March 3rd, 2026

Thank you to everyone who joined us for this year’s State of McKinleyville. It was a pleasure to connect, share updates about our Parks & Recreation opportunities, and celebrate the momentum happening across our community. I always appreciate the opportunities the Chamber creates for collaboration among our business members, organizations, and the community as a whole.

I’m already looking forward to the Annual Awards Dinner. Be sure to get your tickets and join us for another great evening of community celebration. And don’t forget, flower basket sponsorships for the 2026 season are available now, a wonderful way to support and brighten McKinleyville.

One last note: we do have open Board and Ambassador positions available. These are great opportunities for those looking to give back to the community. We are a fun bunch of volunteers. Please feel free to reach out if you are interested!

Your Voice Matters in McKinleyville’s Economic Future

The McKinleyville Chamber is partnering on an Economic Development survey with Cal Poly Humboldt to better understand the opportunities and challenges facing our local community.

This is your chance to share what’s working, what’s not, and what support would make the biggest difference for you.

Please take a few minutes to participate and help ensure McKinleyville’s economic future reflects the needs of its community.

A survey is available for Residents and for Business owners. If you are both, please take both surveys.
