Renton’s 125th birthday is more than a milestone, it’s a celebration of a community shaped by generations of Renton residents whose stories built this city.
Founded on September 6, 1901, Renton grew from Duwamish homelands at the meeting of the Black and Cedar rivers into a bustling hub for coal miners, loggers, and later workers at PACCAR and Boeing.
Each wave of newcomers and life-long residents have contributed to the city’s laws, neighborhoods, businesses, culture, and community. and cultural life.
As we mark 125 years, we want to honor the people who have shaped the Renton that we know and love today!
Here is how we are celebrating!
