Skagway is located at the end of the Inside Passage in Southeast Alaska with a summer population of approximately 2,500 people and a winter population of 700 people. In 1898 Skagway was at its peak as the jumping off point for the Klondike gold fields. Today over 750,000 visitors come through our tiny town in just five months. The climate is mild and quite pleasant with little rainfall compared to the rest of Southeast Alaska. The beauty and energy of our town captures the heart of all individuals who travel here.
Housing is the number one concern in Skagway.
We do offer some employee housing, and it is reserved for those who are able to work the entire season. Our summer housing varies in style and cost. Camping offers a more adventuresome alternative. Employees travel to and from Skagway by automobile, Alaskan Ferry, or air. Once in Skagway, employees can travel by foot or bike.
