Seward is located at the head of Resurrection Bay, a stunning fjord on the Gulf of Alaska. Nestled between the mountains and the ocean, our seaside community is home to approximately 2,800 year-round residents. A full range of ser vices is available to ensure a comfortable visit including a hospital, a pharmacy, several grocers, a post office, a public library, and a variety of retail shops.
Seward is directly connected to the Lower 48 via the Alaska Highway. The closest commercial airport to Seward is Ted Stevens Anchorage International Airport.
