I lived in the San Juan Islands for a year, which are off the northwest coast of Washington state, and I lived in Alaska for 6 years. While I didn't live in the Sitka area, I did a lot of reading about all parts of Alaska, as well as the history of the times when it was 'owned' by Russia.

I'm hoping The Sea Runners makes it to my library sometime this week.
