When you ask people why they live in Juneau they may answer mountains, water or natural beauty, but most will say — or add — the people and the community. Juneau has proven time and time again that we are indeed a community, and have come together more often than not.

With the summer fishing season moving into full swing, the excitement throughout our communities is palpable. As the mayors of Kodiak, Cordova, Juneau, Ketchikan, and Valdez, we appreciate the long hours of daylight that summer brings, as well as the harvest of salmon that provides for our families, our communities, and makes up a bedrock of our shared cultures. For generations, salmon have been a cornerstone of our way of life.
