Top Cities for Warehouses in Alaska

3rd Party Warehouse Services in Anchorage Alaska

Located in South Central Alaska, Anchorage is Alaska’s largest city with a population of over 291k. This is nearly 40 percent of the population of the entire State of Alaska.

Anchorage is connected via the Richardson Highway, Seward Highway and Glenn Highway, making trucking in these areas relatively easy for shipments to reach their destination.

However, the same cannot be said for territory further north or west as roadways become sparse and inclement weather poses significant challenges eight months of the year. The city is also home to the Ted Stevens Anchorage International Airport, which handles both freight and passenger flights, and is the 4th busiest airport in the world for cargo throughput.

Anchorage is also connected via train, including the Alaska Railroad Corporation and Alaska Train, which offers passenger service. Freight can also be processed at the Port of Alaska, located in Anchorage. In fact, 90 percent of cargo headed to another major Alaskan city, Fairbanks, is processed through the Port of Alaska in Anchorage as well. According to the Port of Alaska, approximately 74% of all water-transported cargo coming into South Central Alaska is processed through Anchorage, Alaska, and 70% of bypass mail shipments originate in the city of Anchorage, serving more than 250 Alaskan communities.

3PL Warehouses in Juneau Alaska

The Capital of the State of Alaska, Juneau is the State’s second-largest city with a population of approximately 32k. Juneau is located in the southwest of the state of Alaska, along the coast. It is a popular destination for tourists arriving via cruise ships. Juneau’s port is aptly named Juneau Port, and processes both cruise passengers and freight.

Juneau’s location along the southern coast of Alaska makes it one of the first stops in the state for sea cargo. It’s proximity to inland British Columbia also makes reaching the city via land easier and allows your goods to be both sent and received at the warehouse sooner. This can be especially advantageous for companies that ship internationally to Canada.

The City of Juneau is not far from the border of Canada, along the Province of British Columbia. It is accessible via Rte. 7. Juneau has an airport, the Juneau International Airport, which offers both cargo and passenger flights.
