Humboldt Insider

Toasty on the Coast There it is — just enough of a brr in the air to justify cozying up. Put some mileage on that sweater collection and meet us in Humboldt County for fall and winter fun. We know all the best places and people … And bears! Meet Tule, the sweet rescued black […]

MAYBE IT’S THE HIGH ANNUAL RAINFALL or the fact that even our hottest days come with cool coastal breezes, but Humboldt County folks might enjoy the spring and summer sunshine even more than our sunburnt southern counterparts. In this issue, we’ll share some of our favorite ways to while away the season. In Perfect Trips, […]

Rain or Shine A little rain isn’t going to stop our fun, not in Humboldt. In fact, folks here tend to not even bother with umbrellas, preferring to brave the weather with a hoodie and/or a hat. And our county has plenty to entertain both when the fall sun shines or the winter clouds gather. […]

Summer Comeback — The warm temperatures and blue skies are here again, and with them some of the festivals and other events we’ve missed. We at Insider are all kinds of ready to soak up the sunshine and good times again. Our enthusiasm pales in comparison to that of Shoshanna, though, the local festival fixture, […]

The pandemic had us home alone or with our families, relying on essential workers keeping things going in the world outside. Without the festivals and live music, the restaurant dining and winding […]

In the Moment — Well, that was fast — we hopped over the line into a new decade in what felt like the blink of an eye. There’s a pull, at times like these, to commemorate milestones and the things that are most important to us. Admit it: You’re thinking about getting a tattoo. You’re […]

Fall and All — There are those of us who smile through spring and summer but secretly count the days until fall, when we can feel a little snap in the wind, pull on something wooly and sip cocoa. Congratulations, sweater people, your time has come. And in Humboldt, it lingers since we don’t have […]
