1. 'Fawn' In A Million: Fremont Photo Of The Day (patch.com) — A local photographer captured a fawn with its mother along the south end of Lake Elizabeth in Fremont, highlighting a quiet moment of wildlife in the city.

2. Police Warn Of Fraudsters Impersonating Fremont City Staff To Collect Fake Fees (patch.com) — Fremont police are warning residents about scammers posing as city staff and sending fake emails demanding immediate permit or application payments.

Sharing this warning with neighbors can help protect more Fremont households.
3. Wahab Holds Narrow Lead Over Hernandez in Tight CA-14 Runoff City of Fremont (opgov.news) — Fremont voters are at the center of a razor-thin special runoff for California's 14th Congressional District, with State Sen. Aisha Wahab holding a slim lead over Melissa Hernandez as thousands of ballots remain uncounted.

4. Fremont Police Department receives accreditation (tricityvoice.com) — Fremont's Police Department has earned prestigious CALEA accreditation, placing it among a small group of highly vetted law enforcement agencies worldwide and in California. The multi-year process required stronger policies, transparency measures, and regular readiness checks.

5. A Sloped, Narrow Lot Becomes a Light-Filled California Family Retreat (plainmagazine.com) — A tech family turned a tricky sloped lot in Fremont into a bright, private retreat by tucking lower levels into the hillside and staggering upper floors for light and space. Thoughtful design details like skylights, courtyards, and separate decks for bedrooms create an indoor-outdoor feel that could inspire Fremont homeowners eyeing their own remodels.
