Renton
Renton is not only a great community in which to live, work, learn, and play, it is also an amazing place in which to shop, dine, visit, and do just about anything else!
Renton sits at the southern shore of Lake Washington in close proximity to downtown Seattle, SeaTac airport and the eastside. It has maintained a hometown feel despite growing, in recent years, to be the fifth largest city in King County with over 62,000 residents. Originally founded as a coal-mining town, it has developed into an industrial power as a long-time base for Boeing and PACCAR. New employers include IKEA, Wal-Mart, Fred Meyer and several car dealerships. Urban apartments, condos and single family homes offer diverse housing options for all income levels.
Leslie’s Favorites:
- The Landing (shopping, dining & movies): (New outdoor shopping center featuring restaurants, shopping and a movie theatre.)
- Gene Coulon Waterfront Park: (Spacious waterfront park at the southern edge of Lake Washington).
