Default Blue Lake Crime

has increased 1000 % since the Casino opened and there have been several accounts in the Times-Standard, North Coast Journal etc documenting this. Have to disagree with Northern California on this point. The drunks from the casino roam the streets breaking into cars and houses looking for change or anything to keep going. The Blue Lake police chief was quite vivid in his description. Blue Lake is too swampy for me but I always take out of town visitors to the Mad River brewery (on Saturday when they give tours) and to the hatchery just because it's neat.

patrz is on a distinguished road
So, are there houses for sale in Blue Lake. For two old folks. We can buy outright for 200k or less. then we could live on our fixed income. Can you go boating on the river?
dragonslayer said it was "right at the fog line between the interior heat and the coastal cool. " I'm not sure what that means. Is it damp? Is it Hot? I'll go check out the city of blue lake link.
thanks.
eureka1 just scared the blue lake out of me.
guess it is back to looking around arcata. fortuna looked ok too.

The crimes of the Police Chief in Blue Lake alone should knock the rate up!

Most of the crimes here are puny compared to the crime in the Bay Area or further south. Rape and murder are infrequent here and when it happens it makes the headlines. Blue Lake is not the only place around here that is out of the fog belt, there is Fieldbrook that is this side of Blue Lake that is in a north south running valley, less than 10 miles from the coast and can get hot in the summer and gets snow in the winter, but not every year. There is also Glendale, Maple Creek, Bayside, Indianola, Cutten and Myrtle Town besides McKinleyville. If one is interested in a good manufactured home in a park, they can be had for $80,000 for a small one to $150,000 or better for some of the really nice deluxe units, and these can be found within walking distance of the beach.
