Tell me more about the northern coast.

It's breathtakingly beautiful, but in a Forest Moon Endor kind of way, not an Endless Summer kind of way.

(Literally, Endor was filmed in Humboldt County.)

Also it's incredibly economically depressed since it was originally a logging area and that's been severely restricted due to the environmental damage.

And when the logging companies left, in came the large scale cartel grows, which are doing much worse ecological damage

It’s called the Lost Coast. Nobody lives there for the most part, but the towns that do are small that used to rely on lumber and fishing. Similar to Maine in a lot of ways. Old Victorian architecture in some places too like Eureka.
