• Pet registration must be updated on or before Dec. 31 (lwweekly.com) — If you own a dog or cat in Seal Beach Mutual housing, you must update your pet’s registration and, for dogs, City of Seal Beach licenses by Dec. 31 each year. The article explains required documents, senior license fees, and how to complete or renew registration through the Stock Transfer Office or online.
   

• Honor family and friends with a charitable contribution to the GAF (lwweekly.com) — Residents can honor loved ones by making commemorative or memorial donations to the Golden Age Foundation, which supports community services in and around Seal Beach. Contributions can be mailed to the Seal Beach P.O. Box or dropped in the Clubhouse 6 Hospitality Center box, and both donors and honorees receive written acknowledgements for their records.
   

• Orange County Drivers Are Increasingly Helping Patch City Budgets (voiceofoc.org) — Parking rules in nearby cities like Fullerton, Orange, and Placentia are tightening as officials look to close budget gaps, and Seal Beach is one of the models they’re using to set prices and hours. As more Orange County cities adopt overnight permits, paid lots, and privatized enforcement, Seal Beach drivers could see similar approaches considered or expanded locally.
