The County would like to inform the public of ongoing construction taking place in front of the Siskiyou County Government Center in Yreka.
This work is necessary to complete an emergency drainpipe repair to address and prevent flooding within the building. During this project, parking directly in front of the Government Center is limited, and visitors are encouraged to allow extra time and use alternate parking areas when possible.
Due to heavy rain, the Siskiyou County Public Works Department is making sandbags available to residents who may need them for flood protection.
Sandbags and sand are available at the following County Yard locations during regular business hours:
Yreka Central County Yard
279 Sharps Road, Yreka, CA 96097
Hours: 8:00 a.m. – 4:00 p.m.
Scott Valley County Yard

Hours: 8:00 a.m. – 4:00 p.m.

As many in the community are aware, recent wolf sightings have been reported near Little Shasta, reflecting a broader trend of increasing wolf activity throughout Siskiyou County.
Siskiyou County is a rural, wilderness-surrounded region, and residents have long lived alongside wildlife. While this familiarity is part of daily life, it does not lessen the importance of awareness or preparedness. As wolf populations range closer to homes, trails, and working lands, encounters must be taken seriously.
