they live in a large town/mini city in south cali..I don't think it was that big of an operation at first. They did grow, but for whatever reason, they just had one pool complex.
but once you think about it, it's was kinda stupid for the yeerks to only have one pool... have to wonder if there where more...

in one of the inside cover pictures it shows a cop with oregon pd on his badge, forget which one ill have to find thatI think you're talking about book 39.
Personally I always pictured it where Sunnydale is in Buffy. Which is to say it's near (or is the Ani-verse' version of) Santa Barbra.
I don't know about it being in southern California. I was always more inclined to believe it was in the northern part of the state. The climate matches more and that's where the big forests and mountains are. The south is more dried out. Also, some of the animal species mentioned are more likely to be in the northern part of the state.
Is it ever actually stated to be north or south?
Before I found out they lived in American, I used to hope it was Australia haha :)
After the series its confirmed that they lived in south cali, but in one of the inside cover pictures it shows a cop with oregon pd on his badge, forget which one ill have to find that
Hi! Just found this forum recently and have finished most of the books now. :)
I've wondered about where the Animorphs live for a while now.
I checked what you all wrote here and remembered that in book 51 they said the Capitol was over 200 miles away. I'm guessing it wouldn't be too much over 200 miles.
I googled a little, as I don't know much about California (I'm from Germany). From the distance it could be either Eureka (about 209 miles from Sacramento) or San Luis Obispo (about 230 miles from Sacramento), considering that the city is near the coast.
I tried to google deserts as well. The Mojave Desert seems to be not too far from San Luis Obispo.
So, San Luis Obispo is my best guess.
What do you think? Could that be right?

I can't remember where I got this from, but I think it was mentioned (by either K.A or in the books) that the one in their town wasn't the only Yeerk Pool, but it was the largest and the most developed one that they had so far.
Remember, the Yeerks weren't invading on Earth for very long when the Animorphs began. Maybe about 5-6 years? Edriss (Visser One) and Essam were on Earth for several years making a life for themselves (and building up The Sharing), however, the secret invasion didn't start to fully take off until Edriss presented the Humans to the Yeerks and was promoted to Visser One (with Marco's mom).
I'm not saying that I disagree with everyone but there is another possibility. The East coast.
Rachel have acquired an "endemic species" (which means a species that only exist in one place on the planet) in this case. Two American states in the east coast. And it's not harder to sail to Singapore from the east coast. You just use the Panama Canal.

Awesome map. But shouldn't the Yeerk Pool extend under the mall, as well? And probably the down-town area, too; since they mention entrances in car-washes and such.
For that matter, most of the time, malls are in (or at least close to) down-town areas, aren't they? Why do you have "Downtown" so far away from everything else?
I still really like the map. I'm just pointing out things.
Also, I'd say that Erek's house is probably a bit further from the Yeerk pool. Otherwise, the pool complex and the Chee park would probably have intersected at some point...This is a good point. The Chee would have wanted their Sanctuary to be as far away from the Yeerk Concentration as possible.
Actually, that'd be an interesting fic... The Yeerk pool expansion getting too close to the Chee Park... Hm... Maybe I'll include something about it in my Pemalite Chronicles...
where in the last book does it say it took place in cali?....?!?!?!?!?!?! U talkin 2Me?
No, because when they fly back from the arctic, they do it with raptor morphs. Raptor morphs that wouldn't make the haul across the Pacific without rest.

They have also acquired species available only on the west cost.
The did get a lot of morphs from the zoo.
Mira, Think, which species are you thinking of?
The one that comes to mind off is the green anole.

The Andalites brought her to California. Near
the devastation that was all that was left of our
homes.
According to Wikipedia they live in Santa Barbara.
Visser makes it clear that they live in California, but not Los Angeles.
Before I read Visser I thought they lived in Carolina (as a result of reading too much VC Andrews) or some other southern state.
