The Pacific Sun just spotlighted The Hivery among the Best of Marin 2025!Ā Named Best Co-Working Office Space byĀ Pacific SunĀ readers, The Hivery in Mill Valley is more than just a place to work—it’s a movement. A hub for creativity, mentorship and meaningful connection, The Hivery provides women with the space and support they need to build the next chapter of their lives. Founder Grace Kraaijvanger built The Hivery on three guiding values: kindness, creativity and community. Her goal? To create a metaphorical—and literal—space where the creative and collaborative process is embraced not just by artists, but by anyone seeking purpose-driven work and a life that matters. ā€œIt’s a movement about working in an entirely different way,ā€ says Kraaijvanger on her site. ā€œWe hug, we belong, we learn, we mentor and we elevate.ā€ In Marin, where the line between work and purpose is often beautifully blurred, The Hivery proves that success doesn’t have to come at the expense of one’s soul.

The Redwoods, A Community of Seniors in Mill Valley, Is Building a Community That Thrives Today and Tomorrow

After a Friday night in Boston turned into a fractured pelvis, longtime Redwoods board member Robert Reynolds knew exactly where he wanted to be for his recovery: right here at The Redwoods. ā€œI found myself receiving the best of care with friendly, personalized, professional service from a facility that had enough staff to meet my every need—from pain management to therapy. ā€Robert’s gratitude wasn’t just for his own healing. He saw the same loving care extended to his roommate, a skilled nursing resident of three years. ā€œI would recommend The Redwoods to anyone who needs skilled nursing care. ā€This August, during National Make-A-Will Month, we’re reminded that the compassionate care Robert experienced is made possible because people like you believe in this community.

Clear Skies Ahead: County of Marin Allocates $2.2M for Strawberry Undergrounding Project – Bike Lanes Like in the Future!

The project involves building underground conduits for use by PG&E, AT&T and Comcast. It includes drilling horizontally under Highway 101. Construction will begin in early August and run though late October. Street parking will be limited during the project. The undergrounding will be followed by another phase that involves creating bike lanes, Moulton-Peters said.

ā€œThere’s been some initial work by the county looking at a bike path,ā€ she said. ā€œIt will potentially open up right of way space that could be used as a bike lane. That could be helpful for adults and older students who want to ride from Strawberry over the pedestrian overcrossing into Mill Valley to go to the middle school.ā€

Marin IJ Restaurant Review: Mill Valley’s Tamalpie Still Delivers Great Food, Cocktails

I’d describe the pizza served at Tamalpie in Mill Valley as one with a Neapolitan crust and California-style toppings. This style suits its clientele just fine. The crust is thinnish, softly chewy and just a little crisp on the bottom. Toppings are fresh and first-rate, like Hobbs’ meats and house-made tomato sauce. Tamalpie, which opened in 2011, is firmly grounded in Mill Valley at the foot of Mount Tamalpais with a list of pizzas named after hiking trails and old camps on the mountain, like Cascade, Railroad Grade and Bootjack.
