The County of Humboldt operates as a regional government administration, delivering local governance and public services within Humboldt County. It spans 2.3 million acres in northwestern California, of which about 80 percent is forest land, protected redwoods, and recreation areas, and it serves more than 130,000 residents. The county is headquartered in Eureka and supports a workforce in the hundreds. In recent years, its Economic Development Division has pursued partnerships and studies to advance the region's economy, collaborating with external firms on projects related to workforce, supply chains, and opportunities such as offshore wind. A notable development includes a partnership with Alaska Airlines to introduce nonstop flights from the county airport to Seattle, reflecting efforts to expand regional connectivity.
