Discounted tickets for bounce house America event today! ‼️‼️‼️

My son came down with a fever yesterday, so unfortunately, we cannot attend. I have tickets for one toddler, three and under although I am sure you could get away with a four-year-old, and one adult. The event timeslot is from 9 AM to 12 PM. My son went earlier this year and he said it was the best day of his life. It is a pretty awesome experience for a little one. Willing to part for a generous discount! Message me if you are interested.

Cute affordable wineries

Hi all! Looking to book two nights in Petaluma next April. Before doing so, looking to confirm there are at least 2 wineries of interest for us nearby.

Any recommendations for wineries that are within 20 mins drive and satisfy the following criteria?

  • on the smaller scale, boutique like
  • preference for reds
  • affordable tastings (below 30 USD pp)

Thank you!

I have recently moved and am in need of insuring my car and house. I'd be interested in hearing what companies people are using for auto insurance, home insurance, or both.

Do you have an agent you are happy with and would recommend?

Thanks in advance for any information on who to contact.

I love the view from the top of this hill.

I’ve got a small car, I really should pull over sometime and get some better shots sometime.

Where is the cheapest Mexican store in Petaluma?

I'm looking for an authentic place to buy Mexican groceries. I've poked my head into Lola's market but the prices seem rather high. Is there a cheaper place around? Maybe Ortega's market?

Why are so many people against this hotel in downtown Petaluma?

I keep seeing plenty of signs across the city against the downtown proposed hotel and the overlay zoning they plan on doing for it. What gives? I feel like hotels are usually non-controversial and double up as extra beds during emergencies. Am I missing something here? I feel this hotel would be a win win for the city

Anyone making electronic music?

Is there anyone in Petaluma who is interested in making electronic music? Electronic music has been my passion for 30 years and I’m just looking for people who share the interest. I’m thinking maybe getting together, listening to each others creations and hang out, maybe on a monthly basis? Give constructive feedback and maybe learn a thing or two. I’m on the west side.

Why are houses east of 101 so much cheaper compared to houses west of 101

I am considering moving to Petaluma in the next year or so due to job change. I have only been to Petaluma a couple of times. I am not familiar with the housing market. It looks like the houses east of 101 are a lot cheaper than the houses west of 101. It is like $750,000 vs $1,250,000.

Can someone explain to me why the house prices are so different?

Thanks.

AT&T or Comcast?

Folks, what do we think about these two services? Trying to switch internet providers and both seem to think they’re the fastest in the city. Any experience I can lean to help me make this decision?

P-Town Guitarist/Singer - Looking for band

hey folks, intermediate guitarist (49) and singer looking for likeminded folks to jam and gig with around the Sonoma area (I'm in Petaluma). I have a pretty broad range of taste - from classic rock, hard rock and metal, power-pop, garage-rock, through to 90s alt-rock/grunge. I'm passionate and dedicated and looking to find some similar folks to play once or twice a month, and most important to hang out and have fun with. Happy to join an existing setup if you're looking for someone likeminded to fill a spot in something existing - also while I love singing, happy to fill a guitar sport if you already have vocals sorted. Drop me a note if you want to meet up and chat more.

Gravenstein apple?

Where can I buy a gravenstein apple in or near Petaluma?

I don't want a whole bushel/box, just one or two apples. Instacart says the closest store is Pacific Market (13.8 miles away) but I'm wondering if any local grocery stores sell them? Thanks for the info.

Questions related to living in Petaluma

Looking into moving to Petaluma or somewhere right south of it in 2026. What are the taxes & cost of living like? I’ve looked into real estate already so I’m already aware of those costs. Up front, we will be making around 200k a year

Local morning talk radio

I don’t listen to radio. Well, I didn’t, until half the county was on fire and KSRO was there to keep me sane. Afterwards, I started listening to the morning show when I was out and about. JUST the morning show, because it wasn’t hyperconservative syndicated stuff, like most of the lineup. It was useful content, sometimes with interviews.

Well, I was hospitalized on and off for a few weeks this summer, and then recovering at home. By the time I got back out on the road, the morning show had been permanently replaced by Brian Kilmeade.

Is there another Sonoma County morning show that isn’t obnoxious “Morning Drive Bros!!!” filler?
