Local Alaska updates: Fairbanks is planning a summer downtown push—chalets for rotating vendors, free music, a skate park, and a Chena River dock—plus volunteer “ambassadors” for visitors. Aviation & tourism: Port of Bellingham set dates for a 30-day runway closure in summer 2027, and Alaska Airlines is facing a lawsuit over severe turbulence that allegedly injured passengers and crew. Community & culture: Whittier got state approval to buy strategic Alaska Railroad land parcels, while Ketchikan school leaders are preparing for budget cuts.
