• Sizable Earthquake Rattles Bay Area Overnight: Did You Feel It? (patch.com) — North Bay residents, including many in Healdsburg, were jolted just after midnight by a 4.2 magnitude earthquake east of Cloverdale, followed by a smaller aftershock. The shaking was widely felt across Healdsburg and surrounding counties, though there were no early reports of damage or injuries. Experts note the temblor fits into a recent pattern of heightened seismic activity along regional faults.
   

• North Bay at a crossroads: Economist warns of stagnation, structural shifts, uneven paths forward (pressdemocrat.com) — Healdsburg’s strong visitor appeal is a bright spot in a North Bay economy that an SSU economist says is stagnating, with flat jobs, soft housing prices, and a wine industry under structural pressure. He warns Sonoma County’s more scattered wine regions, including Healdsburg, face tougher competition than Napa, and urges coordinated regional planning on housing, workforce, and industry shifts.
