The center of Redding lies in congressional district 1. San Francisco lists “Districts 1-22” (source), which we take to mean those districts, so Redding goes with San Francisco by our reading.
A routing engine puts the drive at 215 miles and 4 h 2 min at legal speeds with no traffic; the straight-line distance is 193 miles.

U.S. birth and marriage papers from Redding for an Israeli mission
A child born in Redding is registered with Israel on the strength of an original birth certificate (the mission’s birth notice page).
In California that certificate comes from the California Department of Public Health’s Vital Records office, in Sacramento (CDC, Where to Write for Vital Records); the fee is on the California page.
Redding is in Shasta County: for a marriage license issued there, the certified copy comes from the Shasta County Recorder (or its Clerk, for a confidential marriage), according to the CDC’s directory for California (CDC, Where to Write for Vital Records).
The mission takes it only with an apostille.
The California Secretary of State is the authority that puts the apostille on a document from California (HCCH list), before it is used in Israel.
