Arcata

Arcata sits on Humboldt Bay in northern California, where the Pacific coast’s cool, wet climate supports redwood country and tidal wetlands. The city is closely tied to Cal Poly Humboldt, California’s northernmost polytechnic university, whose campus gives the compact downtown an academic, outdoors-oriented character. Arcata Plaza remains the social centre, ringed by independent shops, cafés and older commercial buildings. On the bayfront, the Arcata Marsh and Wildlife Sanctuary combines restored marshland, trails and a wastewater-treatment system.
