The coffee city is also the home of the popular 'Starbucks' chain and in Seattle there is a branch on almost every street corner. Those in the know meet at Pike Place Market for a stroll and to buy freshly-caught fish. The waterfront with its countless souvenir shops and fish restaurants is perfect for a leisurely walk.

One very interesting destination is the Inuit village of Teller, where many artefacts dating from the time of the Gold Rush have been preserved. Second, Nome has gained importance in connection with the famous sled-dog race "Iditarod", since it is here that the winner crosses the finishing line with his team of dogs, following around nine or ten days racing. As soon as the winner draws near to the finishing line, a bell rings and all of the town's residents rush out to greet the victor.

In the 19th century the borough was shaken by the second wave of the Gold Rush and served as a way station on the route to inland Canada. Today, the rather quiet town of Wrangell is a destination for nature lovers keen to experience first hand the Le Conte and Shakes glaciers as well as the untouched wilderness of Alaska. In April, the largest population of eagles in North America gathers at the Stikine river delta. Stone carvings (petroglyphs), some of which are around 8,000 years old, can be found not far from Wrangell. Visitors can also marvel at the six totem poles in Wrangell's Totem Park.

Some are in front of the Museum of Northern British Columbia, a building built in the style of an Indian long-house, providing information on 5,000 years of regional history. Artefacts from the indigenous peoples and the white settlers provide an insight into the way of life and the history of the native Indian tribes prior to and after the arrival of the white man. North Pacific Cannery Village Museum in Port Edward, 20 km South of Prince Rupert, provides information about commercial fishing and the techniques of preserving and canning foods. Guided tours and staff wearing costumes bring one of the oldest fish canning factories on the West coast in 1889 back to life.
