My thoughts are with Kotz. I'll be looking out for any calls for mutual aid and hope others will share info if they see it. #AlaskaSky

Wednesday early afternoon: mandatory evacuation for the entire city of Kotzebue (posted on the city FB page) for expected coastal flooding later today. No roads in or out of Kotz, so in this case, evacuation means go to the High School. #akwx #weatther #Alaska

City of Kotzebue Mandatory Evacuation Order Issued 1205pm October 8, 2025. Due to incoming storm.water surge, the City of Kotzebue is issuing a mandatory evacuation order for all residents, effective immediately.

Preliminary results from Tuesday’s municipal election show a sales tax exemption for food and utilities passing with about 70% of the vote, while a seasonal sales tax seeking to shift a greater burden of the city’s costs onto tourists is losing decisively.

Voters favor sales tax exemption, reject seasonal sales tax in early results; Bryson and Brooks even in Assembly race

Whitney, Johnson and Cullum lead among five school board candidates with about 6,000 ballots counted

Palmer, Wasilla, & Houston all have city elections today. If you're a resident of any of those, there's still time to head to a polling place and be part of your local government.

Reporting from Two Rivers, AK - first time voting since getting naturalized (borough assembly and school board seats).

A round sticker in dark red, white, dark blue with the text VOTE LOCAL, I VOTED! and OUR TOWN YOUR VOTE and the Alaska flag with a golden star marking the location of the Fairbanks North Star Borough.

Did you vote yet? Today at 8pm is your last chance!

I’m part of the ~4600 who voted early and by my favorite method: drop-box before a dinner date!

Two people stand in of the Douglas Library drop box next to a big white sign that says “city and Borough of Juneau ballot Drop box”. Both have “I voted” stickers and one is inserting her ballot into the mail slot

There has been a lot of great conversation around how to network the undeclared/nonpartisan voters in Alaska.
