Welcome to Renton, one of the most livable cities in the Puget Sound region.

Located along the southern shore of Lake Washington, Renton is a culturally diverse, business-friendly city providing excellent business opportunities, wonderful dining experiences, a wide variety of shopping options and so much more. We enjoy

beautiful, well-main-tained parks and recre-ation facil-ities where families can relax and play, a nationally

recognized public school system for our children, world-class health care services, abundant natural beauty and a rich and diverse cultural heritage.

What makes Renton partic-ularly attractive is affordability, location and a quality of life enhanced by beautiful parks, safe streets and abundant hous-ing options. Urban apartments, downtown condominiums, lux-ury homes, beautiful multi-fam-ily developments along Lake Washington, and quality, afford-able single-family subdivisions are among the various housing options available to all income levels.

Looking for something to do? Stroll the Cedar River Trail, visit the Renton Historical Museum, take in breathtaking views at Gene Coulon Memorial Beach Park, or play a round of golf at the Maplewood Golf Course. Are you a movie buff? Join us May 22-28 for the fourth annual Renton/SIFF Seattle Internation-al Film Festival. And, if you like fresh produce, homemade foods and gorgeous flowers, you’ll enjoy our Farmers Market every Tuesday during the summer at

Piazza Park in downtown.Renton is home to a number

of world-class employers, includ-ing The Boeing Company Com-mercial Airplanes and PACCAR Parts and PACCAR Technology and IKEA. Renton’s friendly, pro-business climate attracts and keeps scores of businesses, in-cluding Fry’s Electronics stores, Wizards of the Coast, and Sam’s Club. The Landing in Renton offers something for everyone, from small, creative boutiques to bustling, brand-name shops to cozy cafes, restaurants, salons, spas and more. Renton’s down-town, the Highlands and other neighborhoods have several wonderful restaurants and retail stores.

In recent years Renton’s popu-lation has increased significantly, growing from a small work-

ing-class town to a wonderfully diverse community of nearly 96,000 people. Renton has an active population that cares deeply about this community, our schools, our neighborhoods, and the city itself. Public par-ticipation is the cornerstone of society, and Renton is fortunate to have active citizens who give their time and talents to make our community a better place.

And, of course, Renton is the home of the Seattle Seahawks, with their headquarters and state-of-the-art training facility located here. As 2014 Super Bowl champs, the Seahawks are poised to once again take the team to the Super Bowl, placing Renton squarely on the map. To paraphrase Russell Wilson, the quarterback of the Seattle Seahawks, “Go Renton!”

Fast, Easy Comfortable &

Affordable!

Getting aroundFinding a particular location isn’t hard –

if you know how to address the problem. Avenues run north and south. Streets and roads run east and west. Roads labeled “Place,” “Drive” and “Court” are general-ly offshoots.

For avenues, the numbers get higher as you go east from the City of Renton. For streets, the numbers get higher in a north-to-south direction.

And, of course, there’s the problem of different names for the same road. The county has its naming protocols, usually numbers, and the City of Renton has its protocols. The road names change depend-ing on whether the road is in the city or the county.

Carr Road/Petrovitsky Road is a good example. It’s the main street that runs past Valley Medical Center. On the Valley floor, it’s South 43rd Street. Going up the hill, it turns into Southeast Carr Road, then Southeast Petrovitsky Road – a name

it keeps all the way to Maple Valley. The county calls it Southeast 176th Street.

censing Driver Licensing Office in Renton is at 1314 Union Ave. N.E., Suite 4.

aged four months and older be licensed. The license must be on the animal at all times. Licenses are renewed annually. Fees are $25 for an altered dog or cat and $40 for an unaltered dog or cat. There are discounts for qualifying seniors.
