About White Knight Services

Downtown Sitka runs narrow between the harbor and the hillside, past the blue dome of St. Michael's and the totem poles standing along the water, and a snowfall here behaves differently on every block depending on how close it sits to the water's moderating pull. White Knight Services clears driveways and parking areas through that compact downtown grid, along with the approach to the O'Connell Bridge that carries traffic over to Japonski Island. Sidewalks near the harbor front get shoveled and sanded so visitors and residents alike can still walk the waterfront safely. Steps up the hillside streets behind downtown, steeper than most of the flat harbor blocks, get special attention where ice tends to form first. The work usually wraps before the tide turns, the docked fishing boats sitting quiet under a rare coat of white.
