I was walking down the street in Seward when I came across the Russian Store. It's not the kind of…read morestore I'd expect and some of the stuff in the window looked interesting so I stepped inside. This store was really cool. They had a lot of Russian stuff, but also some Alaskan stuff too. As for the Russian stuff, they had Soviet era hats and pins, propaganda posters, Russian lacquer boxes, Russian stacking dolls, and stuff like that. They also had carvings which I found interesting. It's an interesting store and is worth a stop.

Although nothing is made in house, they have a lot of old-fashioned favorites, weird and unusual favorites and hard to find treats. Some items are sold by the pound and others are individually prices. I bought a few hard to find old fashioned favorites for my husband and a small sample of bizarre salt water flavors like curried coconut, POG, pumpkin pie, chili mango, honey lavender and egg not. The gentleman behind the counter was very nice and I enjoyed our convo; I'll stop just for that reason alone. Definitely recommend.

This is one the most unique thrift store we visited in Alaska. The girl behind the counter was…read morehelpful and friendly. The inventory was vast, interesting, and reasonably priced. My daughter found some great souvenirs for herself and her friends. She found a cool blouse; unique earrings (ducklings, fork and spoon) and a little bag with delicate embroidery in the front. My wife found the perfect souvenir for herself, an awesome fitted, hooded, sweatshirt with Seward Alaska printed in the back. She also found an interesting book made by Life Magazine about mysterious places and people in the world. This store is organized and clean and do not have the chaotic atmosphere of most thrift stores. We are definitely coming back next time we are in Alaska. I highly recommend this to everyone.

This library punches above its weight! It has features that other public libraries three times its…read moresize could benefit from having. The downstairs museum is a must stop for first time visitors to Seward and gets you immediately up to speed with the history and pivotal events and figures who helped to shape what this town has become. There are a few onsite movies you can watch and also a community center downstairs that was well in use by a gaggle of children when we dropped in on a Saturday. If you're wandering around town in the cold and possibly in need of a public restroom, this is a warm haven you'll appreciate! Upstairs features internet stations, charging stations for mobile devices, and private booths for taking calls (SUPER useful if you're working remotely or while you travel). The book selection is well maintained and ample enough to likely have something you're interested in picking up.
