The 49th Estate: Coastal Trail lookout

The 49th Estate is our answer to MTV's "Cribs," a weekly tour of Alaska homes and interviews with their owners.


Bill Walker raised four children in an Anchorage home that overlooks the Tony Knowles Coastal Trail. Walker grew up in a Delta Junction home without plumbing, so his West Anchorage digs are a little more comfortable. Summer nights at the Walkers' mean soccer and basketball in the backyard, and in winter it's time for hockey and maybe a quick ski on the Coastal Trail. Walker is also running for governor, and some of his favorite memories are from when his family hosted the late Wally Hickel for dinner and got to hear stories about the Hickels' early courtship.

Each week, The 49th Estate takes a look inside a different Alaska home. Alaska Dispatch does not endorse the views or opinions expressed by the subjects of these videos. If you have an interesting Alaska home you think we'd like to see, e-mail jsaul(at)alaskadispatch.com.
