Isn't that studio located in Vancouver? Cause I heard some of the cast moved there.

I went to school in Santa Barbara (University of California at Santa Barbara), so was hoping to see some scenes around Santa Barbara when I heard of the show and first watched it. I even asked my brother (who lives in Santa Barbara) if he had heard of a series being filmed there. I keep searching the backgrounds to see if I recognized the restaurants, etc. After the first show, I checked this site and discovered that this was filmed in Canada.

I guess the strange thing is that they claim it is Santa Barbara, but you'll see everyone wearing long sleeve shirts and looking rather cold... I also notice a lot of trees in the background that are obviously not Southern California.

I guess I'm wondering why they just didn't set the fictitious location as Seattle Washington or someplace in Oregon, as that would match up with the backgrounds, ocean, and weather a lot better?

Also, as another piece of trivia, the shot they had of the outside of the hospital where the chief delivered her baby was Good Samaritan Hospital in San Jose, California. I know, because our son was born there last July! I'm guessing this was just stock footage of the outside of a hospital that they grabbed, as I didn't remember any reference to where they were.

On that topic, I was actually really disappointed in how they handled the delivery of the chief's baby. I was expecting it to be a major focus of at least one episode, maybe two. You mean they had the police chief pregnant during several episodes, then just treated it as a short side story in one episode? They could have used the event a lot better than that!
