To do before the kid arrives:

Clear some space
Rearrange the computer setup
Put away the laundry
Clean the kitchen

To do soon after the kid arrives:

Buy a dresser or get one on freecycle
Sign the kid up for school
Get the kid a bus pass
Have a welcome-to-the-bay-area party for the kid?

And I'm sure there are a million other things, but that's the most pressing stuff right now.

Where I come from (San Diego), one cannot pick one's school, so I still have to figure out what is involved in selecting a school for her. She's 16 1/2, so it's also an option to have her take the CHSPE (she's a genius) and just move on to college, if that's what she wants. We'll talk.

(Homeschooling is an option; private or boarding schools are options, but we'd need scholarships. Other ideas are welcome. If I were willing to pretend to be keeping her at stonebender's place, we could check out the San Leandro schools...)

Thanks for your help/advice.

OK, you've got my email, and this conversation is getting rather private. (With regards to your niece, if no one else.)
