The county seat of Monterey County, Salinas has population of 155,564, making it the region’s most populous city by a long shot. Author John Steinbeck called Salinas home and set many of his novels in the area, notably East of Eden. (Now it’s home to the National Steinbeck Center, a museum dedicated to the author.) Famous as the “Salad Bowl of the World,” the area is rich in agriculture history and produces strawberries, lettuce, tomatoes, and spinach, among numerous other crops.
The Salinas City Council holds regular public meetings on the second and fourth Tuesday at 4 p.m.Meetings are livestreamed and archived video of past meetings is available online.

The dust has settled from the November election, with the vote certified on Dec. 3—the same day new members of Salinas City Council were sworn in.
Nearly a year after its previous police chief resigned, the Salinas Police Department has a new chief. Two interim chiefs later, Carlos Acosta’s first day on the job was Nov. 29.
After some back and forth, the 2024 Salinas Holiday Parade Of Lights is back on the calendar for Sunday, Dec. 1.
Gloria De La Rosa knows how to throw a party. To the sound of live mariachi, Tex-Mex and cumbia music, she awaits the results of the Nov. 5 election. Even before the results come in, the atmosphere is festive with drinks flowing and supporters dancing on the dance floor at 201 Main in downtown Salinas.
