Mill Valley is a town with a strong sense of who it is. The Dipsea Race has been run through the same redwoods for more than a century. The counterculture put down roots and never really left. Music and art aren't amenities here — they're part of the town's DNA.
The Mill Valley Briefing covers the civic news and community stories that help residents stay informed and connected — through a newsletter, a podcast and live events that bring the community together.

Fire season no longer has an off season. Mill Valley felt that this year: its first power shutoff in five years, a wildfire within a half mile of downtown. A panel of local experts joins us to talk about what's working and what still isn't.
A podcast about the people who shaped Mill Valley: the musicians, artists, teachers, activists and characters who made this place what it is, and are still figuring out what it's becoming.
Hosted by a rotating group of locals who know this community from the inside, each episode is one conversation, recorded with care.
Track downtown storefront vacancies, plan your Dipsea run, price out Boyle Park or look up your street on the city's five-year paving plan. Original tools built alongside the reporting.
