San Rafael is located in the North Bay region of the San Francisco Bay Area. San Rafael is the county seat for Marin County, which is located just north of Downtown SF, across from the bay. Sometime after 2000 the U.S. Census Bureau estimated that San Rafael's population was north of 50,000 residents. The San Rafael shoreline has been historically filled to a considerable extent to accommodate land development, with underlying bay mud up to 90 feet in thickness. After the arrival of George Lucas in San Rafael in 1970 to film the movie THX 1138, the city became a center for the entertainment industry, particularly the high-tech elements of the business.
