Fodor's Review:

Ketchikan's infamous red-light district once existed here. During Prohibition, Creek Street was home to numerous speakeasies, and, in the early 1900s, more than 30 houses of prostitution operated here. Today the small, colorful houses, built on stilts over the creek waters, have been restored as trendy shops. Sea kayakers often paddle up the creek at high tide.
