hi im looking to get a job up in alasaka as a deckhand and i read that some fishing boats in seattle may give you a ride to alaska in exchange for work along the way.. im wondering if anyone could tell when the boats leave and come back, as i'd rather not fly to seattle and be stuck there for a month with no money. thanx

do you know anything about being a deckhand? anything about boats? fishing? Alaska?
I lived in Seattle for 5 years and spent some time walking around Fishermens Terminal in Ballard. Most of the fishing boats that head to Alaska for the fishing/crabbing season dock at Fishermans Terminal during the off season.
This is located here: http://maps.google.com/maps?f=q&source=s_q&hl=en&geocode=&q=fishermans+terminal%3B+seattle&aq=&sll=47.673942,-122.387009&sspn=0.11397,0.219383&gl=us&ie=UTF8&hq=fishermans+terminal%3B&hnear=Seattle,+King,+Washington&ll=47.663769,-122.360573&spn=0.113992,0.219383&t=h&z=12&iwloc=A
i do not know approximate leave and arrival times for the boats. your best bet is to dig around online for when the season begins and then maybe make a call up to one of the fishing outfits in Ballard and straight up ask them when they usually send out their boats for the season.
i'm sure you already know this but fishing brings no guarantees with it. a successful season depends on whose the captain of the ship. if you get a lazy ass alcoholic for a captain (which the fishing industry is full of) you'll not catch many fish and in turn make no money.
find a good captain, gain his trust and have a blast!

"We are all intoxicated. We were born into an insane asylum, a world crazy-making. We believe what we see and hear. The real myth is the myth of sanity, of rationality: it's a disease that is eating away at the earth. All the poisons flow from our denial. We deny madness, we forget our crimes, we dismember the corpse, we imprison our children. We need poison to poison the poison, to remember the sacred nature of intoxication, the green body of the young god." ~ Dale Pendell
