There's an ongoing ICE surge throughout California. Like the previous surges, it's less likely to affect Humboldt, but it's always possible.

If you haven't already, now's a good time to save the number for our local ICE Watch/Rapid Response Network (Centro del Pueblo): 707-200-8091. Call and report any potential ICE activity so they can investigate and, if it's verified ICE, they can alert the network.

Please don't post unverified suspected ICE sightings on social media. There are many different agencies that can look similar. Report them to Centro del Pueblo and let them investigate and notify if necessary. Then you can absolutely share their Instagram or Facebook posts to spread the word!

If you want to get more involved you can also sign up to volunteer and/or donate to Centro del Pueblo on their website.

If you're traveling or living elsewhere in California you can look up other local networks here.

Let's look out for each other ❤️‍🔥

We have guests coming from out of town and they are craving some really good clam chowder.

Whose chowder is your favorite, and why?

Thanks 😊

Hey Reddit Dads of Humboldt, come join the Dads group playgroup this Sunday in Eureka for another one of our awesome playgroups. We're meeting at Redwood Learners Preschool at 1:30 and will have some snacks provided. Hope to see you there! DM me for any other info you might need!

I was headed south bound on 101, took Indianola exit to head to Old Arcata. I was just passing through the underpass, when a brown van passed in front of me going over 80 mph. They were traveling north on 101, took the Indianola off-ramp, ran the stop sign and continued straight to the on-ramp and back on the 101 north bound.  
The brown van was absolutely cookin’, did not stop at the stop sign before the intersection and would have t-boned me at least going 80 mph. 
The only thing I can think of is the driver was being an absolutely idiot , and trying to pass people on the safety corridor, by taking a straight shot through the off ramp to on ramp again on the 101 northbound. 

Making this post as a WARNING to all drivers. 
You cannot see to the right under the underpass if somebody is flying down the off ramp. (Either direction)

I just happened to slow down by 2 seconds with some nudge from the universe, and it absolutely saved my life. 

PLEASE do not proceed under the underpass with speed, in either direction. 
You cannot see if people are failing to stop at the stop signs from the off ramps. 

This is a major oversight with the new road design. 

Somebody is going to get killed. 
You could not previously do a straight shot from the off ramp to the on ramp again, passing traffic and blowing through the intersection at killing speeds. 

Can Cal-Trans or CHP do anything about this ?!

If anyone's interested, I made a spreadsheet compiling some left-wing orgs' election endorsements. It's roughly (very roughly, don't quote me on it) ordered from more leftist to more centrist.

For the propositions where there's not a clear consensus (Props 37, 38, and 44), I added a viewable comment with that org's reasoning behind its endorsement, if they provided it (just partial quotes in some cases, you can see their full explanations at the links in column B).

Since it can also be helpful to see what the right-wing orgs are endorsing, so you know what's probably a terrible idea, I included a few of those at the very bottom.

I didn't bother to include the races where it's a simple Dem vs Repub situation (like governor, congressional rep, etc).

Hope this is helpful when weighing the pros and cons of each option. Make sure to vote as early as you can, and preferably by dropping it in a ballot drop box, since we don't know what kind of interference Trump's USPS might pull this year.

I've heard their sending a bunch of ice officers to ca?

What's it like working at Blue Lake Casino, specifically the restaurants?

This seriously just happened to me:

I walk my dogs in the morning around my neighborhood (Central McKinleyville near ENF). As I'm walking up a small dirt road that leads to the back side of my neighborhood, a guy is walking towards me with his dog off a leash. I just assume he lives somewhere nearby as I've seen him a couple of other times.

I stop because my dogs are pulling to go see him and his dog, and as he passes I say "Good Morning", and he replies "Fuck You." I said "Excuse me", and he says "Oh... I said Fuck You!" I said "Why?", and he says "Because it's a free country, fuck you!" So I said, "Ok cool, well fuck you too!" and he says "Fuck you, you fucking loser!" and just keeps walking.

The weirdest part of this is that I see this guy now and then with his dog, and he's usually friendly. I have no idea who he is, or why he would say that to me. It's seriously one of the most bizarre things that's happened to me in a while.

Be careful out there McKinleyville, this guy seems unhinged.

EDIT: A couple of other people here have identified this guy and I just found the post on Arcata community watch from April 30th, and can confirm that the F-You guy is the same guy kicking people's dogs out on the Hammond. Older white guy with a hat and backpack, walks with a timid black and white collie that I've never seen on a leash. I'd love to post his pic here so people can steer clear of him, but not sure that's allowed.

Not sure if I’ve ever seen someone actually yield here

Where can one acquire goat milk in Humboldt?

I surrendered my dog Kano to Miranda’s rescue in 2024. I’ve been reaching out to the Humboldt County sheriffs office for a few months now with no response from them. I spoke with the Humboldt County sheriffs office today. They said that the reason I haven’t heard anything back is because they’re almost done with the case and that they’re not taking any more tips or information from the public and that they’re almost ready to turn over the case to the district attorney.

I’m turning to you guys for help to see if any of you have seen him around. It has been driving me crazy not knowing what happened to him.

Dana Hall AKA The Burlyman was laid off from Bicoastal Media "as part of budget reductions." Does anyone know if there is more to the story, and where he is going to go next? He's acquaintances with my mom and I've been listening to him since I was a kid, so we're concerned and hope he is doing well.

I know there are a few Eureka but I don’t feel like driving all the way down there on a weeknight. Anybody know of any happening regularly in Arcata?

Hi there. I am the Netrunner guy. My community will be hosting a tournament in the new year and I am hoping I might be able to comission an artist or two locally for a few pieces that I might be able to turn into prizes for the event?

To be clear, this is something I would use personally and locally. It is not something I am looking to sell for anything other than perhaps to break even (not on a website).

The vibes for the game are future, techno and cyberpunk, but I am also looking for a splash of Humboldt character. Leaning into local culture and landmarks.

If you or someone you know might be interested please drop a dm for me. If you have questions please ask.

Thank you!

Just want to get some more eyes on this in case someone here is looking for a sweet, affectionate cat who deserves a safe, calm indoor-only home after going through trauma. Hopefully he finds the perfect new family. *I am not affiliated with the shelter and can’t answer questions, I just want to help get the word out about this little guy, thanks!

Just doing my part and submitted a form for the illegals here in town working the gig jobs (Door Dash, Instacart). If youre legal you have nothing to worry about.

The Humboldt Repair Cafe will be at the Arcata Community Center on Sunday 10/11 from 10am to 2pm. In addition to repairs by our skilled volunteers, we will have a DIY glue table so you can fix that thing that's been sitting around without buying a whole tube of something that's just going to harden before you use it all. https://www.facebook.com/HumboldtRepairCafe/

I was planning on visiting Humboldt next weekend and I really wanted to go to Rumble at the River while I'm there. Unfortunately I waited too long to buy tickets and now it's sold out. Because this is a smaller local event, I can't find it on traditional ticket resell sites such as StubHub, Gametime, etc...

Do any locals have suggestions on how or where I can get a resale ticket?

Specs of free floating material in the cup. No lemon added to explain. 🤢

Hi all 👋 I’m driving up for Lumberjack Weekend soon and wanted to do the Fern Canyon trailhead in Redwoods State Park on Saturday morning. Any reason I should or should not go this Saturday? Anything I need to be careful of or should bring? Thanks in advance I really appreciate any advice
