About Seward:
The city of Seward, founded in 1903, is situated on beautiful Resurrection Bay, on the southeast side of Alaska's Kenai Peninsula. A deep-water, ice-free port, Seward was chosen as the starting point for the Alaska railroad, connecting to Anchorage and the interior of Alaska.
Today, Seward is a popular vacation destination, for kayaking, fishing, hiking, and sightseeing. Accessible from Anchorage (125 miles to the north) by highway, rail, or private plane, it is the gateway to Kenai Fjords National Park, with scenic cruises daily in the summer. Exit Glacier is an easy drive and stroll away, and the Alaska SeaLife Center is a first class northern marine research and education facility. Seward boasts fine restaurants and art galleries, along with historic Alaskan buildings and small-town atmosphere.
Seward hosts the largest Independence Day celebration in Alaska, featuring the famous Mount Marathon race. 3000' Mt. Marathon provides the backdrop to the historic Seward town site, and racers dash through the streets of downtown Seward and scramble to the top of the peak, and then back down, a mile-and-a-half each way. Seward Unitarian Universalists have been four-time winners in the 4th of July parade.
With a population of about 3000, Seward's economy depends upon tourism, commercial fishing, and a state prison across the bay from the city. Kenai Fjords National Park Visitor's Center, Chugach National Forest Visitor's Center, and the Alaska SeaLife Center are major players in the city, as is the Alaska Vocational Technical Center. Seward Elementary School and Seward Middle/High School complete the educational offerings of the city.
