Whittier is a unique coastal city in Alaska, situated at the head of the Passage Canal in Prince William Sound. The city's most distinctive feature is that nearly all of its residents live in a single 14-story building called Begich Towers, originally built as military housing in 1956. The town is accessible primarily through a single 2.5-mile tunnel, the Anton Anderson Memorial Tunnel, which is shared by both vehicles and trains.
The community's history is deeply connected to World War II, when it was established as a military supply port and railroad terminus. Today, Whittier serves as an important port for cruise ships and fishing vessels, while also supporting a local fishing industry. The town's dramatic setting, surrounded by glaciers and the Chugach Mountains, reflects the raw natural beauty characteristic of Alaska.
The community maintains a small but resilient cultural presence, with its history preserved through local artifacts and stories of its military past and subsequent development as a civilian port town.
