Shop
Look past the jewelry row on Front Street to Creek Street galleries, a Tsimshian artist's studio, an indie bookstore and the salmon shops that will ship smoked fillets home.
Local Shopping
Star Gallery
Evon Zerbetz's gallery in the old Star dance hall on Creek Street, and the shop where you'll find Ray Troll's fish art.

Small independent bookstore by the Stedman Street bridge, stocked heavily with Alaska titles and local authors.

Walking map: the berths and downtown Ketchikan
The four city berths run along Front Street, numbered 1 to 4 from south to north. Creek Street, the Tongass Historical Museum and the salmon ladder are a short walk south and east, and the Totem Heritage Center is about 15 to 20 minutes on foot or a free summer shuttle ride.
