Where Is Sarah Palin's Hometown?

So. Sarah Palin. She's Alaska's 11th governor--it's only been a state since 1959!--and before that she was the mayor of the town of Wasilla. But where the heck is Wasilla?

It's about 40 miles north of Anchorage, and it's an 80-mile drive to get to Ted Stevens' house in Girdwood. To get to Alaska's capital of Juneau, it's 568 miles as the crow flies; if Palin is headed to One Observatory Circle this January, it's gonna be one hell of a red-eye: Washington, DC is 3,351 miles from Wasilla.
