Skaguay News Depot & Books is a year-round independent bookstore at 208 Broadway, open 9 am to 6 pm daily in summer, with a winter schedule. Google Maps lists a wheelchair-accessible entrance, and 2011 Street View shows the shop door set back from the wooden boardwalk with no visible step, but door width, aisle space and restrooms aren't known; a 2016 Juneau Empire story describes a small shop that can fill with 35 to 40 people on busy summer days. Downtown boardwalks get very crowded on cruise days from May to September, and the SW 2nd & Broadway SMART stop is about a block away. Not checked on-site by AbleVu.
