I have issues in many places over the years,in eureka most people are fairly pleasant and…read morehelpful,oddly enough the police are actually pretty cool(weird to say that from me) many interesting things to do ,the marinas are cool,tons of affordable dispensaries,many interesting places to eat, everything is affordable,it's colorful,not to loud in most areas. Problematic situations aren't your problem if you don't apply yourself to them ,housing is reasonable for California It does not have some of the general issues as often is other spots in the area such as power outages or poor connectivity It's kind of small but there is always a lot going on if you're into roaming and budgeting, actually fairly quiet at night There are a few negatives, quite a bit of homelessness and addicts but that's everywhere now. I've been homeless so it doesn't bother me aside empathy Thank you eureka police for being respectful and empathetic to people and not robbing shooting and beating people on a regular basis people here complain about the police far too much. I blame that on addicts and hippies and some old anti police attitude mess. I used to sell drugs in other states. These people complaining must have been doing something wrong as the cops here have a lot to deal with Also amazing weather almost all the time ,I don't mind the winter rains it's better than snowy subartict And the design and structural ambience is nice Best place in Humboldt in my experience so far and a favored spot in Cali Thank you for not discriminating eureka Thank you code enforcement for doing your jobs Thank you city workers and PGE and especially all federal benefit offices such as EBT,Medicaid,social security, section 8,also AAA, Avoid pro pacific,they aren't pros they will take your money and not do full repair ,hold your vehicle for as long as they can illegally lie about not being able to find parts or fix certain things and only fix what they want ,very disrespectful,may leave your vehicle off property open to vandalism in the streets,like job security Absolutely most horrible scum mechanics I've come across in forty years, probably on drugs or something I don't know anything about the lodge there hopefully the brothers are more well behaved ,mature and dedicated to what the organization is really about as opposed to other places I've been Eureka is a prime northern coast area. Please don't mess it up or start being pricks like everywhere else I really appreciate you

City of Eureka as a visitor [Eureka CA]…read more We saw and did a lot more in the City of Eureka this time around when we revisited during the extended Memorial Day weekend 2025. Each below have their own a separate review. New to us: * Sequoia Park & Garden - the garden featured a wishing well and a gazebo. Lots of flowers in bloom which is generally between May and September. * Sequoia Park Zoo and The Redwood Sky Walk - The Sky Walk is accessible only through the Sequoia Park Zoo. Enjoyed both attractions! The suspension bridge was my highlight but I also really liked seeing the flamingos! * Fort Humboldt State Historic Park - cool history where future U.S. President, Ulysses S. Grant, served as a Captain and commander of all Union forces during the Civil War. This place is said to be haunted. * T.J. Maxx - just passing time before movies. As we were about to leave town to head back home we stopped by downtown on Memorial Day. Many businesses were open including: * Old Town Square - historic charm and for the most part I didn't see too many homeless people on the streets as many have mentioned in their reviews. We came around 10:00a. * Dick Taylor Craft Chocolate - located right on the waterfront of Humboldt Bay. Sampled some artisanal chocolates and enjoyed a Browned Butter Rice Krispy Treat from their cafe bar. * Los Bagels - tried their Scrambagel for the first time. Very good in organic sesame seed bagel. This is a cafe with Mexican and Jewish influence. Revisited: * The Donut Mill - Ham & Cheese Croissant for breakfast * Broadway Cinema - "The Last Rodeo" [an Angel Studios production] * Brick and Fire Bistro - featured in DD&D twice... first one in and we got to sit inside the main dining room this time. Had the Kobe Fettina Steak again. We've pretty much explored all we wanted to see in the City of Eureka so won't be back in a long while. We'll probably revisit again in a few years.

The building looks like a historic building and when you walk into the lobby its like your going back in time. The old tile work is cool and neat to see the old mailboxes. I went about 10am and they had no line, I was able to get in and out. Lots of free parking around the building. They have free USPS shipping boxes and they sell tape and other size boxes if you need them.. The clerks were very professional and polite.

I love this location. *The lady that works here is always,…read morealways helpful. She finds the least expensive way to send my packages and never has an attitude. I don't feel like I am bothering her with my questions so I have learned a few things. Like, the boxes provided at the post offices are designed to be handled by machine so the rate is cheaper. If you bring your own box it has to be hand stamped and hand carried so the rate is higher. Also, the boxes are self stick so no use for tape. * I have seen her be most courteous to some really rude people. Her service was the same for every person in her line. I have worked retail and I know how difficult it is to be nice to someone when they are demanding, rude & obnoxious. She handles it like a pro.
