It started out being about fixing CRs roofs, then the out of nowhere Astro-turf post on Reddit and now it’s about fire fighters and nurses to protect the public? Fishier and fishier I tell you.
We're hoping to see more folks down on Myrtle Ave! Check out your Nextdoor App map for all of us giving out candy off of the main road! If you have Littles, these side streets are great and safe to walk around with them :)

Hi there! Does Eureka set specific hours for Trick-or-Treating? I moved here over the summer, this is our first Halloween. In other parts of the country I've lived, the cities publish "official" trick-or-treating hours (like 6-9 usually). But I can't find that info for Eureka...I've looked on the Times Standard, Lost Coast Outpost, and City Government pages and no luck.
besides animals or fish
I want to get more into foraging, I do a little bit.
I’m learning about it in books and stuff and online. I want to become way more experienced and be able to collect a good amount of food . Mushrooms, plants, berries, can you eat like roots or things like that? anything lol
My favorite things that I like to forage are mushrooms of course like the classic chanterelle or chicken of the woods, miners lettuce, or thimble berries. I’ve had blackberries all over humboldt but once my friend from hoopa took me to this very high hill with full sun on a hot day in middle of summer, and there were SO many bushes, with the biggest and sweetest and juiciest blackberries I ever had. One of the best things I ever ate. The we sat in matching pink bathing suits on our blue floaties eating these berries when a baby otter splashed by and swam around us. hehehe best memory ever.
i wanna make more memories and be able to collect a good amount of food almost year round. plus if i get stranded in the woods or if all hell breaks loose i wanna be able to eat well lol
whattya got humboldt
Anyone in the pinehill neighborhood. Do we get a lot of kids around here?? Trying to figure how much candy to get. Thanx
I am looking for someone who can give me dreadlocks, ive Been wanting them for a long while but have struggled to find someone. i have very very wavy hair, so i would prefer someone who works on all types of hair. does anyone have suggestions or can hook me up with someone?
I was on the way to Eureka today when I passed this crazy looking green pill-shaped car thing entering the highway from Sunnybrae (i think). Did anyone else see this and get a picture? I need confirmation that this thing is real and that I didn’t hallucinate it lol. It didn’t even look like a car, really it was the strangest sight.
So much here is misleading. For example,
1.The Bond money CAN be spent on administrator salaries! If they are working on some aspect of spending the money, they can pay themselves from the bond for that work.
The State and the last bond made sure that the Eureka campus is up to the highest earthquake standards in the country.
The bond wording is so loosely worded that practically anything will be allowed (see the County's impartial analysis in the voters guide). Not just things mentioned in the bond.
Is there anything to do tonight that is not 21+ that an 19 year old could go to? Doesn’t seem like there are any fun events unless you’re 21+.
Anyone know of a list of Native owned businesses here in Humboldt, also drop them down below!
Hey guys, I know I’m late to the party but does anyone know of a pumpkin patch that’s open today?

I went to Taco Bell in Mckinleyville the other day and there were ants :( I get that they are hard to get rid of but still. Its a food establishment and it had ants.
I moved here recently and came from a very dry climate. How does one properly dress for rain? I know there are since materials that are good, but are there any to avoid? Sorry if this is a dumb question, but it's something I never really had to think about until I got poured on today.
I’m in a serious dilemma and would like to get advice from people who has knowledge in California tenant rights.
I just received a certified letter from my landlady asking me to move by December 30 for owner occupy. While I know she has the right to do so, and I’ve read the tenant right act myself before, would someone verify my rights? Background on the lease is at the end. Do I have the right to:
Asking for 90 days notice because it’s on the original lease signed in September 2019 and even if it's month to month the original terms still apply. It was because I am low income disabled and may need more time to relocate. There was no issue for them to agree. Asking for relocation assistance. Is there a limit on this? What if I am moving out of Humboldt? As stated in the Act, can I ask them to provide names of people moving in and remind them they have to occupy for at least 1 year and can not give rental vacancy during that time, if they don’t in this unit anymore? 4. Should I even bother to mention my rights based on the Tennant Act?
Here’s the background and it reads like a novel. This is an inlaw unit attached to the main house marked A and B. Main house is A, I am in B with own utility. The lease is one year then month to month. I’ve been paying rent on time and in full for 4 years. I’m very introverted. I moved here after a major life event and prefer a quiet life. I do not socialize very much but am happy just being myself.
Back in July she sat on the patio give me a 90 days notice. Her reasons were: 1) in 2020 I’d given a baby gift to a neighbor’s new baby but did not include her. I made her look bad. 2) A friend of mine got COVID 7 hours away in 2020 and I did not tell her right away. 3) when I found a set of house and car keys while they were on holiday and I was going out of town myself, I left her text and emails, as well as her daughters who they were staying together. No one got back with me so I left the keys to a trusted neighbor (and informed her with what I did), before leaving. She accused me of telling people about the keys and making a big deal out of nothing. All the reasons are bogus. The landlord did not know that she had issued the verbal eviction on the patio and talked to her (I'm sure they had a big fight that night). They both apologized the next day and told me I am a good tennant and can leave on my own terms. I also found out she was upset with me that I do not want to be in her social circle and not wanting to attend fundraising at the COOP senior community. They are in their 80’s old enough to be my parents.
Fast Forward to October 24, after finding out her husband needs to be in a wheelchair after a serious illness. He’s in Santa Rosa right now for rehab. I have no idea when he is returning. She tried to get her house cleaned up. She started to clean but realized the multilevel house is nearly impossible to make it accessible for him. Again, verbally on the patio, she asks me to move so he can move back to my unit. My unit has less steps and the main house is 3 stories multilevel with 5 br and built on the hill. I kept my calm and told her since it’s only an 8 day notice, if she can find a place that I can afford, get packers and movers to help me move within the 8 days, I would do it. I also showed her my place, which is a fully furnished 2 bedroom apartment. She then said I can move into a hotel or find a room at the student housing. She kept telling me to think about it and I kept saying there’s nothing more to think about only if she can make it happen in 8 days.
The landlord adores me and I would not stand in the way of his recovery. But I have my challenges I need to take care of myself too. It will take time for me to find a place, I’m on SSDI. Income 3x the rent is very difficult to achieve in my position. I have a 12 yo dog who I can’t part with. Can I insist on the 90 days?
More so, I have a hand surgery she knows about scheduled on nov 12. The recovery is long (at least a month and I can’t lift or carry anything during that time and short while after). can I ask to have packers and movers? It’s fully furnished 2 br. I am not trying to squat just need time to get to the next place and put all this behind me. I can’t even lift a plate or do dishes right now due to the hand injury. I will need help to pack.
She is crazy and not very smart. She added her daughters’ names as my contact for further info. One of them is a lawyer in Vermont. I think she is using her to intimidate me. Should I find a lawyer? Should I respond myself and what should I say? When should I respond and by that means, a certified letter? They're all in Santa Rosa right now no one is home. What if the lawyer daughter try to find a loophole and side with her to get me out by December 30. What’s the point to bring her in anyway? I want to have a good communication and work this out reasonably but it seems impossible right now. If you know anyone I can get in contact with please let me know. Isn’t there a community legal services or something like that in Humboldt?
Hello! I’ll be visiting from out of town this weekend for school preview day at Humboldt University. I really want to go fishing during my trip. I believe it’ll most likely be raining this weekend but seems like low chances on Saturday and Sunday. Any good spots to fish besides the ocean? Thank you, I’m trying to figure out if I should bring my fishing gear with me on my flight.
Oh, and any cool spots to play pool 🎱 and have a beer would be appreciated aswell!
I don’t smoke but my sister is coming to visit next week and she wants to buy a new piece while she is up here. Any suggestions on where to go? Something local or at least quality, just not cheap china she said.
Hey what's up with all the junk removal advertising I see on every power pole now? Is this legal? Is it littering? Is this allowed? I personally hate seeing advertisements... This seems like an all new low. I'm seeing these junk signs all the way up to kneeland school. Literally hundreds of these signs... Can I start taking them down?
FYI if you are moving out - I was charged a flat fee of $300 (correction: $250) for cleaning very minor things that I missed. Their representative confirmed to me over email that they charge a flat fee for cleaning. So unless you are planning on putting absolutely the most effort into your cleaning, don’t worry that much bc you’ll be charged the flat fee no matter how good of a job you did, if there is anything at all left unclean you will be charged the flat fee. Yea I’m a little salty, fight me.
Looking for a quality massage at a fair price. I moved up from the bay and pre covid, there were so many great massage places that for like $20 for an hour. They would spend 30mins on your feet and then do a body massage. Tip your masseuse.
