That is what I found up there! You just have to keep your head low In Eureka/Arcata there is a food Co-op. Man, I don't think I should write the rest! But, lets' say you can get a lot of info in the parking lot! I spent many months up there, as a vacationer, several years ago. The people are just different and pretty friendly. Not up right, but mix with the locals in any Co-op, they are all into health food and organic anything! You'd be surprised!

I doubt the fog has a lot to do with that particular area, but they do have a lot of it there, call it "tullie fog" or something like that! Plus, close to the ocean. There use to be a sandwich type place called, "Katamaran"! Might ask descreet questions there, in McKinleyville. Very discreet. Not saying I know anyone there or what they do, but if it is still there, they have been in the area a long time and I am sure would be helpful in finding a house to your needs. Or the parking lot of the Co-op! Most there grow their own vegetables also! If you had something going on, it isn't like you'd want a realtor listing it to let anyone in, anytime! Would you? It is worth checking out! Could tell you a lot of stories, but, I do hope this helps. I just love that area! Go slightly east of it and around and north! Mix with the locals! Good luck!
