Having spent over a dozen 4th of Julys in Seward, my recommendation would be to avoid Seward around the 4th of July. I've been there many years on the 4th to run Mt Marathon. However if you're more interested in other Seward activities instead of the race then I'd strongly recommend visiting sometime other than around July 4th. Seward is less crowded and less expensive at other times.
