Smallish (I'd guess about 6,000 or so), lots of artists, some good restaurants and some amazing Victorian architecture. When I was a kid, we used to go up there all the time for a few days or a long weekend; I recall lots of hippie types, a very mellow atmosphere. I haven't been up there for a few years; my folks say it's gotten more touristy recently, but they still like it.

In the surrounding area, however, you will find some rednecks, for sure in the older logging areas. But I used to go up there to a remote cabin with friends of mine in high school, and no one ever bothered us because of our freaky hair and clothes or liberal bumper stickers.
