Garibaldi (real life Arcadia Bay) Drive-through & Walkthrough 

Ever since this video/trip, I've gone back every single summer to visit at least once, some years twice. It really is such a quiet and peaceful place, with not only friendly people but a very wholesome and welcoming community altogether. I've already befriended more locals than I was ever expecting to, who remember me and are always happy to see me whenever I return. Unfortunately too many obligations where I am now to be able to just get up and leave, but it's so surreal that this random small town I learned of through a video game has already genuinely become my home away from home. It's still my life goal though, and there's still time. Hopefully one day, and when that day comes, perhaps I'll see you there! ☺️

Always has been

Not really since the story is based on a city near garibaldi

There's no canon ending

@@Rachel.DawnAmber Chloe died

@@Ongez it's one version of an ending, the dev already said there's no canon. It's up to the players' choice

It's in the title. Garibaldi, Oregon

The town is Garibaldi, Oregon.

It's directly on Highway 101 about ten miles north of the town of Tillamook, in Tillamook County, Oregon.

奇异人生粉嘛！好亲切呀 不知道你用不用b站哈哈哈我在那儿发过视频

@@Rachel.DawnAmber 叫什么名字啊哈哈哈哈

You sir, are one lucky guy.

Yep. Arcadia bay is a small town.

I don't disagree, and personally I wouldn't want to move to Garibaldi specifically. I much prefer the city of Tillamook, which is just a short drive away, and where I stay every time I come back to visit. To me it's the perfect size, not too big or small, just enough going on without being overwhelming or crowded.

@@Ashquacks oh I thought Garibaldi is Tillamook 😮 I learnt something new

@@Rachel.DawnAmber Garibaldi is in/part of Tillamook County, and Tillamook (the city) is a city that is also in the same county and area. They're very close by, only about 10-15 mins drive from Tillamook city to Garibaldi.

@@Ashquacks I see. Thank you! I saw someone else on RU-vid going to Tillamook and there were the train tracks as well

Chloe & I: wanna get out People: wanna move in 😂

mam dokładnie to samo, ta gra jest dla wyjątkowa, ma specjalne miejsce w moim sercu, bardzo chciałbym kiedyś odwiedzić albo zamieszkać w tym miasteczku, marzenie, ale mam nadzieje że uda mi się je spełnić

ta historia pomogła mi gdy miałem naprawdę zły okres w moim życiu i pomaga do tej pory, cholernie zżyłem się z tymi postaciami, soundtracku z Life is Strange słucham praktycznie codziennie

@@mat7094 a teraz powraca max w nowej grze i do tego jeszcze w trailerze mozliwe ze słychac chloe mówi max dwa razy w 0:44 sprawdz sobie

@@mat7094 tez chiał bym tam mieszkac szczerze mam nawet chce zrobic se tatuaż za niedługo

​@@Belmondziakxmam nadzieję że Chloe się pojawi, chyba bym się załamał gdyby odrzucili te zakończenie jako niekanoniczne

It is definitely a beautiful (and very fun, if you're into that) drive up the Oregon coast, even just for the sights and really calming atmosphere, but there's interesting things to stop at along the way and check out as well like aquarium and Ripley's in Newport and the creamery in Tillamook. The latter is in my full trip video if you'd like an idea of it. Depends a bit on which direction you're coming from, and if you'd want to stop in Portland to do other things, but honestly outside of pdx there's not much to do inland in central Oregon either. As for value in sentiment/nostalgia, it of course depends on how much you personally see in it. My personal thoughts are pretty biased given my really strong attachment to Life is Strange and now the area, because it's worth it enough for me that every summer since, I drive for 2 days down from Alberta for the sole purpose of spending weeks there just hanging out and clearing my mind. It's genuinely become my home away from home. I don't think you'd be missing much by skipping Portland either, I'm not the biggest fan of it. Not because it's terrible or anything, but it's kind of just another generic big American city, and doesn't really have anything in particular that makes it stand out compared to any other big city. On my previous trip (in my recent videos if you'd like) I tried to spend more time there, but the only thing I really liked was the Japanese garden, which as per point isn't something exclusive to Portland. Hope this helps! Glad to answer any other questions you may have.

@@Ashquacks Very cool answer, thanks a lot! I think what I'm going to do is spend a day in Mt. Rainier and sleep around there, then in the next evening drive to Astoria, sleep there, and then the next day drive down the coast and sleep somewhere in between Astoria and Crater Lake. It's mostly a trip to relax and see the sights so I'm not too worried about skipping Portland but I hope I'm not doing it too fast! We have two weeks and my plan is to see as much as possible from in between Seattle and Los Angeles since I won't be back in a long time or perhaps at all. Right now I have one question that you might help me answer! After Crater Lake my plan is driving down to Napa Valley and sleeping there and maybe spending a whole day there, marking the halfway of our jorney, but getting there from Crater Lake It would be wise to pick a place in between to sleep and relax and it could either be going back to the coast through Crescent City or the straight-forward route through Redding. We plan on driving down the Pacific Highway from San Francisco to Los Angeles so I'm in between seeing some of northern california or going earlier to the coast and I'd love to hear your thoughts on it in case you're familiar with the region! Alternatively, I could skip Napa Valley entirely and go to Lake Tahoe instead, but it could be tiring and maybe we have already seen enough of mountains and forests by now? Either way, any opinions on it could be great!

@@PSPbrtag unfortunately I don't really have experience with the rest of the coast to be able to say. I come from inland so I go through Spokane to get to Portland, then head to the coast (towards Nehalem) from there, and spend my time mostly hanging around in the Tillamook and Newport areas. I haven't travelled more of the coast than between Cannon Beach and Florence, although I really should next time.

The interior of two whales is actually based on Blue Moon diner in Oregon. It's still open

Well if it counts Arcadia Bay wasn't really directly based on anything in the same way that you could easily say that Liberty City from Grand Theft Auto is based on New York City and Jersey City. Although there were places of particularly strong influence such as Garibaldi and Astoria, Arcadia Bay is just ingeneral a mishmash of the aesthetics, culture, and scenery of all the small towns up and down coastal Oregon aswell as American suburbia in general because Dontnod are a French development studio so anything American is unique for them. If you ever travel to this region I'm pretty sure you can go to just about anywhere along the coast of Oregon and you won't be disappointed about if it's like the game or not.

@@genericwhitekidthesecond4330 Awesome! I want to do a roadtrip on the west coast some day

Fun fact The interior for two whales diner is based on a diner in Oregon called Blue Moon diner. I want to visit Sweden some day as well 🩵

@@Rachel.DawnAmber both our countries have one thing in common, great nature and landscapes! Nature is such a big part of growing up in sweden so I've always been fascinated with the amazing national parks and landscapes in the US, especially north west! There's nothing like it in Europe.

@@Quzga really! I'm living in Singapore, actually. Would love to explore the natural landscape in Europe on my exchange next year. As a big nature lover myself Scandinavian countries have this magical allure. Cheers!

Sure, feel free to use whatever you need to!

The pickup ratio is actually way more here in Alberta where I'm from xD

Is that true? How is live there?

Where then?

It’s called Arcadia and it’s in Australia but it is literally a bay

It's about a video game.

Where I actually live in Alberta Canada, there is an even higher truck to car ratio.

There are no lighthouses in Garibaldi but there is one in Bayocean to the south and west of Garibaldi. It's the shortest lighthouse on the Oregon coast.
