Hey, I just moved to Arcata a week and two days ago! I'm going to go to CR next year. I'm going to be taking classes to get my residency (from Arizona) changed to California. The Humboldt area is really relaxed and it is easy to find what you need. Just look for the people who look like they would know, they are ALL around here.

Good luck on finding a place here. I tried all the agencies around town, but finally decided on just checking craigslist. Look in the apts / housing and the rooms / shared for places to rent. I found some really cool people that are "420 friendly" and "215 friendly."

If they are cool with pot, they will say 420 friendly, 215 friendly, or just, "friendly."

You can also move to an apartment for one or two months to start establishing your 366 days to residency. Some say one year least, some say nothing, or month to month. Good luck.
