Seward Alaska located in Kenai Peninsula Borough of Alaska. According to 2005
Census Bureau estimates, the population of the city is 3,016.
Transportation
Seward is unique among most small Alaskan communities in that it has road access
in the Seward Highway, a National Scenic Byway and All-American Road, which also
brings it bus service, albeit most buses are marketed towards tourists and the
costs are higher and service decreases or ceases in the winter. Seward is also
the southern terminus of the Alaska Railroad. This keeps the port busy with
freight coming on and off the trains, but also makes Seward a primary end point
for north-bound cruise ships. Cruise ship passengers get off the boats and take
the train farther north to Denali or other Alaskan attractions.
Seward Airport is home to general aviation services and flightseeing operators.
Scheduled commercial service is available at Kenai Municipal Airport in Kenai
and Ted Stevens Anchorage International Airport, both about 100 miles away.
Seasonal bus connections are also available.
