Seward's location is nothing short of epic. It sits at the northernmost edge of Resurrection Bay, a deeply long fjord carved millennia ago by retreating glaciers. To the east are snowcapped peaks decked out in their lower altitudes by forests of Sitka spruce. To the west is 700 square miles of ice known as the Harding Icefield. It is encompassed by the larger\u00a0Kenai Fjords National Park<\/a>. No matter where you look, there's something beautiful to see.<\/span><\/p>\n

With an estimated permanent population of 2,831 people as of 2017,<\/sup>\u00a0Seward is the fourth-largest city in the\u00a0Kenai Peninsula Borough<\/a>, behind\u00a0Kenai<\/a>,\u00a0Homer<\/a>, and the borough seat of\u00a0Soldotna<\/a>. The city is named for the former\u00a0US Secretary of State<\/a>\u00a0William H. Seward<\/a>, who orchestrated the United States'\u00a0purchase of Alaska<\/a>\u00a0from the\u00a0Russian Empire<\/a>\u00a0in 1867 while serving in this position as part of the President\u00a0Andrew Johnson<\/a>'s administration.<\/span><\/p>\n

It was the area's natural gateway to northern Alaska lands that led to its 1903 selection for the southern terminus of what would become the\u00a0Alaska Railroad<\/a>. The settlement was named Seward in honor of the politician who lobbied for and negotiated the purchase of Alaska from Russia in 1867. When the railroad was successfully constructed to Anchorage, Seward's future was secure. Today it serves as a turnaround port for most major glacier routes\u00a0Alaska cruises from Seward to Vancouver<\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n

By definition, Seward has a\u00a0subarctic climate<\/a>, but it experiences relatively moderate temperatures compared to the rest of the state throughout the year due to the influence of the nearby\u00a0Gulf of Alaska<\/a>. Only one month, January, sees an average daily high temperature below freezing, and temperatures below zero degrees\u00a0Fahrenheit<\/a>\u00a0are rare. The oceanic influence also imparts a high level of precipitation, with the heaviest amounts occurring during the fall and winter months.<\/span><\/p>\n
