Residents of San Geronimo Valley and surrounding areas refer to it as "The Valley." It is a fairly closely-knit community, with a rather liberal citizenry. The farther west, the more forested the land becomes. The valley is bisected by Sir Francis Drake Boulevard; a number of streets in the towns along this road were constructed on the former right of way of the Northwestern Pacific Railroad. The valley has has numerous hiking/biking trails. Most of the valley's residents reside on the south side of the valley, which is the shadier side.The main businesses in the Valley are the Woodacre Store, Video West, the Little Store, and the Lagunitas Store, though there are numerous others. The nonprofit organization, [http://seaturtles.org Sea Turtle Restoration Project] also has its headquarters here. San Geronimo Valley is also home to the Lagunitas Watershed in which some of the last remaining coho salmon spawn.
