Among the Lakes, Where the Railroad Met the Wagon Road
The Dena'ina knew the creek between Wasilla Lake and Cottonwood Lakes by a name meaning among the lakes, and the town takes its name from Chief Wasilla, a local Dena'ina leader. In 1917 the government planned the Alaska Railroad to cross the Carle Wagon Road here, and the new station drew business away from the mining town of Knik. Wasilla incorporated in 1974 and grew with the George Parks Highway, and from 1973 to 2002 the Iditarod started here, until reduced snow forced a move to Willow.

Wasilla Questions on Race Bibs
Do I need a pet license in Wasilla?
If you live in the Mat-Su Borough and your dog or cat is over six months old, the borough says to license it. You need the animal's information and a rabies certificate, and you can apply online or at the Animal Shelter.
How much is a Mat-Su pet license?
$15 for three years or $30 for life for a spayed or neutered pet, and $30 for three years or $60 for life if it is intact. A lifetime license needs proof of a microchip.
What does my pet need before the Mat-Su shelter releases it?
Under borough code 24.15.020, a borough resident's reclaimed pet leaves with a rabies vaccination, a microchip and a borough license. Ask the shelter for current reclaim fees.
Where is the Mat-Su Animal Shelter?
At 9470 E. Chanlyut Circle in Palmer, between the Central Landfill and the Recycle Center. The phone number is 907-761-7548.
Does a Mat-Su license move with my pet if I rehome it?
No. The borough says a license does not transfer, so the new owner registers the animal in their own name.
Can a Wasilla landlord refuse my emotional support animal?
Not because of your disability. AS 18.80.240 covers rentals statewide, so send a written request with your clinician's letter. A refusal can be reported to the State Commission for Human Rights within 300 days.
