r/Prescott

Would love some late, last minute opinions. Thank you!

I got this text alert:

Yavapai Sheriff Alert: 07/04/2026 2:45 HRS WILDFIRE near YARNELL This is a GO Order for YCU-2408, YCU-2414. EVACUATE NOW. Shelter location:PRESCOTT VALLEY FAIRGORUNDS. Info:

Sounds pretty serious. I’d like to try to help. Looked on the Red Cross website for any local info. No luck. Does anyone know who to contact to help out if they need volunteers? Maybe I’ll just show up at the fairgrounds. I feel bad for these folks. Anyone ever help out in one of these fire evacuation situations? This is new to me.

EDIT: Latest alert- They are no longer directing evacuees to PV Fairgrounds but just towards Prescott in general.

Has anyone tried it? Do they do a good job of cleaning the interior of the vehicle?

We're looking to transition into something lower maintenance with less yard work, maybe closer to the trails. Are there any hidden fees or unexpected assessment issues we should watch out for in the local townhome communities? TYIA

I’m visiting from out of town. Where can I find high quality edibles that are good for pain management? Thanks.

An AirBnB behind my house is quite literally destroying my peace and health. There are constant parties, random people in my backyard, creepy strangers who leer at me and make comments about my family and body. I do not live in at around or near downtown where I would expect something like this and other than this house my neighborhood is very quiet and mostly families. I want this AirBnB gone but I don’t know the steps to take with the city. Can anyone help point me in the right direction? We have filed multiple complaints with the ‘owners’ and AirBnB but it’s managed by a property manager who does not care. I have documented police incidents and complaints from almost all surrounding neighbors as well. Anyone know where to start with the city?

Is there anywhere in town that can change/fix a scooter tire? Mine went flat again and I don’t have anyone to bring me to PV where I got it fixed last year

Not for dating per se, but for meeting other singles in our age group. I was hoping it would be a place to network and build community, maybe a monthly meeting at the Fairweather?

Any apartments in the area that are decent and pet friendly? We need one bed room (2 would be nice if we can afford it) preferably with a pool and in unit laundry.

Girlfriend and I are moving to Prescott. She’s been having some trouble finding a job so I was wondering what options she might have once we move? She doesn’t have a college degree and hasn’t had a job in a while so hopefully something entry level that will pay well and will overlook gaps in her resume.

Any thoughts on Prescott or Prescott valley for travel assignment? Will I be bored? Or decent place?

I was at Watson lake and paid the lady at the entrance $5 to park. I put the pass on my dash. I had my stinky water shoes in the car so I had the back seat windows cracked. After running around in the park I came back to my car and there was a parking ticket. I opened the car door and my parking pass was wedged in the window, by the mirror. It was kinda windy out so it must have gotten blown around. I went and spoke to the lady I paid at the park entrance. She said, "This happens all the time, I never saw the parking enforcement enter the park, but they may have been in an unmarked vehicle." Unmarked vehicle? Really?

I went down to the court house and the receptionist said they cannot see the tix as it was just issued and to call back in a few days. I showed her the tix and my parking pass, explained the situation and now I have to drive back to prescott (i live in scottsdale) or do a phone interview with the judge. She also stated they still may not dismiss the ticket as my pass was not directly on the dash.

Anyone have any experience with this? I dont understand why they even have parking enforcement if an attendant is literally at the entrance taking your money, why do they even have enforcement? You have to pay to enter. And why is this happening all the time, like the park lady said? R they just issuing tix in the hope that someone won't fight it?

Looking for somehwere in the area that's more alt (Like punk, metalhead, goth type hairstyles, more messy not gonna change what I want because they don't think it'll look good type deal) Tired of trying to get haircuts and them cutting it super short and tellin' me "Oh I don't want it to be too long or you'll look like a girl"

I went to Watson Lake earlier today and paid my 5$. Walked around the lake a bit and decided to drive to another entrance (Peavine Trail). We were just gonna fill our water bottles up and check to see where the trail goes for a bit so we walked around for about 20 mins and came back and like 3/4ths of the lot had parking tickets.

We are from out of town and in a rental car. I’m visiting because this is my wife’s hometown and she wanted to show me around. There is literally no way I can appear in court for this, and looking online it says the fine is $143. That fine is ridiculous. Over the past few days I’ve paid $5 to enter multiple parks. After talking to a local and doing a bit of research supposedly you only have to pay $5 for one park per day and it works for all of them? I just want to verify this. Regardless we didn’t put it in the windshield, I guess I just assumed it wasn’t going to be heavily enforced in a gravel parking lot with really nothing noteworthy around and probably only 1/8th full of cars.

If I could just pay them $25 or $50 or whatever a “usual” parking ticket is, I’d probably pay it, but now finding out that my ticket was valid but just not properly displayed, I’m really not sure how to handle it.

Thanks!
