The state has improved 99 quite a bit in the past few years. A large portion of it s 4 lane between Sac and Yuba City. (You wouldn't go thru Marysville if you take 99 to Chico) You will have a few stop lights to deal with on the south side of YC, but the traffic flows quite nicely most of the time.
You would add quite a few extra miles to your trip by taking I-5. My vote is for 99.

I guess it was Yuba City I remember the stop lights from during my trip a few years back. I would be driving up late on a Friday morning, before lunch time, so it sounds like the traffic should be as light as it ever is during the day if I go through there then. So I'll definitely go up 99.
Thanks for the help - as I said, I've only gone up there once before, and couldn't remember which was worked best. |

Chico is a nice place to live if you already have a job lined up, or have retirement income. Bidwell Park is very nice. Best Buy, Lowes and Orchard Hardware were built while I was there and I don't know what's there now. I left in August of 2002. I was never able to get any type of clerical job. The businesses would rather hire a student and pay them less than an older person with experience. Even students were driving taxis! I had three temp jobs in the three years that I was there. Two were for one week, the other was opening and sorting mail for Blue Cross/Blue Shield three days per week for three months. I ended up starting to sell on eBay, and just hit all the thrift stores (all six of them!) every week for stuff to sell. I made more money than I did working for the temp services. I saved up the money that I made online, took a Greyhound (only two per day), one morning to San Diego, and I've been here ever since.

Chico is great! Lot's of local produce. Very nice place to live with GREAT park, Bidwell. Hot in summer, but nice creek or Sac river to cool off in.
