Moving in Whittier
Whittier is known for its distinctive geographical layout which often impacts the logistics of moving there. For instance, main roads connecting Whittier to other parts of Alaska such as the 2.5-mile Anton Anderson Memorial Tunnel often operate on strict schedules.
This road serves as the main route for most vehicles entering and leaving the town area but since it’s a one-way traffic road, it affects those relocating.
You’ll either get to your destination late or have a delayed delivery of your items primarily during peak hours. Additionally, the heavy rainfall (with approximately 197 inches annually) in Whittier leads to high precipitation levels which overall causes the roads to become slippery, increasing the risk of landslides mostly on the Portage Glacier Highway.
To avoid dealing with the mentioned challenges, you can enlist A Plus Moving help. We offer weather monitoring solutions, familiarity with Whittier’s roads and route planning to ensure you Alaska moving without difficulty.

Whittier City
What should you know before relocating to Whittier? The city has a population of over 200 people and a unique infrastructure. Most of the city’s residents stay in the Begich Towers which has a school, shops and a hospital. Whittier has limited housing, so you must go house hunting when it’s off-peak or before your move day to ensure that you get a good housing option.
As a potential mover, you should know about the city’s weather, which can change rapidly. For example, sudden storms and high winds are weather challenges that negatively influence relocations, causing delays in moving schedules.
However, our company offers a detailed moving plan and flexible moving dates that accommodate the weather conditions and the logistical challenges of moving to Whittier. We ensure you get enough guidance on what to expect and how to prepare for your move.
