The Wasilla, Alaska Lifestyle
About Wasilla, Alaska
Wasilla’s residents consider their city, quite simply, “the Best of Alaska!” Wasilla became widely known during the 2008 U.S. Presidential election as the home of Sarah Palin. It is the commercial and retail center for Alaska’s fastest-growing area, the beautiful Matanuska-Susitna Borough (more simply, the "Mat-Su Valley") in South-central Alaska. This area is the state’s major agricultural region.
