Rehoming of pets is one of the main services the Humane Society performs. But it offers others: clinics for spaying or neutering pets and other veterinarian services, even an Animal Adventure Camp for primary school children ...

The atmospheric rivers parted, the bomb cyclone passed, the skies cleared and about a hundred people assembled at noon on Tuesday at the former Purity Building—which began life in 1921 as an agricultural warehouse for wine grapes—to mark the beginning of its transformation into...

In 2025 alone, Russian Riverkeeper—self-styled protector of the river—pulled roughly a half-million pounds of trash from its waters, a volume that has grown, year over year, for the past five years. To do so, the Healdsburg nonprofit organized 900 local volunteers across 75 separate cleanup events along its length.

Three recent incidents in downtown Healdsburg have residents wondering if it’s safe to dine at a parklet or even walk the sidewalks. In all cases, drivers not fully in command of their vehicles were involved in property damage accidents, though thankfully no one was hurt.

SIP founder Patrick Davis and his wife, Lauren Jenkins, are big fans of Healdsburg, Davis said, noting that every time he visits, he is impressed by the friendliness of the locals.

There’s a tradition in the news biz, at year’s end, of retracing all the major stories that unfolded during the 12 months prior. It feels like a healthy exercise—an opportunity to zoom out and let the bigger picture sink in, free from the frantic 24-hour news cycle (or, weekly in our case). It’s also a great reminder, though small-town life can seem humdrum, that we’re surrounded at all times by modern-day lore and legend...

Senior Ruby Leffew had her best game of the year, scoring 21 points to lead the Healdsburg Greyhounds to their third consecutive NBL-Redwood championship tournament trophy.

The third public meeting held in the effort to split Healdsburg’s electorate into districts, to satisfy the requirements of California’s Voting Rights Act, led to a general consensus among the council members to stick with their original preference: five districts each to elect a councilmember, with the mayor’s role rotating between them.
