Just over a five-hour flight from the West Coast, I was surprised that Alaska was that close. I had always thought it was just a quick hop over the Bering Sea to Russia. But it was a smooth flight on Alaskan Air that brought us to the much larger than anticipated Kodiak Island, about 3,500 square miles in size. As hub of the U.S. Coast Guard’s largest station, Kodiak Island reminded me of many of the small towns I’ve visited on the Oregon coast. Charming shops, harbor sounds and restaurants serving fresh seafood that line a small wharf and cannery row. Uncommercialized and still raw in nature, Kodiak offers the “real deal,” a life on the water with people that are welcoming and authentic.

Everyone saw the perfect combination of landscape and buildings: High mountain grasslands, surrounded by mountains, a river runs through it and structures for mini libraries and people to gather or enjoy solitude.
