No visit to Ketchikan should be without a trip to Creek Street. In the “olden” days, Creek Street was where the houses of ill repute were located along with some of the rougher saloons. Today it is the location of lots of stores. You can buy anything from “T” shirts to gold nuggets.
Now the last store on the right in the above picture said they were selling something else. I don’t know since Twila made me leave. All I know is I was offered a good time.
Actually it’s supposed to be the location of the last legal “Brothel” in Ketchikan and they give tours for $5. At least Twila told me that was all it was.
Ketchikan also claims a couple of other titles, the Salmon Capital of the World,
and the most rainfall.
The above fact, most rain, is what makes our visit this time so usual. When we were here on a cruise ship in May of 2007 there was so much rain that when you crossed the street it was 2 inches deep in water. This visit it has been beautiful. No rain just sunshine.
Ketchikan is a tourist town that shouldn’t be missed. They do have some really good prices on their sale items too since there is so much competition.
In the morning we get back on the ferry and head for Prince Rupert, Canada.
