With a population of approximately 62,000, San Rafael serves as the county seat and is the premier economic, financial, cultural, and service center. San Rafael is the economic and cultural heart of Marin County, and its outstanding quality of life is centered on its commercial districts, diverse neighborhoods, engaged community, active lifestyle, and natural environment. The City offers both a small-town feel and a lively urban atmosphere.
