I'm always curious of how people move there.
Military?

20+ years ago, I got a wild hair on my ass. I was about 30 and wanted to go to the wide open places. I got a job as the public defender in a remote Alaska town and just fell in love with the place. Through work, I’ve been all over this state, from Kotzebue to Kodiak to Ketchikan and most points in between.
One Alaska Supreme Court justice wrote in 1975 that, essentially, many of our citizens come here seeking a degree of freedom and autonomy over their own lives that is just not available in sister states. And that’s true. This place is as much a state of mind as it is a physical place.
