Now and Then: The iconic Ketchikan welcome sign has greeted visitors for decades. 🐟 👋
The original sign from the second photo proudly called Ketchikan ‘Alaska’s 3rd largest city.’ In the late 1970s, the sign was updated to the more modern look you see today, now celebrating Ketchikan as ‘The Salmon Capital of the World.’
🎣 Fun fact: The original sign was actually hand-painted by local artists, and today’s version keeps the tradition alive by featuring local wildlife and fishing scenes! Whether you’re here for the fish or the history, Ketchikan never disappoints!
