ROOFTOP RETREAT – Seagulls jockey for space on top of the Westmark Hotel roof this afternoon. It’s the time of the year for the birds to feed on spawning salmon at Indian River and to use Sitka’s three-story buildings as spaces to digest their meals. (Sentinel Photo by James Poulson)

Daily Sitka Sentinel
Thanks to the generosity and expertise of the the Central Council of Tlingit and Haida Indian Tribes of Alaska broadband department, Tidal Network ; Christopher Cropley, director of Tidal Network; and Luke Johnson, Tidal Network technician, SitkaSentinel.com is again being updated. Tidal Network has been working tirelessly to install Starlink satellite equipment for city and other critical institutions, including the Sentinel, following the sudden breakage of GCI's fiberoptic cable on August 29, which left most of Sitka without internet or phone connections. CCTHITA's public-spirited response to the emergency is inspiring.
