Southeast Alaska (SEAK) cultural things that made me go “huh” after I moved here from Colorado. (And that strike me whenever I travel down south)
Take off your shoes when inside the house.
Don’t use an umbrella. Umbrellas are for tourists (despite the fact that you live in a literal temperate rainforest)
Leaving you car unlocked and running when you run errands during the winter.
But locking it in the spring/fall because bears.
Don’t lock your front and back doors either
Buoy swings (a fishing buoy attached to a rope and hung from a tree for kids to swing on)
Complete seafood snobs
Unanimous dislike of fish farming
It’s rumored that commercial crab/shrimp fishermen will cut the buoys off subsistence crab/shrimp pots when the commercial fishing season starts
But I don’t know how true that is.
Wood stoves in nearly every house. Middle of town in a trailer? Wood stove.
No fire places, they don’t actually heat very well and just take up wood.
Lots of homeschoolers
Getting wished “happy solstice” on winter solstice because everyone is so excited to start gaining daylight.
Rhubarb everywhere (in food and gardens)
Obsession with a type of flower called fireweed
Counting down the days of summer based on the fireweed.
Rubber boots, specifically the Xtra-tuff brand, as everyday footwhere.
Like, you write your name on yours and decorate them to distinguish them from your friends’/family’s/neighbors.
Anyway, those are just the things that came to my mind. 🤷‍♀️

you live in Alaska I live in British Columbia so for some reason I feel that we are neighbours. even though I live nowhere near Alaska tbh. but in my mind we are neighbours <3
whenever i meet someone from BC i like to propose that we swap Southeast AK for the Yukon so the political boundaries are more consistent with the biomes. no one seems super interested in pursuing this politically. anyway hello neighbo(u)r!
