Quality of Life

Have you ever wanted to live in a small town where your kids could ride their bikes to go fishing?

Where Main Street is closed off so everyone can come together to celebrate?

Where the hardware store and grocery store are within walking distance of just about everywhere in town?

Petersburg, Alaska offers the fun of small town life filled with rich traditions and an authenticity of character often missing from the modern city. In fact, Petersburg was named the "Best Town in Alaska for Young Families" by NerdWallet.com.

Petersburg is also known as “the town that fish built”, and is homeport to one of most productive and diverse commercial fishing fleets in Alaska, and location of three major seafood processing plants, and several small custom processors. On average, over 70 million pounds of fish and shellfish crosses the dock in Petersburg each year, making Petersburg one of Alaska and the nation’s top ports as well.
