We usually have a lot of snow. This past winter, we had 63 inches in 10 days. Geography Seward is at the end of the Seward highway that comes out of Anchorage. The Mustang and the CG building is located in the small boat harbor, on 4th Ave, the main street. The rec camp offers a lot of things that are of interest in the summer months.
Anchorage offers the most reasonable shopping.
The Air Force and Army both have good commissaries and exchanges. Most of the stores here cater to the tourists. Most families here, save up and drive to Anchorage one or twice a month, depending on when the boat is in port, or what status the crew is in. The spouses get together fairly often, and provide a good support when the boat is underway. There is no base housing, but CG leased housing.
