early waterfront and its former red-light district.
