📰 News we're reading
• In Your Town for Aug. 31, 2026 (marinij.com) — Overnight lane closures are coming to southbound Highway 101 by Sausalito as Caltrans repairs a rock slide between Spencer and Alexander avenues, starting the evenings of Sept. 8 and lasting about a month. Expect up to three lanes closed from 7 p.m. to 5 a.m. on weekdays, so plan your late-night commutes or airport runs accordingly. 
• California Sea Lions Are Seizing on Beaches Amid a Spike in Toxic Algae Poisonings, Rescuers Warn (people.com) — Sausalito's Marine Mammal Center is receiving a surge of poisoned sea lions from the Central Coast, treating animals suffering seizures and disorientation from toxic algae. While strandings are happening farther south, the center urges anyone, including Marin visitors, to stay at least 150 feet from distressed animals and call its hotline instead of attempting a rescue.
