Alameda County, California
Alameda County sits on the eastern side of the San Francisco Bay. Home to cities like Oakland and Berkeley, it’s where culture and tech meet. It actually includes part of Silicon Valley.
With a population over 1.6 million, it’s no small place. The University of California, Berkeley, is a crown jewel, drawing minds from around the world.
Interstate 580 and 880 keep things moving, whether you’re commuting or catching a game at the Coliseum. It’s where the Raiders used to play before they left for Vegas.
