Talk:Renton, Washington

Untitled
I edited the comment on the Ridgewood Ravens, namely because it has the effect of implying that they are either the only school, or the flagship school, which they're just a local elementary school unless my understanding is wrong. I also edited "forced" to "encouraged", as the term forced has somewhat negative connotations. LoL, Maplewood Alumni =D —Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.19.200.179 (talk • contribs)


 * Two things: One, I'm not sure that the Ridgewood mention is even worth inclusion in the article. Two, unless I'm mistaken, Ridgewood is in the Kent School District... - 67.136.5.140 19:59, 1 November 2005 (UTC)

Lakeshore Landing?
Is it officially/really called the Lakeshore Landing? Isn't it just "the Landing"? Visit thelandingrenton.com That should the the official site. Just making sure! Sunset7611 06:09, 9 January 2007 (UTC)

Renton population number
Now, July 1, 2009 is 62,076 people in Renton. Census Estimate 2009 Renton combined East Renton Highlands July 1, 2007 is 14,112 people. Total 76,188 not 82,548 I'm confused. April 1, 2010 Estimate OFM 86,230. Ross Degenstein (talk) --208.107.123.63 (talk) 01:00, 14 July 2010 (UTC)
 * I know this is nearly 5 years old, but to answer your question, according to the King County website Renton never annexed Renton highlands. In the 2010 census the population of Benson Hill (annexed in 2007) was added to the total population, which would account for a large portion of the population increase.

Minor correction
The article incorrectly listed the Federal Aviation Administration's offices as a new tenant. I've hopefully clarified the issue and cited what I hope is evidence enough.Murasaki66 (talk) 00:33, 30 January 2013 (UTC)

Coordinate error
The following coordinate fixes are needed for

 * You haven't said what is wrong with the coordinates that are currently in the article, which appear to be correct. If you think that the coordinates are erroneous, please post a clear explanation of the error below, including the geodata-check template, and someone will be along to deal with the matter.

Moving text from History to Economy
Should part of the History section be moved to the Economy section? Specifically the portion about history of Paccar.Swingcar (talk) 20:43, 15 May 2015 (UTC)
 * I moved it. WolverineOfTheCascades (talk) 23:31, 20 September 2015 (UTC)

Notability of Henry Moses
What makes Henry Moses not notable? Jjjjjjdddddd (talk) 16:09, 17 May 2018 (UTC)
 * That's a pretty ambiguous question, can you be more specific, like a diff or maybe a clue as to which of the hundred's of thousands of Henry Moses's in the world you are talking about? John from Idegon (talk) 16:58, 17 May 2018 (UTC)
 * A better question: would a standalone article about Henry Moses meet WP:BIO criteria? OhNo itsJamie Talk 17:48, 17 May 2018 (UTC)
 * Yes, if you count book sources. I'm talking about the Henry Moses who was related to Chief Sealth. Jjjjjjdddddd (talk) 07:51, 19 May 2018 (UTC)
 * Confirmed sources:

 * , then WP:WTAF. Generally, unless a redlink name would make notability on a WP:SNG such that both notability and attendance can be unambiguously shown with just one or two references (eg, an state or higher elected official or a Medal of Honor winner), we don't include them without an article.

Montage
I propose updating the infobox image to a montage like shown below:

 * The tubing photo is a bit redundant, since we already show the river in the library photo. Perhaps an aerial photo of the Boeing plant would be better (perhaps as the lead photo).  Sounder Bruce  22:47, 4 March 2020 (UTC)

This is the best image I can find. Renton and the Boeing plant is seen on the right shore of the lake. Also I think the city hall is more fitting as the lead image. --Ikon21 (talk) 08:39, 5 March 2020 (UTC)
