Today's riddle: What did one strawberry say to the other strawberry? 🤔 (Answer below!)
1. Petaluma Fire Spreads Into Solar Facility (patch.com) — Residents near Highway 101 in Petaluma saw a fast-moving brush fire grow to four acres Sunday evening before firefighters stopped its spread at a nearby solar facility by San Antonio Road. Multiple agencies from Sonoma and Marin counties responded, and crews stayed on scene to extinguish hot spots and strengthen control lines, limiting damage and preventing further threat to the area.
2. Gunfire, Explosives, Hostage Fake Report Send Police To Petaluma Home (patch.com) — A dramatic report of gunfire, an injured elderly woman, and explosives brought a heavy police and fire response to a Petaluma home, only for officers to discover it was a false swatting call. Danby Court residents experienced road restrictions and a safety alert until police confirmed the elderly occupant was unharmed and cleared the house, and investigators now seek whoever made the hoax report.
3. Community Matters: How to up your recycling game (petalumanews.com) — Petaluma residents looking to recycle better can take advantage of the Petaluma Recycling Center's low-contamination, CRV-focused services and new 24/7 "drop and go" bag system. The article explains why many blue-bin containers never get recycled, highlights state incentive changes, and shows how this locally run facility also provides job training for adults with developmental disabilities while expanding regional sustainability efforts.
4. Missing Petaluma Man Found Safe Traveling Over 150 Miles, Thanks To Flock Camera Network (patch.com) — An at-risk older Petaluma resident who went missing Friday was safely located in Humboldt County after Petaluma police used the Flock license plate reader network to track his car across several Northern California counties. The coordinated search with multiple agencies ended late that night, and his family has been notified, highlighting how regional camera systems now support local missing-person cases.
5. How much did the 6 most expensive homes sell for in Petaluma last week? (pressdemocrat.com) — If you're watching Petaluma's housing market, six properties sold recently, topped by a Ruby Street home that closed at $1.05 million. Prices ranged from a $399,000 Mauro Pietro Drive condo to several single-family homes around town, with an average sale price just over $840,000 and per-square-foot costs that show how competitive local real estate remains.
