King Cove (Aleut: Agdaaĝux̂)[4] is a city in Aleutians East Borough, Alaska, United States.
King Cove, 600 nautical miles (1,000 km) SW of Anchorage at the end of the Alaska Peninsula, is home to PeterPan Seafoods' largest processing facility.
King Cove's economy depends almost completely on the year-round commercial fishing and seafood processing industries.
A locally based FAA certificated Part 135 company called Eider Air provides on demand air-taxi service and charter operations to villagers and visitors.
It is also served by the Alaska Marine Highway, the state-run ferry service which connects it with Cold Bay in the west and Sand Point in the east.
[10] A partially completed road between King Cove and Cold Bay is awaiting approval through the United States Department of the Interior.
According to a report generated by The Wilderness Society, the road would cause irreparable damage to the Izembek National Wildlife Refuge.
[11] The previous negative decision by former Interior Secretary Sally Jewell is being reconsidered to include a land swap.
Opponents contend the road's main purpose is, as it always has been, to provide a link between King Cove and a nearby airport for commercial reasons.
No evidence has been put forward to support a road would be safer in difficult weather condition than air transport.
[13] In 2020, Zinke's successor as Interior Secretary, David Bernhardt, approved a revised land swap agreement, and specifically responded to those environmental concerns; U.S. District Court Judge John W. Sedwick blocked the revised land swap agreement as well, on the grounds that Secretary Bernhardt's response to the environmental issues was inadequate.
The clinic is open Monday through Friday during normal business hours, closed for all Alaskan and Federal holidays.
