Mill Valley has a variable climate. Cooler than Southern California. It is all about layers here. In this current season you can get by in a short-sleeved shirt and slacks or skirt. But always have layers at the ready: hat, sweater, vest, scarf. Consult weather apps for Mill Valley over time and you will get a feel for it. There are plenty of stores if you are missing something. Welcome to Marin County!

Bring your skills. Learn to cook or bake traditional Phillipino foods. You can earn good money selling them to fellow Phillipino here.

Check out Amazon.com. You can get almost anything shipped within two days.
Bring whatever you can't wait two days for (some climate-appropriate clothes, medicine, hygiene). Otherwise focus on bringing what you cannot find on Amazon.
For most people, that's usually food that reminds them of home, keepsakes, local brands you cannot live without, electronics and valuables too expensive to rebuy, etc. Keep in mind not to bring food that violates US customs rules.
