Marin County is a special place to live, work and play. Our public schools are among the highest state rankings, our air is cleaner than other Bay Area counties and our many micro-climates offer residents unique options. The Golden Gate bridge symbolizes how close we are to one of the greatest US metropolitan cities, while the Marin Headlands and Mt Tamalpais remind us how far from the City we truly are.
