I may be moving to Dillingham, AK (Anchorage: how much, theater)

[LynnAnnGs]

I was hoping someone from Dillingham can tell me about it. Like the houseing and jobs. What the weather is like there and the people. I am applying with a company there and I am hoping I get it. I have always wanted to move to alaska I have researched a lot about AK and have now decided to make the move. I would like to move my kids and grandkids but want to know what it is like first. what are the Schools like and things for kids to do like teenagers. how much does housing cost and is there housing available? so many questions. Thank you in advance for any and all replys.

Might get some info here maybe:

City of Dillingham

First of all if you like Wal-Mart, McDonalds, theaters, or malls it is a $450.00 airplane ride to Anchorage. If you can live with out all that it is a wonderful place to live, providing you like the outdoors. Housing starts at $1100 + utilities for a small decent house, gas is $4.95, milk is $7.00 and fresh fruit and vegitables in the winter are frozen. The Hospital is the main employer for year round work but there are several seasonal jobs. It will be total culture shock for your kids, if you do not live in a remote area now.
