Anchorage is located in South-Central Alaska. Yes, Anchorage is FAR
away from a lot of places… 2,463 road miles from Seattle, 3,608 miles
from Los Angeles, 4,499 miles from New York City and 5,074 miles from
Miami. Anchorage is situated between the Cook Inlet to the West, The
Chugach Mountains to the East and Mt. McKinley approximately 130 air
miles to the North (which can be seen through the clear Alaska sky from
Anchorage). The Municipal boundaries take up about 2,000 square miles, although most of that is the Chugach National Forest.
The 2004 population is about 279,000, an increase of more than 20
percent since 1990… 2/5th of the ENTIRE population of Alaska, making
it the largest city in the state. Nearby Mat-Su Valley (Wasilla and
Palmer) adds 78,000 more residents. Anchorage is where my 3 children and I made our home for
three years. Anchorage has just about every organized sport you could
possibly want. Anchorage has everything from basketball, baseball and
softball to broomball, football and rugby to soccer, hockey and
volleyball. Outdoor
sports are popular activities for most Anchorage residents. There
are many miles of trails for walking, hiking and
biking. There are also many parks, recreation/community centers and
places for children as well as adults to have fun and enjoy
themselves. There are even three downhill ski areas within the
city.
Believe me when I say, “There is something for everyone….”
