This month’s edition of the City of Eureka’s newsletter (link here) touts “Eureka is Ready,” a new website designed to help kick our economy into high gear. The newsletter says:
Our Economic Development team in partnership with Eddy Alexander recently created a new website to promote opportunities for conducting business within the City of Eureka.
The new website features information on what makes Eureka a great choice for starting or relocating a business, and highlights unique local workforce facts and statistics. Please visit the new site, www.eurekaisready.com.

Maybe the climate implications aren’t that great, but some local fishermen have taken to Instagram to share their understandable stoke over catching a dorado (AKA a mahi-mahi) in “Lost Coast”-tagged waters.
Mahi-mahi are generally found in tropical and subtropical oceans, with the Gulf of Mexico and Costa Rica being hotspots of note. While it’s not unprecedented to find the fish this far north — or farther — it is extremely rare. (But also exciting, sure.)

Nice scoop from the T-S just now — the U.S. Department of Transportation has awarded the County of Humboldt nearly a million dollars to help us woo regular service to Seattle. Alaska Airlines is apparently on board.
Presumably these funds will be used, as they have in the past, to guarantee a certain level of revenue to a new air carrier during their first year or so of operations out of ACV.

Not a bad view for paintin’! The Eureka Street Art Festival is in full swing with nightly art walks to the event’s various project locations. But it’s local artist Tess Yinger — tackling their first ever solo mural project! — who inarguably scored the dreamiest workspace along Eureka’s waterfront. Kudos!

Locals are currently raising funds to send former beloved Humboldt County Sheriff’s Office deputy Charlie Lamb back to his Idaho home where he will live out his days in hospice care after doctors ceased treating his Lymphoma. Funds raised will be used to secure Lamb a special medical flight.
You can donate here. Read about Lamb’s long cancer battle here.
