2021 KODIAK RELOCATION GUIDE

THE KODIAK CHAMBER OF COMMERCE WELCOMES YOU TO KODIAK Welcome to the Emerald Isle, the second largest island in the United States!

Rain or shine, rain being more likely, the beauty of Kodiak captivates residents and visitors alike.

Whether an avid outdoors lover, artist, or someone that simply appreciates a tight-knit community and scenic vistas, history, and culture, or the quiet and seclusion, there is a place for everyone in Kodiak!

The Kodiak Archipelago spans sixteen major islands consisting of seven communities, Kodiak, Port Lions, Ouzinkie, Larsen Bay, Karluk, Old Harbor, and Akhiok. Kodiak is the largest of the communities.

Much of the Kodiak area commerce is driven by the thriving commercial fishing industry. Virtually every business in Kodiak benefits from commercial fishing dollars, with nearly 20% of the population fishing commercially. Kodiak also boasts the largest Coast Guard Base in the US, and the first privately owned rocket launch facility.

Rich in beauty, history, and culture, there is plenty to explore throughout the island. Start exploring your new home by stopping by Discover Kodiak at the Visitor’s Center for maps, helpful tips, and plan your adventure.

Stop by the Chamber of Commerce to begin your job search, or learn more about business, starting your own business, and social networking opportunities.

We’ll see you around the rock!

The Kodiak Real Estate Market

2021 KODIAK RELOCATION GUIDE

16

Article Courtesy of Grant Shields, Alaska 1 Realty The Island of Kodiak, Alaska, is home to about 12,611 residents based on last year’s population estimates from Alaska Department of Labor and Workforce Development.

This Island community boasts unparalleled world class fishing and hunting. It is home to one of the largest Coast Guard bases in the United States with a group of 2,.000 service members and their families. Commercial Fishing, Canneries, XtraTuf boots, and Grunden’s rain gear, are synonymous with the Kodiak community and all of the above play an integral part in the local economy and Real Estate market.

Kodiakan’s and Coasties, as referred to by our locals, mingle together in business, politics, and play. It is not unusual for Coast Guard personnel to buy a home in the community and when their tour is up in Kodiak to just rent the property out until they return, whether that be for another tour of duty or retirement! With the Island’s gorgeous mountains, remote beaches, trails, 4 wheeling, kayaking, boating, and yes, “fishing” can you blame them?

Many Coast Guard buyers as well as investors or second home buyers that have purchased in Kodiak have seen their properties appreciate in a steady fashion with impressive returns if sold. Kodiak also has a viable rental market due to seasonal jobs and annual projects that keep rental inventory in demand. The island has options for property management services if folks choose to go that route. The local Real Estate market is serviced by local Realtors that keep abreast of the latest technology and update their education continually to provide professionalism and ethics to Kodiak buyers and sellers.

One noted concern in the Kodiak Real Estate market can be lack of inventory. When looking to buy in Kodiak it is wise to begin your search early. Markets can fluctuate rather quickly and with recent trends and low interest rates it would be wise to utilize the talents of a Real Estate professional when buying or selling a home.

Let’s take a look at the Islands market trends and sales over the last several years to date to get a picture of the local Kodiak market. This information can be formulated by researching the multiple listing service and by doing so one will see a steady upward climb regarding property value. The medium sales price in 2016 for a typical 3-to-4-bedroom home about 1800-2000sf, with 2 bathrooms and a garage was selling around $320,000. That same type of home in 2018 was selling for $350,000 which resulted in an appreciation value of 3% per year. In looking at 2019 homes with those similar features were pushing into the$ 370,000 to $375,000 Price range and in 2020 as noted with the historic low interest rates those same types of homes were approaching the $400,000 dollar price range. Location, condition, and amenities would also play an important role in the value of your property. If you are lucky enough to be moving to this gorgeous Island in the Pacific, make sure to reach out to one of the local Real Estate professionals to guide you in researching the Kodiak market for your perfect home. We will look forward to seeing you at the local brewery or catching the “big one” on our local rivers. Until then, fair winds and smooth sailing!

2021 KODIAK RELOCATION GUIDE

Visitors can walk chronologically through exhibits that tell some of the stories of Kodiak and its people beginning around 1808 when the Russian American Magazin was built and running through to modern times.

1780-1880

HO ARE THE ALUTIIQ PEOPLE?

The Alutiiq are Kodiak’s first settlers, an Alaska Native people closely related to the Yup’ik of southwestern Alaska. Today there are about 1,800 Alutiiq people in the Kodiak region.

They live in the City of Kodiak and six rural villages—Akhiok, Karluk, Larsen Bay, Old Harbor, Ouzinkie, and Port Lions.

H

OW LONG HAVE ALUTIIQ PEOPLE LIVED ON KODIAK?

Alutiiq ancestors came to Kodiak more than 7,500 years ago. Archaeologists believe they paddled to the island from the Alaska Peninsula and that the modern Native community is descended from these first residents. When Russian traders arrived in 1764, there were about 10,000 Alutiiq people living in the region.

HAT RESOURCES DO ALUTIIQ PEOPLE HARVEST?

© Alutiiq Museum

Kodiak’s Native language is called Alutiiq or Sugcestun. This language was heavily suppressed in the twentieth century and there are just a few fluent speaker left. Today, Alutiiq elders are teaching the language to younger generations. In addition to English, many Alutiiq people speak some Russian, the language of the Russian Orthodox Church.

The Alutiiq are a maritime people who have always made their living from the sea. Alutiiq ancestors built sturdy boats from driftwood and animal skins and used them to harvest sea mammals, fish, and birds to feed their families. Most Alutiiq families continue to harvest wild foods, both for the dinner table and the commercial fishing industry.

Kodiak also has active Native dance groups, who perform with songs, instruments, and choreography.

No matter the weather, no matter the season, Kodiak is always catering to new and different activities! Hit the waves and get up close and personal with otters, puffins and whales in a boat, paddleboard, kayak, or surfboard. Push yourself to the limits hiking to top altitudes and mountain biking or take a leisurely stroll through the moss filled forests. Experience the wild side of fishing and take your machine “out the road” to Saltery or stay close to home and catch the 5 species of salmon that run through our rivers each season. No matter your taste, we have something for everyone!

Wildlife of Kodiak Famous Kodiak Bears

Creatures with Hooves

Kodiak Bears are some of the largest bears in the world and are a unique subspecies of the brown bear. Kodiak is home to about 3,500, meaning nearly a bear every square mile!

Roosevelt Elk can be found sparsely throughout Afognak and Raspberry Islands. Watch for the small Sitka Black-Tailed Deer as you drive on the road system, and go shed hunting for their antlers in the late winter and early spring. Just look up into the peaks of rocky mountains to find the white Mountain Goats. Venture out to the Southwest side of the island for a glimpse of Reindeer wandering about.

Creatures on Land

Keep your eyes peeled for the small, cunning, and quick Ermine! They are white in the winter and brown with a white chest in the warmer months.

Silver, Red, and Cross Foxes are also abundant throughout Kodiak and may even be casing our resident Hares.

Be Bear, aware!

Remember When Walking through the woods, make noise and sing this song: “Hey bear, ho bear.

What you gonna do?

I’m here, you’re there.

I’m just passing Through.

Hey bear, ho bear.

It’s such a lovely day.

This is your l and, I understand, so I’ll be on my way!”

The Pillar Mountain Wind Project Article Courtesy of KEA

The Kodiak community is powered by Kodiak Electric Association, Inc. (KEA); a locally owned and operated electric cooperative that has been serving the community since 1941. KEA currently is 100% renewable. The six wind turbines that stand proudly atop Pillar Mountain are able to generate around twenty percent of the baseload. The remaining eighty percent is harnessed through three 11 Megawatt (MW) hydro turbines that are fed by Terror Lake. The wind and hydropower are supported by two separate energy storage solutions, two 1 MW flywheels, and two 1.5 MW battery banks. The systems all work in conjunction to provide reliable power to the people.

The Pillar Mountain Wind Project consists of 6 1.5 MW wind turbines. They are each 80 meters tall and they have a rotor swept area of 77 meters. The first three were installed in 2009 and the second three were installed in 2012.

Previously, a good portion of the city’s energy was generated using diesel engines. These engines remain connected to the grid as a backup in case of an emergency. Given the natural splendor of the island, KEA’s transition to renewable generation was a widely supported effort. There are few locations worldwide that can boast about their energy being generated through 100% renewable resources, all accomplished without raising rates to the members.

The Coast Guard in Kodiak

Being stationed on Kodiak, a beautiful island approximately 250 miles southwest of Anchorage leads to some amazing experiences for most who are assigned here.

Life on Alaska’s “Emerald Isle” can be wonderful and wild. Summers are full of long periods of daylight, hiking, fishing, hunting, and surfing, biking, boating, and exploring the second largest island in the United States.

Winters on “The Rock” bring darkness, heavy wind and rain, and occasional bouts of ice and snow, but we still find ways to have fun!

If you’re bringing a family, Coast Guard Base Kodiak is the home of “Rock Solid Support” to all Coast Guard units on the island and here at Base Kodiak we offer an exceptional array of opportunities.

On-base facilities include a commissary, exchange, movie theater, bowling alley, and a modern gym with an indoor swimming pool.

Off base there is a Safeway and Wal-Mart approximately eight miles away. Low crime rates, good schools, a close-knit community, and plenty of year-round activities make it so that many families who get stationed here don’t want to leave.

44

In addition to the Base, there are several large commands located on Kodiak. Coast Guard Air Station Kodiak is a Seventeenth Coast Guard District (D17) unit.

The Air Station was commissioned as an Air Detachment on April 17, 1947, with one PBY Catalina aircraft, seven pilots, and 30 crewmen. It represented the first permanent Coast Guard aviation resource in Alaska. It is the largest Coast Guard command in D17 and the entire Pacific Area (PACAREA). The present complement of HC-130Hs, MH-60Ts, MH-65Ds support the mission and save lives.

The Coast Guard Cutter DOUGLAS MUNRO (WHEC 724), the finest 378-foot cutter in the Coast Guard, is homeported here as well. Named after the only Coast Guard Medal of Honor recipient, Signalman First Class Douglas Munro, the cutter enjoys a reputation for excellence resulting from the pride and hard work of the crew. Serving aboard a high endurance Coast Guard cutter is quite an experience. The missions can be very demanding, and the key to success is the high caliber of the men and women assigned to DOUGLAS MUNRO.

2021 KODIAK RELOCATION GUIDE

Coast Guard Cutter ALEX HALEY (WMEC 39), The Bulldog of the Bering, is a former Navy rescue and salvage ship. The ALEX HALEY is uniquely suited for a wide array of missions in “The Final Frontier” of Alaska. Primarily focused on homeland security, search and rescue, and international/domestic fisheries enforcement, the crew has operated throughout the Bering Sea and the Aleutian Islands, into the western Pacific and Sea of Japan, and north into the Arctic Circle. As the largest Medium Endurance Cutter in the Coast Guard’s fleet, it boasts a stable design that supports a better ride in heavy seas.

Coast Guard Cutter CYPRESS (WLB 210) , The Aleutian Keeper and its crew support the Aids to Navigation mission in Alaska, an experience of a lifetime.

YOUR MOST AFFORDABLE EYECARE

THE KODIAK VISION CLINIC was a by-product of a warrant officer informing a young optometrist getting out of school that the new Coast Guard Rockmore Clinic needed eye care. Doc Myers came to town to fulfill that need and set up a vision clinic for affordable eyecare. That was in the early 80s. This year Dr. Eric Noll, having served in the Air Force and doing co-management with a surgical center in Fairbanks, is taking over. He has been in Kodiak many times for hunting and fishing and now has a Kodiak residence. The clinic is the big green building on your left as you come into town from the base just before the light.

Our front desk is managed by Susan, whose husband is in the Coast Guard.

COMMERCIAL FISHING: THE KEY TO KODIAK’S ECONOMY Article Courtesy of Alaska Groundfish Data Bank

©John Cannon

Kodiak, situated in the middle of some of the richest fishing grounds in the world, is very much a fishing town – there are over 600 fishing boats homeported here.

Large-scale commercial fisheries have been established around the Kodiak Archipelago since the first Salmon cannery was built in Karluk in 1882 and every business in Kodiak benefits from commercial fishing dollars. Its commercial fisheries are among the most diverse in the state and most of the processing workers who work in the canneries live in town – contrary to many commercial fishing towns that import seasonal workers. Stroll along cannery row adjacent to the harbor and you’ll find five major seafood processing facilities that process and export all the seafood landed by the local fishing fleet: Trident Seafoods, North Pacific Seafoods, Pacific Seafood, Silver Bay Seafoods, and Ocean Beauty Icicle Seafoods.

Kodiak consistently ranks as one of the top three fishing ports in the United States for the volume of fish landed.

397.2 million pounds were delivered into

56

Kodiak in 2019, up from 390 million pounds the year before. The 2019 ex-vessel value of all fish coming into Kodiak was $119.9 million, up from $104 million in 2018 (rank for value is usually within the top 4 or 5 US ports, but dropped to sixth in 2019).

Salmon (all five species can be found here but pink salmon returns are highest in volume) has traditionally been the mainstay of Kodiak’s fishing fleet but many other species are brought to town all year long by trawlers, pot vessels, longliners, and jig boats including pollock, cod, sablefish, halibut, sole and flounder, rockfish, crab, herring, and sea cucumbers. Almost all of the commercial fisheries are certified sustainable by the Marine Stewardship Council.

There’s never a lack of seafood to be found in Kodiak. And recent years have seen seaweed (kelp) being added to the mix of seafood products processed in Kodiak. Innovative seafood products coming out of Kodiak also include pollock noodles (worth a try!).

A Living From the Sea Article Courtesy of the Kodiak Maritime Museum Kodiak Island lies in the Gulf of Alaska, 100 miles south of the Kenai Peninsula and 40 miles east of the Alaska Peninsula. A hundred miles long and fifty miles wide, the island was first inhabited by people who arrived in skin covered kayaks from western Alaska about 7,500 years ago.

Russian explorer Vitus Bering and his crew were the first Europeans to see Kodiak Island, in 1741.

Bering saw lots of sea otters, and because sea otter fur was prized for hats and coats in Europe and china, Russian fur traders soon arrived from Siberia.

Lacking the hunting skills necessary to catch the animals themselves, the Russians used violence and starvation to force Kodiak’s native Alutiiq people to do the hunting for them, and also delivered European diseases, all of which resulted in the near extermination of Kodiak’s indigenous people.

By the mid-1800s the sea otters had been hunted nearly to extinction too, and with the economic engine for their Alaskan colony gone, the Russians sold Alaska to the U.S. in 1867.

In 1864, just three years before the Russians sold Alaska, Americans began using a revolutionary new technology, hermetically sealed cans, to pack salmon on the Sacramento River in California. By the 1870s, American fishermen and canners had arrived in Southeast Alaska and in 1882 built the first cannery at the mouth of the Karluk River, on the southwest coast of Kodiak Island. Kodiak’s canning industry grew explosively and by 1889, four million salmon a year were being canned on Kodiak.

In the early 1960s, Kodiak fishermen also began fishing king crabs, a resource which had not been previously eaten much by Americans. Canny marketing drove consumer demand however, and an modern fishing industry was born. A new shrimp fishery also came online in the 1960s and Kodiak boomed with hundreds of boats and fishermen bringing millions of dollars a year into the town. In the early 1980s both fisheries collapsed for reasons which are still debated, but which likely include overfishing and changing ocean conditions. Crab fishing continues every winter in the Bering Sea, and Kodiak fishermen fish “Out West,” and in the Gulf of Alaska for cod, pollock, halibut, black cod, herring, rockfish and salmon. Kodiak remains one of the top three American ports for value of fish landed.

In the 1970s and 1980s five or ten Kodiak fishermen a year were sometimes lost each year, mostly in extreme winter sea conditions. Better safety equipment and training have decreased the loss of life dramatically however, and in some recent years, not a single fishermen has been lost at sea anywhere in Alaska.

Commercial fishing is hard work, but hundreds of Kodiak fishermen continue to make their living from the sea, driven by a desire to work honestly and independently in a pristine and wild place, just as the first people who paddled ashore here did, 7,500 years ago.

© Ellen Carty

Alaska’s fisheries were managed by the Federal Bureau of Fisheries, which was heavily influenced by corporate canneries head quartered in San Francisco and Seattle. Driven by the desire for short term profit, the canneries pushed for lenient fishing regulations, which by the late 1850s led to a near collapse of Alaska’s salmon runs.

Partly in response to the decline of their salmon runs, Alaskans pushed for statehood, and when they got it in 1959, formed the Alaska Department of Fish and Game, which began managing salmon based strictly on science. The runs were gradually rebuilt, and salmon harvests are now at historic highs across the state, providing jobs for thousands of fishermen and processing workers every summer.
