Unalaska overlooks Iliuliuk Bay and Dutch Harbor on Unalaska Island in the Aleutian Chain. It lies 800 air from Anchorage and 1700 miles northwest of Seattle. The population of the community consists of 9.3% Alaska Native or part Native. Subsistence activities remain important to the Unangan community and many long-term non-Native residents as well. About half the people in the community are directly involved in the fishing industry and over 90% of the jobs depend on commercial fishing in some way. The Port of Dutch Harbor is considered to be the busiest commercial fishing port in the United States, servicing over 600 vessels including: trawlers, long-liners, crab boats, cargo ships, floating factory processors, and even the occasional cruise ship.
