Redding, California

Redding is conveniently located on I-5 at the extreme north end of the Sacramento Valley. The city has a rural feel, but with easy freeway access to the rest of the world.

Redding is a growing center of commerce and industry-the recognized metropolitan marketplace of Northern California, serving not only Shasta County, but the adjacent counties of Tehama, Trinity and Siskiyou.

Mount Shasta dominates the northern skyline, and the beautiful Lassen Range in on the east. The Shasta Bolly mountain range lies to the west. The views are incredible. The greatest attraction to the area is the endless recreational opportunity. Approximately 75% of Shasta County consists of national forests and parklands. From Redding, you can be sailing on Whiskeytown Lake, or houseboating on Lake Shasta within an hour. Mt. Shasta, one hour north of town, offers snow skiing and endless hiking trails. Some of the world's best fishing is right here.

Redding enjoys four seasons, with mild winters and warm summers. Although the Sacramento River winds its way through the center of town, the city's relative humidity is refreshingly low. The prevailing winds blow north/south and rarely exceed 13 miles per hour. The average rainfall is 38 inches annually occurring in the late fall and winter. Clear weather predominates over 300 days a year, 88% more sunny days than any other metropolitan city in the nation. Air quality is rated one of the best on the west coast. We are one of the most scenic and unique counties in all of California!
