Tatsuda’s had just celebrated their 103 year anniversary a few months before the rocks came crashing down in the back I was employed there when it happened and Safeway hired us all on at their store with our same hourly wage and our normal schedule and the company that have been harvesting the rocks for landscaping etc., paid The Tatsuda’s for the loss of their store since Mr. Tatsuda didn’t have landslide insurance he however had everything else covered but that . Hope that helped 😀😇
Thank you for taking us to visit this amazing town in Alaska how fun it must have been I enjoyed it very much thank you for all you do God bless take care and I love you too
Thank you so much for taking us along on such an awesome visit to this island of Ketchikan. You are an amazing tour guide, Lauren! I'm so glad you and Mark had this chance to get away!!! 🌼
Possibly moving there, definitely looking forward to this video!
Hope you found it helpful!
These prices are about the same or lower than what we pay in California where most things are more expensive, including our taxes.
Love these vlogs!Thank you to Lauren and Mark for taking us all along on another beautiful trip with y'all ❤️
What a Beautiful part of the World. Thank you for the TH-cam postcard
Alaska is beautiful I know grocery prices aren’t the best look around you though you can live off the land so many food sources different salmon ,fish,crab etc and much more. I would love to live that type of life
What a cute place to visit. Scenery is amazing. Thanks for sharing. 😊
Food. Prices were not too bad. Eating out a bit pricey, but eating out anywhere is pricey !! Looked like lots of fun !! 😀😀😀😀😀😀
We live in central Florida. We can get 90/10 ground sirloin in a chub for about $3.25/lb at Sam's. Our eggs at the warehouse club are over $10 for 36. The produce, chips, milk, etc are all about what we pay.
Just went to Wal-Mart for my once a month visit! Picked up birthday presents for my granddaughters party tomorrow and checked out baby clothes! Gender reveal along with the birthdays tomorrow. Team BOY!!!
Happy Birthday and a Gender reveal 💙💗 Congratulations to the Parents to be.
Co grats grandparents
You and your husband make a great team! Loved both your videos about Ketchikan, it glistens in the sunlight, so gorgeous! Sad story about the supermarket that had to permanently close, thanks for sharing that and everything you did on this trip.
I was born and raised here!! Both sides of my family are well known though most are gone now. I left in 2018. Trying to get back. I miss it.
Hello Lauren!! Love the video!! Looks like you two had a good time !!!❤️
I appreciate the history of the Tatsuda's grocery store 😞
Always love seeing prices in different places
Ketchikan Gateway Borough population is around 13,700. A popular place to purchase local seafood is Fish from Trish. Our local Walmart is going thru a refit. Summer daytime shopping at Wal-Mart is challenging, very crowded with ship crew, they clean out the candy, nuts, chips and cookies. 😃. We usually stick to evening Wal-Mart trips. Glad you were able to enjoy some of our beautiful summer.
Thanks for the insights! We were told 8,000 for the city and around 13,000 for the Borough. Thanks for clarifying! My viewers just like to see stores in Alaska so I try to show them when I travel and when I shop locally! Thanks for watching
Wow, what a beautiful little place! Gorgeous day! Thank you for taking me on this journey! This is a place I'd like to visit!😊
Thank you so much for showing us the food options and prices in this town! It is so informative especially when trying to plan our budget for traveling. I appreciate all the effort you put into this video! Thank you again!
I love these videos. I appreciate you showing us more of your beautiful state. My thoughts are with the people of Alaska who will be affected by the typhoon.
We are 🙏 with you from Australia 🇦🇺
It is BEAUTIFUL! How wonderful that you were blessed with a sunny day that showed off Ketchikan so well. Crab has gotten exorbitant, but I still think for that price you should get more than 45 minutes to eat. Some of us are just slow eaters, lol. 😀 Thank you for sharing this gorgeous place.
I loved the restaurant looking out on the harbor at the seals. I couldn't imagine how exciting that would be to experience in real life. I loved seeing Ketchikan, Alaska. You highlighted it's stores, restaurants, cafes, & were amazing with the history of the Tatsuda family owned store. So goad you & your Husband were able to enjoy yourselves at these various places. Enjoyed seeing everything with you both. Loved it!
That's "glad" not Goad, sorry. It's the notebook.
I really enjoyed your video , I know I had already said it but I just wanted to let you know again 😀 it truly is a wonderful little island full of life and folks from all walks of life my husband and our son go on a lot of hikes with a few of our friends and take our boat out for fishing sometimes we’ll leave for a few days or so, and my son and I will do the grocery shopping and decide on our menu and keep a night open for the fresh catch of the day our boat sleeps 4 a nice 25ft boat loaded for fishing we have a fish finder that came with the boat but we chuckle when someone asks how it works on finding fish , we don’t need one , my husband was born and raised in Camas, Washington
I’ve eaten at that crepe place! We had a savory crepe. It was delicious! We bought authentic totem poles in a totem pole shop right around there. Thank you for posting!
At Crazy Wolf Studio? 😍
I miss Tatsuda's!
Ketchikan reminds me so much of Wellington New Zealand.
Thank you for your video I enjoyed how you two presented my hometown to the YT channel 😀 hope all is well and Merry Christmas 🎄🎁
Love your Alaska life videos. ❤️ I hope I will be able to visit Alaska some day. It's so beautiful. Thanks for sharing 👍
Thank you for sharing. What a beautiful day.. Its on my bucket list to visit..

I've never seen your channel before but your opening first part with you guys walking ..for those that remember I thought DAVID CARRADINE MUCH!! I thought it was him!!🤣🤣 great video thanks!!
Hi Lauren and Mark, what a lovely video. The town is quaint and the views are stunning....very similar to the north-west of Scotland. Alaska is a gorgeous place, no wonder you love living there xx
I must be alaskan I love my coffee
Wat heb ik weer genoten van jullie reisverhalen en watis alaska mooi bedankt voor deze video
Wonderful video totally enjoyed it.
Heyyyy here watching and Happy Friday thanks for sharing 😊
What a beutifull trip, so nice to see you and mark, sharing some quality time together, dafinatly needed, no doubt! I know you probably missed the boy's, as parents we always do, but looked like a wonderfull time!x🇬🇧🤗🙏🇬🇧
Good afternoon happy Friday love your videos
Hi Lauren, I really enjoyed this video, you two are such good narrators, I really liked the location, Alaska is such a beautiful place, you're so lucky to live there, I realise its hard in the winter though. BTW that crepe looked awesome!
thank you this was so fun and i learned a lot thank you for doing this
What a great way to start the video with such a beautiful view. I was shocked by some of those grocery prices 😮 the gas is pretty pricey too. Here in Connecticut it's between 3.30-3.50. Thanks for sharing everything what a neat little city
I was supposed to go to Ketchikan some years ago with my family while on a cruise. Unfortunately the ship was unable to dock due to the weather. My nephew was especially upset because he was going to go fishing. He loves fishing and after doing so in Hawaii he was so excited to in Alaska as well. Oh well it gives him an excuse to go back😉!
I love these vlogs! I’m honestly surprised at how low some of the prices are at Safeway! Pretty comparable to northern New Jersey! Ketchikan looks so beautiful!! Thanks for sharing!!
PS…I love my kizik!!!! Thank you!
I’m so glad to hear that!!
What?! No sales tax? Ours is almost 10%!! Local, state taxes.
Our McDonalds,just before the covid pandemic, remodeled, It is quite clean and beautiful. Thkz for the tour of Ketchikan. We were on the Ruby Princess 6 years ago.
It is so beautiful.
I was on a cruise that stopped here. I took a rain forest tour. It did not rain while I was there. We were told they had just had a week straight of rain.
Jitters in Eagle River is the only place I go for coffee, if I am in Anchorage I go to a Kaladis.. I will go to Soda amd smores for a bag of pebble ice 🙂
Hello Hamm Family ❤️
Still can't believe how beautiful it is there, but everytime I hear the pricetag for things, my heart stops and my brain malfunctions. LoL. Thank you for sharing. It was a good start to my evening of relaxation. Had a very busy day of cleaning up and reorganizing all the drawers in the house, checking the pantry, washing and drying clothes, etc. I'm pooped. It was nice to sit down, sip some tea and watch your video. Now, I'm going to go curl up with a book. Have a Blessed and Happy Weekend. Shabbat Shalom ❤️
Hell Susan! You deserve to sit down with a good book, that sounds like a very productive day. Hope you have a wonderful weekend! I am using the marinade that you suggested on our steaks tonight! Orange chicken and yoshidas!
@@ThisAlaskaLife , thank you. Tell me how you like the marinade. Lee, our Fellowship Leader and Main Grill Meister, uses it. We enjoy it with potatoes of some sort, broccoli, a salad and some sort of homemade bread/rolls, Challah on the Sabbath. Oh, and dessert. Can't forget that. I'm the Cheesecake Queen, as Mark and Lee call me. LoL. Enjoy your dinner and your weekend. Back to my book... that is if I can get Dakota, the cat, to remove his royal furriness off of it 😻
Really fun vid very Informative
Hello. Looks like you and Mark had great day. Can’t believe how beautiful it is. I love watching all your videos.
That Walmart is not a super Walmart which is why it doesn’t have fresh produce. So many of them are now super stores. We used to have both where I live and now they are both super stores. I would love to visit some day, my sister has visited there and loves it. I love all the places you show when you visit other places
It looks beautiful x
It is interesting that you say Safeway is expensive. I personally have never been in one as I am not sure we have them in Ohio but I have friends allover that shop at them and they consider them a kind of a discount store? Like I said though I really don't know much about them. Truthfully I didn't think the prices were that off from many of the items you showed that we pay here in Ohio. I was really surprised. The A&P store...that was a bit pricey but it was nice to see some of the bulk items were available. Might have to do a little math with the two stored though if you have a larger family to see if the items really are a deal though. McDonalds believe it or not wasn't that far off either. I love your adventures and thanks for bring me/us along! I would really love to visit someday and really helps with deciding my possible adventure!! And that crab feast...OMG!! YUM! For years we went to a hole in the wall local hang out bar/restaurant on the gulf coast in Florida when on vacation for all you can eat crab leg night. The biggest legs I had ever seen. They stopped it the year before covid because of the cost of crab and then covid. Apparently it is slowly coming back. Fingers crossed all be good next summer when we go. Always a highlight for my family!!
Aww man. Nice moves Mark 😂
Scotland for salmon is known as the go to place
wow awesome video thanks for sharing love from pa
I can believe the cost of products being high because of cruise ships but honestly all your food and drinks are included in the cruise fee. We never bought any food or drink thst didn't happen to be included in the excursion we were on. Just a thought.
Hope you are safe from the storm coming towards Alaska!
P!ease be safe.
Thanks Peggy! We are fine so far!
Gas I Louisiana is hovering around 3 a gallon. Our groceries are pretty expensive and our taxes are 10%.
Those tomatoes at Safeway cost 4 something at Sam's here in South Carolina USA
So enjoyed watching this video,,by the way they should hire you as a Spoke Person for Ketchikan you really made that place so inviting an the views where wonderful. Thank you for sharing your time with us,,Great video.
What about the fish prices at the supermarket? Salmon, lingcod, etc.
Hello from Ohio, love your videos ❤
Hi my beauty lauren, good to see you.
There's a 3 Bears now in Saxman.
Very close to Delaware prices.. we have a huge Port in our City that everything comes via Boat normally. Our fruit is usually cheaper..but right now Bananas 🍌 are $0.23-$0.25 each. Eggs for 5 dozen are $10.02 they were $9.84 2 wks ago. Inflation is unbelievable
i’m from a tropical country, so the prices of some of those tropical fruits really shock me
Does Anchorage get most of its food by Ship as well? Or do trucks bring in food thru Canada even in winter
Since this video Walmart has been completely rearranged and new flooring and there’s a electronic store called AllTek across from the mall and a small one in the mall but the majority of the population goes to Walmart not only because the prices are way better but a much larger selection 😀
I heard about the storm coming to Alaska hope you guys are doing well .
I love shopping at walmart and some time i will eat Mcdonalds too
The Walmart is how ours used to be (in Aberdeen, WA) before they upgraded it to a Super store
👏👏👏👏👏👏
I know things are going up everywhere, I think Alaska is high prices anyways because of the way things have to be transferred in .
Arggg I wish you showed use what your canning jars were
how can you survive without coffee ??? coffee is life lol ....... thanks for this amazing tour !
91 was 479 then labor day was 411 now back up459 yesterday 9/15
I was born and raised in Ketchikan! Fun to watch your video…. 🙂 My grandmother lived up the hill from the grocery store (on 3rd avenue). When I was 3 years old my dad said I tried stealing a candy bar at that store…. Got caught and got in big trouble!
Me too! Known wasy home town also. Worked at tatsudas,and tyre airlines in the 70 s. Grad of kayhi 79 Go Kings !
I was born there too! Though my family moved while I was still young. Hope to go back soon
For fresh edibles and meats, I am shock to say that my prices, from South Dakota, would be about the same as the ones in Alaska, outside a few cents cheaper for certain items.
Be careful I just saw the weather report and you are getting the worst storm ever recorded for Alaska I will be watching these videos have been great I travel thru you all.
Seems to be the same prices as here in Eagle River with in a dollar or 2
mangos samehere I az ( we live in nv but shop in az or go to Las vegas)
Do you have any videos on the job industry? I am trying to figure out how do people pay for the high cost of living?
Outside of Olympia, WA gas is $4.99 a gallon.
In NZ we call rain boots 'gumboots'
The Safeway prices are EXACTLY the same as Washington.
I’m guessing that was more of a basic Walmart and not so much the Walmart supercenters we’re all so accustomed to these days. I can’t even remember if the old Walmarts had a freezer section, it’s been so long.
Never heard of the Denali Mac, had to Google it, we def don’t have those down here
Was that a homeless man on the floor as you were walking out of Safeway/Vons? Wow. I’m sorry but I live in Los Angeles and we have a huge problem. For some reason this just surprised me. I don’t think I’ve ever noticed it before in prior videos.
Hello Katherine. We have a very large homeless problem in Alaska. I don't know about Ketchikan but it is a big problem in Anchorage and very dangerous when the temperature starts to drop!
The produce, meat, and dairy are on par with California Bay Area.
We can get 2 loaves of bread for2 pounds ( 2 dollars 30 cents ) in Scotland your fresh fruit and veg is really expensive
Absolutely gorgeous
Who would want to move away from a window view like that to live by?
Honesty prices are the same as here in Oregon
My Nephew works at that store
Alaska is a lot like canada, always expensive. All the states lower then canada often are cheaper in one way or another. When I lived in British Columbia, we traveled to washington for cheaper groceries. Let the canadians tell you how much cheaper it is in those southern states. If the canadians are coming down, its cheaper. Since Canada is more expensive then the US and we pay taxes on dairy that the US doesn't. Dairy is always cheaper in the US and one of the most common items to bring back. We import most of our food too. Alaska would be in similar pricing as much of Canada.
