[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Anchorage Alaska. I’m actually in that situation and was looking to move this summer but unfortunately daycare waitlists are multi year everywhere so it didn’t work out.  We’re going to try again in a year or so.[/quote]

My nieces and nephew are in Alaska. I would think twice about this unless you are an avid outdoors person (hunting, fishing, camping), involved in state/federal work, or really into nordic skiing/fat biking. My BIL and sister are in a tight spot now because the schools are really uneven, housing and everyday costs are high, and they can’t easily leave because the real estate market has them pinched and he can’t unload his share in his practice. The day care situation is real and extends to other things, too- costs are very high so it’s hard to staff daycares and lower wage facilities. As medical professionals they have access to the daycare affiliated with his hospital, but there were no other good options and they had to wait for that.

They also only have a few weeks that they can enjoy the long summer days because of the bugs, but that’s specific to certain lots and neighborhoods so do a LOT of research.[/quote]
