Renton, WA

Renton is located southeast of Seattle and just south of Bellevue. The city is best known for being the long-time headquarters of the Boeing Company, which still has limited operations here. With a population of 91,000, the city is fairly large but still maintains a smaller town feel in its historic downtown district. New developments like the Renton Landing have brought more modern dining and entertainment options to the area, as well as a larger contingency of new condos available near Lake Washington. Most of Renton is comprised of fairly affordable residential neighborhoods interspersed with small retail districts serving the local residents.
