Vallejo visits their sister city of Ensenada, Mexico

Hello Vallejo


What a fantastic 707 Week our community enjoyed! I hope you were able to take part in the celebrations and experience everything that makes Vallejo and Solano County so special.



You may have noticed that the Weekly looks a little different. We’re transitioning from the flipbook magazine style to a more streamlined, email‑friendly single‑column layout. This new format makes it easier to read on any device and gives us far more flexibility with story length, visuals, and multimedia. Our goal is to create a more engaging experience and reach a broader audience. We hope you enjoy the refreshed look, and we welcome your feedback.
