Girdwood.com’s Latest Local’s Story

Girdwood’s own Andrea Anderson wrote a fun story about her family’s transitions during Alaska’s changing seasons.

Girdwood stories are so fun to read. You may just learn something new about Girdwood, a fellow Girdwoodian, or some other nearby part of Alaska you’ve never been.

Read Andrea’s story on Girdwood.com, and enjoy!
