Weather forecast:
• As 'concerning' fire season nears, more local landowners turn to sheep and goats for help clearing brush (pressdemocrat.com) — Petaluma is leaning heavily on sheep and goats to clear parks, open spaces, and even neighborhood properties as fire season approaches, with city officials calling managed grazing a critical wildfire tool. Local residents are banding together to share animals and costs, while regional programs like LandSmart and the city’s own grazing initiative offer guidance and contacts for anyone wanting livestock to reduce fuel on their land.
• 4-bedroom house sells for $1.24 million in Petaluma (pressdemocrat.com) — A four-bedroom, single-story home on Allen Street in Petaluma just sold for $1.24 million, highlighting current prices in a popular neighborhood. Several nearby Petaluma properties on Timberline and Sheldrake lanes also closed between late 2024 and 2025, offering a snapshot of what comparable homes have been fetching locally.
• Baseball: Petaluma closing in on share of league title with latest victory (pressdemocrat.com) — Petaluma High’s baseball team is one win away from clinching at least a share of the Vine Valley Athletic League title after shutting out Sonoma Valley 4–0 behind a complete-game gem from Kalvin Okamura. Local rivals Casa Grande have already locked up at least a share, so Thursday’s home rematch with the Dragons will decide whether Petaluma joins them or cedes the crown outright.
