ABC News’ Good Morning America Is Coming to Eureka!
Press release from the City of Eureka:
The City of Eureka is excited to welcome ABC News’ Good Morning America team this week as part of a nationwide series highlighting all 50 states in the lead-up to the United States’ 250th anniversary, with GMA’s contributor Becky Worley sharing what makes California, and communities like Eureka, so special. We’re proud to be part of this national moment, especially during a milestone year when Eureka is also celebrating its 170th anniversary. We’re especially proud that the broadcast will spotlight the Sequoia Park Zoo and the Redwood Sky Walk, a one-of-a-kind experience that reflects Eureka’s natural beauty, and strong sense of place.
Community Invite-Only Participation
About 50 community members will be invited to be on site for the live broadcast, cheering on Eureka in the background.
To make sure many parts of our community are represented, the City will invite small groups from a range of civic organizations and partners. Each group will be asked to bring a limited number of participants. Space is tight, and given the quick timeline, we are managing what our staff can safely coordinate. This approach helps include voices from across the community.
While attendance at the filming location is limited, the City encourages the broader community to take part by sharing what they love about Eureka on social media. Community members are invited to post photos, videos, or messages and tag the City of Eureka, and the City will reshare community posts as available leading up to the broadcast.
How to Watch & Stay Connected
While only a small group can be on site for the live broadcast, the entire community is encouraged to tune in to Good Morning America live on Thursday morning and the City encourages the broader community to take part by sharing what they love about Eureka on social media.
The City will also be sharing updates, behind-the-scenes moments, and highlights from the broadcast as available across the City of Eureka’s social media channels and website. Due to filming restrictions and timing, content will be shared when possible. We appreciate everyone’s excitement and understanding as we help showcase Eureka on a national stage.
Temporary Trail Closure & Early-Morning Filming
To support the live broadcast, the trail below the Redwood Sky Walk will be temporarily closed during early-morning hours on February 12th. Filming will take place very early, while the zoo animals are still sleeping, so we kindly ask the public not to come to the broadcast location during that time. The trail will reopen as soon as filming wraps up.
We are honored to highlight our community, treasured places, and the people who make Eureka so special. We
can’t wait to share Eureka’s story with viewers across the country.

To look at the Junkies shooting up with harm needles? Or the progressive bike lanes and bump outs of our now F-up streets? Or the fantastic weed peddlers around town? Or all the parking lots being filled in with low income housing? Or maybe a protest with old libs and bule haired progressives with gaza flags?
Well I say…MOVE complainer!
Move to Florida then to be closer to your daddy don.
Ah yes, the notorious horrors of bike lanes and housing. Do you think the nation is prepared to witness such things?
Adapt, migrate or…well, you know. Touch grass man.
Serious question: why stay if you so obviously dislike it? Scottsdale might be more to your liking. Or Texas or Florida.
Just a head’s up though, most places that are rated as desirable places to live have infrastructure to encourage pedestrians and bicyclists. Unless your idea of a great place is a suburban hellscape filled with McMansions. Those are abundant everywhere.
”50 community members will be invited to be on site for the live broadcast”
Well, I have not been asked. So i can see all the asshats that have been asked will only embarrass the community further.
Quite obvious why you haven’t been asked.
You don’t need to be on tv to embarrass yourself.
Who poops in your cornflakes every morning? I hope you don’t have housemates who have to listen to your griping every day. You’re predictable at least! ALWAYS negative, no matter the subject. Get a GRIP man!
If in fact that’s your real name.

Feel free to to show up and We will have a badge and you can have a minute to express your views about the local area on live broadcast! I glad we were able to find you and feel free to bring 3-4 of your closest friends. Shanell Sikes- ABC ‘Goodmorning America’
For those questioning, this is a form of satire. And no, it isn’t Maverick.
I hope the viewed the YouTuber form last month.
Oh there’s some things to see in eureka.there is a stroll thru downtown. The aroma of dog shit and urine is lovely this time of year.
A 3+ hour network visit to the zoo will be edited down to a 10 second blip with enough time to say the word Eureka in the actual broadcast. Rain is predicted for the event so let’s hope for the best.
Rain will start on Saturday
Sounds like a good day for a major protest. Let’s put Eureka on the map. Oh wait, it’s a Sanctuary City. ICE goons will show up eventually, especially after THIS. Oh boy.
I love the Humboldt Bay Trail and how many are using it. Our local kennel club and members walk their dogs on it all the time.
It’s beautiful!
