2023 Land Sale Auction: Ketchikan (MHT 9101266)

Location:

Ketchikan is Alaska’s first city and a quick trip from Seattle. Its colorful history dates back to being a supply hub as the first stop in and last stop out during the gold rush era of the late 1800’s and early 1900’s. Since mining days, it has successfully reinvented itself many times from fish canneries, logging, tourism, and of course fishing.
The Ketchikan Gateway Borough boasts a population of 14,000 year round residents. It is the perfect size for living a small town life with friendly neighbors yet maintains a strong economy with lively cultural, artistic, and community events and activities for all ages and interests. There’s truly so much to offer in this piece of temperate rainforest paradise.
