Seward

In Alaska you can flag down a train

  • Fairbanks
  • Seward
  • Talkeetna
  • Wasilla

I've had my car at a local repair shop for the last few days (see my RAV4 recall article) to see if they can find out what's wrong with it. It has an intermittent "power lag" problem, but with it being intermittent, and only being worse on cold and wet days, they haven't been able to find it. (Amazingly it has been sunny and warm for the last two days, but much cooler today.)

Looking for a place to live

  • Palmer
  • Seward
  • Wasilla

I've officially begun looking for a new place to live. My lease here at the Wasilla apartment complex (which I fondly refer to as the "ghetto" or "slums") runs out at the end of September, and while I could sign a new lease, or stay here on a month-to-month basis, I'd like to move to a quieter area, and a smaller town.

The Seward, Alaska military resort

  • Seward

If you happen to be a member of the United States military, you have a really wonderful benefit in Alaska, as you'll have the opportunity to stay at the Seward, Alaska military resort. I remember the first time I drove past the military resort in Seward, and not knowing what it was, I thought, "Wow, this looks like a terrific place to stay." Then I saw the military resort signs, and while I worked for the DoD for several years, I haven't been a member of the United States military, and I knew I wouldn't be able to stay there.

Seward, Alaska Lodges

  • Seward

Seward, Alaska lodges: By now I've spent at least four weeks of my life in Seward, Alaska, and I think it's is a lovely little town. I've seen a few of the Seward lodges that you can rent, and as I thought about the, I thought I'd compile a list of Seward lodges to help other people find what they're looking for.

So, in an effort to share this information, here is a little of Seward, Alaska lodges, including links to Seward lodge websites, phone numbers and map locations.

Hotels in Seward, Alaska

  • Seward

I've probably spent at least 3-4 weeks of my life in Seward, Alaska, and it is a lovely little fishing town (at least I think it is). I've stayed in several hotels in Seward, including the Best Western, Hotel Seward, Van Gilder, and the Breeze Inn. I'll try to add more comments about these hotels in the future, but for now, I thought I'd just share this list of Seward, Alaska hotel information.

Seward, Alaska house rentals (home rentals)

  • Seward

Seward, Alaska house rentals: I've probably spent at least 3-4 weeks of my life in Seward, Alaska, and I think it's a very cutel little fishing town. In fact, my plan is to retire in Seward.

While I've stayed in Seward very often, and now live just up the road in Palmer, Alaska, I haven't stayed in a house rental in Seward yet. That being said, I have compiled a list of house rentals in Seward that I haven't shared out here yet.

Seward, Alaska hostels

Seward, Alaska hostels: I've spent at least four weeks of my life in Seward, Alaska now, and it's a lovely little fishing town (at least I think it is). While I've stayed in Seward very often, and I may move there this fall, I haven't stayed in a Hostel in Seward yet, but as I was going through my notes, I found that I have compiled a list of Seward Hostels that I haven't shared out here yet.

So, in an effort to share this information, here is a little of Seward, Alaska Hostels, including phone numbers and map locations.

Seward, Alaska Bed and Breakfasts

  • Seward

Seward, Alaska Bed and Breakfasts: As I've mentioned recently, I've probably spent at least 3-4 weeks of my life in Seward, Alaska, and I love this quaint little fishing town.

While I've stayed in Seward very often, and I may move there this fall, I haven't stayed in a Bed and Breakfast in Seward yet, but as I was going through my notes, I found that I have compiled a list of Seward Bed and Breakfasts that I haven't shared out here yet.

Seward Alaska cabin rentals

  • Seward

Seward, Alaska cabin rentals: Seward, Alaska is a quaint little fishing town in Alaska. The town is less than three hours from Anchorage by car, and most of the drive to Seward is through a national forest. The drive alone is more scenic than many people will see in their entire lives, with mountains, forests, green rivers and lakes, and possible wildlife sightings.

Moving again in September

  • 2010 Trip to Alaska
  • Destinations
  • Homer
  • Palmer
  • Seward

As I mentioned earlier this spring, I landed here in Wasilla because it was basically the only place available. When I first moved here I looked at areas like Kenai and Soldotna, but didn't like them much. I love Homer and Seward, but couldn't find a place to live I could afford. I lived in Talkeetna in 2007, and while I still love that little town, I don't know I could live there during the winter. So this spring the choices came down to Anchorage and Wasilla.
