Second-largest city in the Mat-Su Borough, gateway to the Iditarod Trail, and one of Alaska's fastest-growing commuter communities for Anchorage workers.

A conditional use permit for up to 63 affordable housing units in North Star Estates—Wasilla's largest affordable housing proposal in recent memory—goes before the Planning Commission June 9, with the full application record now public and a June 2 comment deadline creating a narrow window for resident input on traffic, infrastructure, and neighborhood impacts.

The City of Wasilla has opened bids for asphalt patching on city roads without disclosing which streets will be repaired, leaving residents unable to determine if their neighborhoods are included in the $50,000 to $250,000 contract.

Alaska State Troopers and Wasilla Police stopped Wyatt Baker, 21, of Anchorage just after midnight Tuesday after he ran red lights and stop signs at speeds above 80 mph near Lucille Street. Baker faces flight and drug charges and is held without bail at Mat-Su Pretrial in Palmer.
