The people behind ColeValleySF
A website dedicated to the Cole Valley neighborhood and its' residents.
We are Cole Valley residents that saw that our neighborhood, as amazing as it is, does not have a user friendly, up-to-date, online resource. The goal of this website is to provide the most comprehensive information possible for our community. No sugar coating here - we provide a space that is informative and unbiased (although, if we do say so ourselves, we love living in Cole Valley).
We hope you like the site we've created. Visit our blog to converse around issues in the neighborhood or post items on the Neighborhood Exchange. Also, follow us on Twitter @ColeValleySF!
Have issues, comments, or questions? Want to see specific topics on the site? Want to write a blog? Know of any events that are going on in the neighborhood that you want to see on this site? Fill out the contact sheet on the Contact Us page! We'll be sure to get back to you as soon as possible.

Meet the Team
We here at ColeValley SF pride ourselves on our love of Cole Valley and the San Francisco Bay Area. We're a mixture of long timers, new comers, and past Cole Valley residents.
Judette Tobes Platz
Founder and Executive Director
Judette is a native San Franciscan and was a resident of Cole Valley before moving to Forest Hill in the summer of 2012. She created this site to pull together a neighborhood and to highlight all the cool things the neighbors do! As an ex-higher education administrator, she worked professionally to bring college student residence halls together and build community. Now she's hoping to do the same for Cole Valley. You'll see her around running early in the morning or walking up regularly to Tank Hill. Let her know of any feedback because it will only make the site better!
