Renton City Hall is located in a seven-story building on South Grady Way and houses a multitude of city services including the Executive Department, the City Attorney, Community and Economic Development, Community Services, Finance and Information Technology, Fire and Emergency Services, Human Resources and Risk Management, Police Department and Public Works Department. Renton incorporated on September 6, 1901. In its early days, Renton's economy thrived on coal mining. Boeing took over as the economic driver in 1941 after the airplane manufacturer ramped up the production of B-29s for the war effort.
Renton Senior Activity Center provides health services, as well as recreational and social activities to seniors aged 50 years old and above, free of charge. The facility strives to provide seniors with increased socialization, fun daily activities and friendship and features a welcoming and homey atmosphere. It is not a personal or medical care center and seniors who attend are independent. The staff is made up of local volunteers and welcomes those interested in volunteering here and among senior citizens in the community.
The center's space is available for rent and includes a banquet room, views, a fountain, an outdoor patio, hardwood floors and a stage. Rentals are offered on Fridays and Saturdays.
