Casea Peterson grew up archery hunting, fishing, and camping throughout the Pacific Northwest. Motivated by her love for the outdoors she moved to Alaska to attend school and to spend time exploring the last frontier. If she doesn’t have a pen in hand or her nose in a book, she can be found out on a lake or up in the woods around a fire with friends.

So please enjoy some of these really amazing works of architecture that are scattered around our equally amazing state.

Is this not the most spectacular library you've ever set eyes on?! I can't believe the beautiful work of Bettisworth North for the Ketchikan Library. I've got to visit one day.
