The City of San Rafael has a population of approximately 61,271 residents in 22.51 square miles and lies midway between San Francisco and California’s famous wine county and serves as the county seat and Marin's central city. San Rafael is the County's premier economic, financial, cultural and service center. As a regional transportation hub, San Rafael is in the center of highway and transit access to west Marin, Sonoma County, the East Bay and San Francisco.

The City of San Rafael offers both a small-town atmosphere and a lively urban environment; it is the economic and cultural heart of Marin County, and its high quality of life is centered on its commercial districts, engaged neighborhoods, active lifestyles, and natural environments. Surrounded by open space and the bay, San Rafael is a vibrant city in an incomparably beautiful natural setting. Famous for its favorable climate, San Rafael makes a central base for taking day trips to scenic locations such as the Napa/Sonoma wine country, Point Reyes National Seashore and Muir Woods. San Rafael's many attractions include its namesake Mission San Rafael Arcangel, the landmark Frank Lloyd Wright Civic Center, Victorian architecture, a lively downtown, China Camp State Park, and more. The City is home to major employers such as Autodesk, Kaiser Permanente and BioMarin and offers residents and visitors alike an array of regional retailers in addition to unique local shops. San Rafael’s diverse community, history, culture, modern sensibilities, and ideal location in the northern Bay Area region are advantages that are found only in the City of San Rafael.
