Today's Sponsor: Matson

Good afternoon. It’s Tuesday, Sept. 15.

In today's newsletter:

  • Incumbent U.S. Sen. Dan Sullivan and challenger Mary Peltola faced off over their fisheries records, addressing wasteful bycatch by trawlers, high fuel costs that are hurting fishermen, and salmon shortages that have reduced openers.

  • Fire crews responding to a blaze at a new, $80 million cruise ship dock in Whittier yesterday say they encountered no working hydrants in the area.

  • Alaskans overwhelmingly voted in favor of creating new limits on contributions to candidates. But another initiative that will appear on the November ballot would delete one of the newly adopted statutes, creating legal ambiguity.

When so much of working life is routine, it’s nice to infuse your day with a bit of fun and novelty with a tasty lunch. These 11 simple lunch recipes are meals you’ll actually be excited to pack, from salads and sandwiches to wraps and noodles.

Anchorage weather


It's overcast and raining today with a high near 61 degrees, and there's a wind advisory in place through Wednesday afternoon calling for gusts up to 40 or 50 mph. Wednesday will be partly sunny, while rain returns to the forecast on Thursday.

Here’s what else is making headlines in Alaska today.
