Several nearby communities have their own pages with local phone numbers. Eagle River sits just northeast of Anchorage and is part of the same municipality, though it has some separate community services. Wasilla and Palmer are in the neighboring Matanuska-Susitna Borough. Wasilla is about 45 miles north of Anchorage along the Parks Highway, and Palmer is the borough seat for Mat-Su. Each city has its own court, police, and clerk contacts.

Note: The Anchorage municipality covers about 1,706 square miles, so some communities within its borders are quite spread out.
