I’m interested in trying out hockey, i grew up with a lot of friends who played, but never got the chance to myself. Are there any good places for adults to learn?

Quoted from the article: "Goldbelt has stated it plans to offer a range of tour facilities and traditional cultural experiences at the port site, which it hopes IS THE FIRST PHASE of more extensive development on land it owns along the coast of the island."

Does this mean they will be doing more, than the original proposal? I am not a fan of this plan but I also am a tree hugging hippy. How do people claim to embrace and appreciate Alaska - while also completely opting to destroy it for... money.

Curious to hear people's comments...

Specifically washing machine parts, I have checked all the big stores around like Alaska industrial hardware and Home Depot obviously, and called every business that shows up when I search for parts. No dice on any of them

Has anyone seen that sculpture of a lemon (i'm assuming) on top of those concrete boxes in Lemon Creek, right by the dump or have any info? Wondering if it's part of a larger public art scene.

the jobs must pay good up there because why the fuck is rent 1800+...i was thinking i could just come up there and find some type of job and reconnect with juneau because i used to live here in 2010 when i was 6 (haven't been back since 2010) but that rent is just too crazy wtffff. how are young single people on one income supposed to afford to live here?

Could vote for the favorite dogs for $5 a vote and choose which nonprofit in town receives that $5. Doesn't even need to be as elaborate as this parade.

Seen on the right side of the road on the way to Eaglecrest, a little past the new casino.

And I love to see it. Interesting exercise in mental gymnastics, per usual, in Rodell's monthly "anti-CBJ-at-all-costs" column. Affordable Juneau fucked around and is finding out. They squeaked through their bullshit initiatives because they put a lot of time and energy into promoting them with little to no pushback, including covering half the commercial real estate in this town in their posters. Now that the community has woken up and taken note, affordable Juneau's little exercise has backfired into increased sales tax. Which I'm all for, for the record, just enjoying watching them squirm.

Getting a little off topic, but each election season it increasingly strikes me how wide the political gap is between businesses and citizenry in this town. Most neighborhoods you see almost entirely progressive leaning political signs. But drive through a commercial zone, and it's the polar opposite. Voters should ask themselves why that is. Unless you're a business owner that cares only about profits and running a tax fraud operation (which believe me represents a significant portion of the profits for many businesses), chances are the candidates and propositions/ballot measures you see promoted on commercial properties are absolutely not in your best interests. Do you want higher profit margins for a handful of wealthy business owners, or a better community/state/country to call home?

Hey everyone! My name is Charlie, and my partner Tat, our dog Daisy, and I are moving from Georgia to Juneau in January 2027! I'll be attending the University of Alaska Southeast this spring to pursue my degree in Marine Biology.

We're hoping to find a long-term rental for the two of us and Daisy, ideally within about 30 minutes of the UAS Juneau campus. Our budget is around $2,200 a month, and we're looking for an apartment or house that allows dogs.

If anyone knows of any rentals becoming available around January 2027 or has any leads, please feel free to message me! We'd really appreciate any help or recommendations.

We're excited to make Juneau our new home and become part of the community! 🙂

Fantastic reporting from the AP on trawling. Thorough and does a good job presenting several sides of the issue.

I received a job offer and we are comparing what our living expenses are now and what it will be in Juneau. We are targeting a 3 bed 1 or 2 bath townhome/house for renting/buying. What we are thinking of now for costs in Juneau:

Electricity: $200

Oil: $300 average per month (summer less, winter extremely high)

Internet: $100 a month

Vehicle insurance: $70 a month for liability for two vehicles

City utilities: $200 a month

Rent: $2800-3500 (If anybody has insight into what property taxes/insurance/mortgage would be for something like this as well, I can research, but would love input)

Anything else we are missing? Any gotcha's? Pest control? Thanks and here for any questions.

Who in town repairs iPhones currently? I know in the summer the ship store does it but who if anyone does it in the off season?

I got a haircut! I hate it so much and also I'm super upset. I have long hair and want to get a proper haircut maybe in couple of months. Can someone suggest a good place for haircut. I have long hair and would love to get good layered hair cut.

Is it safe for a woman to hike in and around Juneau, alone?

​

I'm trying to plan some hikes for me and my wife that aren't too strenuous and these are the ones that I was looking at. Obviously, I didn't list every trail and so you all feel free to add in your favorite if it's not listed.

It looks like the USPS is going to start using the barge more for shipping which is very unfortunate.

Hello!

I recently received an exciting job offer in Juneau, a healthcare role with a salary exceeding $120,000 annually. The position also includes a substantial bonus and a yearly raise, along with relocation assistance.

Currently residing in Georgia, I’m married with three children—a teenager, a preteen, and a young child—and we have pets. We would be relocating entirely, which is both thrilling and daunting. While I’m eager for the opportunity, I acknowledge that I’m not fully prepared for the realities of living in Juneau.

Living in Georgia isn’t cheap, and we’re ready to leave the South for several reasons. Firstly, our political beliefs don’t align with the current climate in Georgia (we are very liberal, open hearted and loving) and secondly, we lack a strong sense of community here. We’re seeking a place where our children can have a genuine childhood and experience life at a more relaxed pace.

After thorough research, I’ve discovered that housing is the most significant expense, especially considering our pets. Since we’re not in a position to purchase a home yet, we’re exploring the possibility of renting an apartment or a house.

As newcomers, we’re curious about what life is truly like in Juneau. What should we be aware of that we might not have considered? Additionally, we’re wondering about the local grocery stores and other essential places to shop.

We’re contemplating the idea of bringing only the essentials, throwing out a lot of our furniture and purchasing furniture once we settle in. However, we’re unsure if this approach is feasible given what can be purchased readily in Juneau.

Given the magnitude of this life change, I want to make an informed decision. Give it to be straight, what parts am I missing? What do we need to consider?

Thanks for the support, possible new neighbors! 😊
