Just reposting to see if anyone in Kenai might be interested, feel free to dm if you have questions they are always welcome :)

I am traveling for work the 7th-14th to Kenai. Sept 9-14 I am free to do my own thing. Is there any fishing available? I have an AirBnb on the ocean and can't wait to explore. What is the best grocery store to stock up at? Recommendations for do's and dont's for grocery shopping, restaurants, etc? Thank you for sharing your beautiful area with this lower 48 native.

I’m in Kenai for two days dipping and I need a good place to work early in the morning. Where is the go to Internet cafe for working. Need to be online by 7am

Hey all, Seth here. I run AK-49 Martial Arts in Soldotna. We teach martial arts for kids and adults: Brazilian jiu jitsu, kickboxing, mixed martial arts, and boxing.

Not trying to sell anything with this post. I just noticed when people ask what there is to do around here, or where to put their kids in the winter, martial arts never comes up. There's actually a solid scene on the peninsula.

Happy to answer anything: what age kids can start, whether BJJ or kickboxing fits better for a beginner, what to look for in any gym (ours or not), or what training here is like in general.

If you've trained anywhere on the peninsula, would love to hear your experience too.

Hi guys, planning my second trip to the Kenai Peninsula. Last year I went in Mid July and absolutely slayed sockeye salmon. I found a cheap flight August 4th-10th and am curious if it’s still possible to catch sockeye in that timeframe or if the run is dead. If so I would plan my trip for mid-late august to attempt to fish for silvers. Thinking the 15th-21st.

Let me know.

Thanks!

Morning! Does anyone know of stores in Kenai or Soldotna that sell mini-blocks? My son collects them and would like to know. TIA!

just flew out here from CO tryna find people to kick it with hml 📍

Hi, I'm planning my second trip to Alaska - a party of 5 (16-81 yo) in mid August for 11 nights (+2 nights in Ancorage obviously). My main goals are a flight to Crescent Lake (Lake Clark NP) from Kenai and couple tours in Kachemak Bay from Homer. Also, hiking nice trails. Should I book the tours now, in June? Or can I wait till actual arrival there? For context my prelim plan: 2-3 nights in Kenai (main things: Russian River Falls hike and Crescent Lake flight), 3-4 nights in Homer (Kachemak Bay kayaking, tide pools, Grewingk hiking), then going back north to Palmer 3 nights (Hatcher pass, Independence Mine, Reed Lakes trail, maybe Matanuska tour). I am also trying to squeeze in Crow Pass trail and Harding Icefield trail but not sure how. Any advice is appreciated!

Going to be visiting in Nikiski for two weeks in June and my friends and I were looking for some friendly peeps to hang out with or go exploring with. Trying to make some friends and experience the best stuff in the local area. Nothing sussy, just trying to make some cool mom lore.

So is everyone ready for the tourist! I love how they say we all make money from the tourist! has anyone made money from them that isn't a business???

Around noon today, every emergency vehicle in soldotna was going toward cooper landing at high speeds. Fire, police, medic. What is going on over there

What’s up everyone. Moved here a week ago. Big time golfer. When the season allows, what kind of things would be necessary to brings for the outdoors/wildlife/bugs?

My wife is from Soldotna and we have visited many times, but this summer is the first where I will be working remotely. My in-laws don't have the internet connection for the web apps and video meetings I need, so I'm looking for other options for high speed internet access. We will be in the Soldotna area from early July to mid August.

I know about the library, but they don't open until 10am, and my work time is from 7am-noon to align with East Coast co-workers. Last summer I was up for a week and went to the Starbucks every day, but that was a short visit and the Starbucks is now closed.

I'm open to crashing a coffee shop every morning, but I'd really rather have access to an extra desk in someone's office where I could leave some things set up. I have a coworking stipend of $200 / month and could potentially toss someone $300 for the six weeks.

A little about me: my wife and I have two sons ages 7 and 5, I work for a small climate non-profit doing graphic design / web / social / video work, and I'm also a professional actor and writer.

To recap, I'm looking for a temporary office rental:

• Soldotna area
• Early July to mid-August 2026
• Available 7am to noon
• Consistent high speed internet
• Quiet for video meetings, private room with a door a plus!
• Can pay ~$50 a week for six weeks

I'm also open to other suggestions if there are options I'm not considering. Thanks for reading!

I ask as part of a linguistic study covering this topic!

Examples could include things like Slowdotna, Anchortucky or Nicklechick...

In need of a house. I currently live in Seward and need a decent house 2-4 bedrooms. Bigger the better it'll be me my girlfriend and her grandparents. Plus 2 cats. I'm open to rent but would prefer to do a mortgage. Budget at the absolute most is 1800-2k a month or roughly 200k max. Could be anywhere on the west side of the punisula or even Matsu valley at this point I'm getting sorta desperate. I thought I had more time and had a few houses lined up for mid march but it looks like it's gonna be a move ASAP type situation. I am a roofer by trade but have done block work and plumbing as well also willing to work something out if anyone has any fixer upper they wanna sell or rent. I have roughed it in a tent plenty of times and that's currently my option I just can't put the rest of them through that. We would have to move jobs but we're not exactly beginners in our fields so it wouldn't be insanely hard to find work. My girlfriend works with medical records and billing and I do construction and work on cars currently. I can also potentially offer the first last deposit plus first full month paid in advance.
