Ketchikan is a small community of approx. 14,000 year round residents. Our city is located on the western side of Revillagigedo Island, accessible only by plane or boat. We average 170-180 inches of rainfall a year. Ketchikan is "Alaska's First City" when traveling north along the Inside Passage.

If you are traveling here by plane you might like to know that it requires a short ferry ride from Gravina Island, (where the airport is) to our Island. Ketchikan is approximately 680 air miles north from Seattle. Our primary economy is based on tourism, fishing and timber harvesting. Ketchikan is a very popular destination and we will see an estimated 960,000 tourists in 2010.
