The State of Alaska is auctioning off land in a new subdivision near Sitka. It’s part of Sitka’s first state land sale in over 25 years, according to records from the Department of Natural Resources.
The Department of Natural Resources opened bids on the remaining parcels in the Nakwasina Sound Subdivision at the end of March. The sale is part of a statewide land auction of over 200 lots.
Land Sales Team Lead Justin Wholey said the state puts land up for sale once or twice a year and tries to offer parcels all around the state.

The end of the calendar year means the end of sport hunting for deer in Sitka but the subsistence season continues through January.
The changeover has always created a bit of confusion among hunters.
Note: Federal Subsistence Hunting Regulations can be downloaded online. Print copies of the regs are also available at local sporting goods stores.
