Unalaska, Alaska....info? (employment, move, housing)

[smurf9592]

Hello -

My husband has applied and is being considered for a position in Unalaska, AK and we are from Mississippi. Obviously, this would be a huge move for us! I have been doing a lot of research on the internet regarding the town, availability of services, etc. Can anyone give me information regarding this town personally? We have five dogs that would be shipped along with us, and from what I am seeing there is limited if any housing availability. Also, I am interested in the satellite UofAK at Unalaska and regarding the potential for teaching there. I would be very appreciative of any information as we have never been to Alaska, much less Unalaska. Thanks.

Well I dont know anything about mississippi, but you are correct. Housing is scarce in unalaska/dutch harbor. A good lead is to keep an eye on the unalaskaadvertiser. There is a website that shows housing, employment and other information about these islands. Good luck
