Quality of Life - Sitka Has It!
Does it take you more than 15 minutes to drive to work, school, grocery store, bank, movie theater, library, airport, golf course, performing arts center, mountain hiking trails or ocean beaches? Imagine living where you can watch whales from the supermarket parking lot and bald eagles are more common than pigeons. Imagine living in a place where everything is so close that you have time to go fishing for salmon after work? Image a community that has the character of a small town and the amenities of a much larger city, including daily jet service to Seattle.

The National Trust for Historic Preservation named Sitka, Alaska, one of its 2010 Dozen Distinctive Destinations. Sitka was selected for its diverse cultural heritage, its citizens' strong commitment to protecting and celebrating all of their history, and its unique array of natural attractions and outdoor activities.
"Sitka not only represents a unique chapter of America's story, but is also a wonderful place to visit, from the extraordinary wilderness to be found right in its backyard to the singular cultural offerings and delicious local dining," said Richard Moe, president of the National Trust for Historic Preservation.
