r/Renton

Me and my wife are considering moving to Renton. Currently renting in Seattle, we want to purchase our first home as we plan on starting a family. So far, Fairwood neighborhood attracts us given our budget.

We are of Indian (asian) origin ourselves. We want to ensure us and our future kids have some social life with the Indian community wherever we plan to settle. Looking forward to inputs on whether Renton and Fairwoods particularly is a good place for this OR if you have other recommendations.

I built this because GreatSchools gives ratings but no real comparison. I wanted to see how my neighborhood schools stack up against others in the same district across scores, growth, attendance, discipline, demographics and more!

Hello,

I was fortunate to get Thursday and Friday off this week and I planned on spending a majority of the long weekend reading. Unfortunately, my HOA had other plans to redo my roof, so it is impossible to concentrate even with earbuds in.

Looking for somewhere nice and comfortable to read a book. I tried Boon Boona Coffee, but it was not very comfortable, and was $6 pretip for a cup of tea...

Thanks for any ideas!

So I live along Petrovitsky.
Somewhere around the Stonebrook Apartments give or take I hear a loud boom every evening around 6-7pm almost every night now.

Anyone know what's going on or who's playing war? I get that the fourth is close.. but dang.

Hello, I'm new to the Highlands area and was wondering if any locals know of some nice quiet parks around here?

Hi everyone,

Does anyone here have any recommendations for a good private piano teacher. I’m specifically looking for someone who teaches independently rather than through a music store.

Thank you!

Hi, I just recently moved over here from Eastern Washington. After the move my little 2015 Honda Fit started to make a squealing noise when accelerating. I'm looking for suggestions for a fair, quality mechanic to hopefully diagnose and fix the noise. Thank you in advance!

Are there any dog friendly sports bar I can go with my dog for the match tomorrow?

Hey all,

Long story short, I'm getting married on 7/7 and my suit has been taking far longer to ship than anticipated, and the tailor I've communicated with won't be able to work with me after all if the suit does arrive 7/1 as it is now scheduled to.

The good news is that I tried on the display model of the suit, and I know that I'll only need the pant legs hemmed. There are no other essential alterations. Does anyone have a recommendation for a tailor I could call who might be able to take a rush order for hemming?

Thanks!

Hi we lost a plush maybe in the parking lot at Fred Meyer that is near the Shane’s card shop place.. i don’t really have any hope of this picking up any traction but if anyone has seen a little riolu plush please let me know he’s really special to me, thank you in advance

It would mean a lot if under the "Real Estate" category, if folks could throw a vote for 95 Burnett Apartment Homes, in downtown Renton.
