Any chance you’ve noticed some of that termination dust creeping down the mountains? Well, it really put some things into perspective for us this morning. As we come to terms with the end of the summer, we’re scrambling to get a few things ready for winter. And these businesses can help with that!

Ash Street Services LLC: They’ll help you get through those last weeks of lawn maintenance AND clear the snow from your driveway once that termination dust creeps into your driveway.

Alaska Ready Landscaping LLC: Are you already dreading the task of shoveling your own driveway? Well, you’re only one phone call away from that not being a thing anymore!

Denali Service Center: Live in the Denali area and need to get your vehicle ready for those dreadfully cold winter months? You’ll be in good hands with this automotive and tire repair shop based in Healy.

Vincent Heating Systems: Do you need to replace your heater this winter? Maybe want to check out what this life-changing in-floor radiant heat is all about? Check this Ketchikan business out immediately!

Winter is coming! Don’t forget to support your favorite local businesses today and every day! And remember, we’ve got a directory full of businesses grown right here in Alaska at www.buyalaska.com.

Tourist season is here, Alaska. ☀️

The cruise ships are rolling in. The RVs are multiplying. Someone is already wearing a puffy jacket in 65-degree weather.

This is your friendly reminder that every dollar spent at an Alaska-owned business helps keep our communities thriving long after the visitors head home.

So grab your coffee from a local café. Pick up gifts from local makers. Book the local guide. Eat at the family-owned restaurant. Shop like you live here.

Because if we're going to share Alaska with the world, we might as well make sure Alaska benefits from it.

Spend like a local. Support local. ❤️

Google Maps: "You have arrived."

Alaska: "Not even close."

This Member Moment Monday is for the guides, captains, storytellers, and outdoor pros who know that the best parts of Alaska aren't marked with a pin drop. They're found down the road less traveled, beyond cell service, and somewhere between "trust me" and "wow."

Because sometimes the most important piece of gear on your adventure isn't your phone.

It's a local.

Some decisions in life are tough.

This is not one of them.

☕ Coffee or 🥐 Bakery?
🎣 Wild-caught salmon or 🫎 Fresh game?
📚 Bookstore or 🎁 Gift shop?

Actually... okay, some of these are pretty tough.

Cast your votes in the comments and let's see where Alaska stands. No judgment. (Unless you skip the Alaska-made chocolate. Then we're going to have questions. 🍫👀

Wanna play tourist this summer? ☀️ This Member Moment Monday is dedicated to the guides who make visitors fall in love with Alaska and remind the rest of us why we never left.

Skip the boring bus-tour energy. Running Fox Tour Co. helps you experience Nome the way a local does, with Gold Rush stories, coastal views, and plenty of fascinating history along the way. Because "I saw it through a windshield" is not exactly a travel highlight. 🦊🌊✨

Want to see Alaska's wildlife without starring in your own survival documentary? Lighthouse Excursions takes you cruising through Ketchikan's stunning waterways past totem poles, a historic lighthouse, and plenty of eagles, seals, sea lions, and maybe even whales if they're feeling social. 🦅🐋🚤

Touch grass... professionally. 🌲✨ Natural Connections blends mental health therapy with the healing power of Southeast Alaska's great outdoors, offering counseling, group adventures, and meaningful connection in nature. Turns out "go outside" hits differently when it's backed by a trained therapist.

Private tour, local guide, zero “everyone back on the bus in 7 minutes” energy. Blueberry Tours serves up Southcentral Alaska’s glaciers, wildlife, coastal views, and hidden gems at your pace, with stories from someone who actually knows the place. 🫐🏔️🚐

🦸 Some heroes are still getting dropped off at practice.

Across Alaska, young people are making a real difference in their communities. They're organizing fundraisers, helping neighbors, volunteering their time, and stepping up when they see a need.

That's why Alaska Communications created the Summer of Heroes program: to recognize youth ages 6-18 who are making Alaska a better place, not for the recognition, but because they care.

Selected heroes will receive a $2,000 education scholarship through and be recognized in their local community.

Know a young hero who deserves the spotlight?
✨ Nominate them by June 14, 2026 through the links in the bio!

“Local places never have anything.”

Famous last words before the online order shows up late, wrong, and wildly disappointing. 😬

Shop local first. Future you will be grateful.

Farmer’s market season is officially entering the chat, and we are ready for fresh veggies, handmade goods, local treats, and running into everyone we know before 10 a.m.

Now we need to know: which Alaska market vendor are you most excited to see again this season?

Tag them in the comments so we can all collectively plan our snack, produce, flower, art, soap, jam, jewelry, coffee, and “I wasn’t going to buy anything but here we are” budgets accordingly.

Shop local first. Market season waits for no one.

A little BuyAlaska throwback from the 90s, when the fonts were bold, the ads were iconic, and shopping local was still the assignment.

No Wi-Fi. No Instagram. No “add to cart.” Just Alaska businesses, community pride, and probably a fax machine working overtime.

The vibes have changed. The mission has not.

Shop local first. Buy Alaska.

When it’s almost tourist season and your regulars have already added your shop to their family’s Alaska itinerary. 💃🕺

There is no hype team quite like a loyal local customer with relatives coming up from the Lower 48.

This summer, let’s make it easier for visitors to find the Alaska businesses locals already know and love. If you own an Alaska-based business, get listed in the BuyAlaska Business Directory so tourists, locals, cousins, aunties, and that one friend who “might move here someday” can find you first.

Your regulars are already doing the word-of-mouth work. BuyAlaska can help back them up.

📍 Get listed in the BuyAlaska Business Directory today!
