What Marin County does
to a microwave.

Where microwaves sit in Marin County: on the water, seasonal houses, trim kits and drawers.

All of San Francisco Bay Area

On the water

Salt air off the ocean or a bay corrodes a microwave's latch hooks, lamp sockets and the contacts behind its touchpad, and a unit that starts only after a second close is showing that corrosion at its door interlocks.

Seasonal houses

A caretaker opening a house for the season may find the microwave's clock blinking, and often it only needs setting; if it hums without heating, it waits for a visit rather than a second try.

Trim kits and drawers

Premium and European microwaves in a specified kitchen take parts that only their makers supply, so the model number is read from the data plate when the visit is booked and the part arrives with the technician.

Tiburon

Tiburon incorporated in 1964, shares ZIP code 94920 with Belvedere and, apart from its borders with Corte Madera and Mill Valley, is mostly surrounded by the bay.

Belvedere

Many houses around Belvedere Lagoon went up in the 1950s and 1960s, with architect-designed mid-century modern homes prominent and most lots facing the water.

Corte Madera

Around Corte Madera's Old Square, homes from the town's early years still show the New England-influenced architecture of the late 1880s.

Larkspur

About 46 percent of Larkspur's housing dates from the 1960s and 1970s, per 2020–2024 American Community Survey data.

Mill Valley

Detached houses make up about 70 percent of Mill Valley's homes, and buildings of 20 or more units only about 6 percent, in the Census Bureau's 2020–2024 survey estimates.

Novato

Novato grew quickly after World War II as tract homes and a freeway arrived.

Ross

More than half of the homes in Ross, about 52 percent, were built before 1940, by Census Bureau estimates for 2020–2024.

San Anselmo

Wealthy people displaced from San Francisco once made their San Anselmo summer homes permanent, and much of the town's south and west sits on a natural floodplain.

San Rafael

Much of San Rafael's shoreline is filled land laid over bay mud that runs as deep as 90 feet.

Sausalito

About a quarter of Sausalito's housing predates 1940, and another 40 percent went up in the 1960s and 1970s, according to American Community Survey figures for 2020–2024.
