City Watch

City government works for the people of Renton. I'll help explain the inner workings of your government, let you know what the City Council is up to and, occasionally, weigh in with my own opinion.

There are a lot of Seahawks’ fans out there and a whole bunch of them are going to land on Renton’s doorsteps come Monday for the first team practice at the wonderful Virginia Mason Athletic Center. Just to make sure those fans feel welcome, the City Council will undoubtedly adopt Mayor Denis Law’s proclamation marking August as “Renton Welcomes Seahaw Fans to Training Camp Month”  Monday night. Fans: Enjoy the day Monday and many more throughout the summer. And next Friday read our special section called The Meaning of 12.
