Local conditions in Ketchikan
Serving Ketchikan and the surrounding area.
Local housing stock
Close to nine in ten of the housing here predates 1990 — 87.9 percent of it — and construction settles around a median year of 1971. A 1971 median with 87.9 percent of units predating 1990, much of it frame on pilings and locked retaining walls, stacked up a hillside so steep that streets switchback above the docks.
Climate & seasonal risk
Ketchikan averages 157.27 inches of precipitation a year on the 1991–2020 normals, taken at BEAVER FALLS 0.9 miles away, with November the wettest month at 19.46 inches. November leads at 19.46 inches of a 157.27 inch year. There is no dry month that matters. Water arrives as rain, as runoff from the timber immediately above town, and as spray off the Narrows, and wood in this climate is wet as a default, not as an event.
Common moisture and mold problems in Ketchikan
- A 157-inch year with a November peak near 20 inches and no recovery season for wood
- Hillside switchbacks concentrating timber runoff onto the uphill wall of every house below
- Piling and lock-block foundations in muskeg that never drains in the ordinary sense
- Salt spray off the Tongass Narrows driving corrosion in flashings on 1970s stock
