Marin County - The Modern Miracle

Marin County is located in the Bay Area north of San Francisco across the Golden Gate Bridge and is one of California smallest counties. The county invested in land conservation very early on, so there is a ton of open space. Some call Marin the center of the nation’s organic farming movement. Visually it’s stunning and peaceful, considering across the bridge is one of the largest, lively cities in the unites states. Marin's filming locations range from rocky coastlines to ranches, rolling hills and redwood groves.

Have lived here for 40 years I am greatful. Always have been

[@phillewis1646]

One of the better videos on Marin county on youtube. Thank you.

[@rybfish76]

This video was well produced and edited, kudos to the production team for creating a great video representing the bay area.

[@CaliforniaTravelVideos]

Truly deep in the heart of God's country - excellent video, commentary and narration, bravo!!!

[@LucasLee-bd6gk]

The ecosystem seems very friendly

[@dukesutherland4868]

I remember going to Slide Ranch for a field trip. It was a lot better than I expected.

[@Repackrider84]

Love it!

[@bluebiegrace1828]

I love the Bay Area ❤.

I’ve lived in Marin since 1965, when I was five years old. It is just so beautiful. I’ve been in San Rafael for most of that time and find the summers too hot, and my location is subject to flooding, I’m currently drying out my house from last weekend’s 20 inches of rain and the resulting flooding. The traffic has become a lot worse over the decades, but I try to go out in between the commute hours. If one can afford it, it’s a great place to live.

Hi Kimberly, I’m writing a book that takes place in Marin (Mostly Ross and SF) in the late 60s (1967-1970), yet I’ve never been to the west nor lived through the 60s! Is there anyway I can reach you and ask you a bit about what you remember?

[@markray4416]

San Francisco Born and Raised; lived in Hurricane Gulch Sausalito, Blythdale Canyon Mill Valley and Belvedere Island. Family spent ‘70s Summers at Las Galinas Swim Club, Terra Linda to find the sun during foggy SF Summertime. Marin is sublime, a place with soul and even in 2020 only 250,000 fortunate folks call her home . . .

I am so lucky to live in Marin. Enjoy the abundance of trails and people who care about the outdoors lifestyle. 👍

[@quinnn05]

I also live in marin! im from larkspur, how about you?

[@davewitter6565]

If you have a little extra time and money it is wonderland. If you are just getting by with paying the rent, trying to buy a house and start a family, it is a challenge.

[@robinalbachten5221]

Very pleasant and well done film but as far as capturing the soul and history of Marin... honey , it looks as though you had a short layover at SFO and went on a Sunday drive to visit a couple of random friends. My family roots in Marin go back 120 yrs and I am one of countless native born who could help.. Where is your interview with the Coastal Miwok tribe members or the old hippie from Bolinas or the artist/musician(and not the rock stars who transplanted there) who were tragically forced out of their homeland due gentrification as a result record high rents ... I hope you can spend more time in Marin in order to capture Marin's soul This isn't it.....so I say visit and film again !

[@FinnMiller-xg2yv]

Nice

[@ryanwitwickifaddegon4291]

Marin is beautiful I grew up here.

[@nancied4955]

Grew up in Marin left at 41 years old... I am surprised that there was no mention of Samuel P. Taylor park or the Marin Art & Garden Center or the Greengulch Zen Center or Muir Woods. Respectfully, clearly not a native Marinitte who made this film.

[@Repackrider84]

Old school memories! Awesome.

[@serenar7175]

Amazing view❤️

[@HelenFire420]

Growing up in Marin County. I’ve noticed since it is so small and most of it is open space. Everyone kinda knows everyone. You even start to pick up on some of the dark things people are involved with or have done. Besides the Lululemon wearing Rich people, there is a lot of people living extremely low key lives in the middle of nowhere, ether due to tax evasion or something else.

[@openrealm]

I'm watching in hope of learning about where are these low-key areas you speak of.

[@FireTheFaith95]

Sometimes in Novato I see rich guys with Audis that are also sweaty and nervous lol. Maybe that’s an example

[@bp51082]

Definitely from Fairfax west, out in the valleys, Bolinas etc. A little less common in the cities.

[@dukesutherland4868]

"Lululemon wearing Rich people" perfectly describes Ross.

[@jonathanvermillion7263]

Awesome!

[@caroljohnstone4800]

Correction: McEvoy Ranch is in Petaluma which is Sonoma County (not Marin). Love this video but the music under the narrator is distracting

[@FleshGolem420]

So it's an odd thing about that area. A lot of places have Petaluma addresses but are on the Marin side of the line. They're probably a bit closer to Novato. Just one of those weird historical things.

[@mrizali6382]

Nice Video, I like this

[@joseromagosagironella8002]

Este condado lleva el nombre del pueblo de Marín, sito en la provincia española de Pontevedra, en el que está ubicada la Escuela Naval Miliar de Marín. Es un pueblo de pescadores en el corazón de la Ría de Marín y un lugar en verdad paradisíaco. Yo hice en esa Escuela mi tercer curso de la Milicia Naval Universitaria y en él me gradué como Teniente de Infantería de Marina (Spanish "marines"), conocí a mi mujer, marinense hija de marino, y me casé con ella en 1958 en su antigua iglesia de la Virgen del Puerto. Me gustaría conocer el origen de ese topónimo que se dió al Marín de SanFrancisco. Tal vez se deba a algún colonizador español natural del Marín de Galicia, de los que exploraron California en tiempo de Juníper Serra y Gaspar de Portolá. Si alguien sabe algo al respecto, le agradecería lo indicara en este sitio. Saludos. Pepe Romagosa, Madrid, España.

[@kiezorfc8559]

Looks lovely about as lovely as Edinburgh Scotland

[@MalcolmRuthven]

Nothing about the amazing Civic Center, designed by Frank Lloyd Wright!

[@milk808]

Funny, I think I saw you in a gear list video?

[@carriealbachten6796]

What Robin Albachten said!!!!!

[@lisica8458]

Yes. Marin reminds me of the Costa Brava, too.

Marin used to be beautiful. Safe. Clean. The people (when I came) kind. Not anymore. In the last few years it has begun to undergo ghettoization. Graffiti. (There used to be none.) Trash. Dumping. (They have had to REMOVE some public garbage cans because of it.) Drugs. (There were always some here but the larger amounts coming in now are coming from outside the county.) Homelessness. (If you build it they will come. They came and are still coming.) Crime. Anyone watching this video who is thinking of coming here? Save yourself the trouble. Marin is changing and it is not for the better. (I know. I've lived here for decades.) The beauty of Marin is fading. It is sad to behold. 😓

[@earlybird3668]

very nice, but not as nice as: Sonoma County! haha! they did invent MTBs so that is nice.

[@yesic7196]

Beautiful scenery. Marin however hates BIPOC

[@cncfan]

I grew up in Marin, beautiful place. But the truth is those land conservation efforts were used to keep Marin segregated. They like to use nice words to hide the true meaning of why they did what they did. Live anywhere else in the Bay Area and return to Marin and you’ll see exactly what I mean.

[@ryanwitwickifaddegon4291]

Yes Marin has it's dark side. But also has a beautiful side too. I grew up here still live here, mostly just hike and stay home these days.

[@ryanwitwickifaddegon4291]

Everyone has a dark side, no one is innocent.

[@sfface46]

Really, what happened to Marin City.

[@igottheshaft]

Sounds like a great place to me, thanks for the tip!

[@erichansen7161]

I live in Marin so I don't have to live over there. You know what I mean right.

"we've got" jack WTF marin county is where I was raised, Ill never go back.3rd generation, GONE

[@bp51082]

Sounds like a personal issue. Also native, glad to be back. If you think this is a shithole, you've got a very interesting definition. Not for everyone, but shithole it ain't by nearly any definition. guessing you've never been to a slum and a third world country where there is true poverty and ecological devastation.
