We love Sonoma County. In fact, we feel incredibly lucky to live in such a beautiful area. But just like every other place, our county has plenty of quirks. We reached out and asked for some things you, as Sonoma County residents, would never be caught saying about the place we call home and received an overwhelming amount of responses. Some shared thoughts about our pleasant commute traffic, while others commended the low cost of living... Oh, you disagree? You're not alone.
