THE NEIGHBORHOOD
I was born and raised in this neighborhood and have lived here from childhood to starting my own family and I spent my summers as a kid fly fishing the Cedar River. The neighbors are very friendly and welcoming and it's a neighborhood where people still walk around and visit the local park a block away. If you're up for a walk or a short drive there are a ton of great local businesses, fantastic restaurants and bars including a Brewery, antique shops, and parks. There are also major grocers in the area as well. What many may not know is Renton's rich history in the world from Boeing to Pacific Car and Foundry or Paccar as its now called, and all can be seen at the Renton History Museum, across from the Renton public Library that bridges the Cedar River. During August we are visited by the Blue Angels for Seafair, and in fall you can watch the annual Sockeye Salmon migration up the Cedar from the brick walk paths. This area has so much to offer you may not even make it to Seattle.
GETTING AROUND
The home is one block from a public bus stop heading toward downtown, or you can walk down into Renton to the Transit center and quickly transfer to the Light Rail trains. Public Transportation information will be in the house for your use. Uber is also an option and runs from $12-30 to down town Seattle and adjacent areas depending on time of day. There are also local and airport rental car services in the area as well.
