#112. Solomon Everta on Eureka Books, Omnibus, and the Stories That Build Community

Send us Fan MailScott Hammond sits down with Solomon Everta for a conversation rooted in Old Town Eureka, local business, mutual aid, and the kind of community life that only makes sense when you’ve actually lived here awhile. Solomon talks about coming to Humboldt from East Bay, finding his footing through work and activism, and eventually becoming the owner of Eureka Books.They get into the recent expansion into Omnibus on Snug Alley, why independent bookstores still matter, and how a bookstore can be more than retail. For Solomon, it’s about stories, yes, but also about listening, relationships, and giving people a place to feel part of something. He reflects on Food Not Bombs in Arcata, the reality of poverty and housing insecurity, downtown parking debates, worker ownership, and why Humboldt needs more community-minded thinking and less hierarchy.This episode also wanders through local history, the North Coast arts scene, parenting, and the weirdly urban pleasures of downtown Eureka life. It’s a thoughtful, local conversation with someone who sees books not as escape from community, but as one way back into it.
