This is what I plan on doing, more because it is my only option than because I think it is best. I am a little worried about broccoli and cauliflower becuase it looks like they should be started like at minimum 9 weeks before the first frost (which could come late October). But other fall stuff should be okay I think you could probably even wait a little later with Spinach, but given that it hasn't been an overly hot summer this might not be a concern.

When will you plant the snap peas?

Any advice on beets?

Plant now for the broccoli at least. Spinach is tough because it really struggles to germinate in the heat- I'd wait a bit longer. Fall spinach will often come back in the spring in my experience.
