Why you should go…
Eureka's Old Town preserves several blocks of 19th-century commercial architecture built on lumber and fishing wealth, now filled with galleries, shops and restaurants. The boardwalk along Humboldt Bay offers waterfront views and easy access to harbor tours. Arts Alive, a monthly evening gallery walk, is a good excuse to see it after dark.
