The Faces Behind my Success
district 21
West Anchorage is a great place to live, work, and raise a family. Near Anchorage’s Coastal Trail and Kincaid Park, District 21 provides residents unparalleled access to top-notch walking, skiing, and biking trails in Anchorage. The district is home to Ted Stevens Anchorage International Airport—Alaska’s largest passenger hub and a key economic engine for Anchorage. I always enjoy seeing friends and neighbors on our trails.
