Several sections of Unalaska's Summer Bay Road beyond the landfill remain closed to vehicles after significant storm damage in late December 2025. The city is working with the Ounalashka Corporation and the State of Alaska to pursue state disaster funding.

Former Unalaska public works director Jeff Currier passed away unexpectedly on June 25th in his Anchorage home. The Curriers moved to Unalaska in 1979 and made a home here for nearly a decade. Moving to Unalaska started an adventure that provided incredible opportunities, valued friendships, and a way of life that the Curriers say offered each of them so very much.
