An inclusive and accessibleenvironmentthat

Communities across the world are looking for ways to accommodate the growing population of
older adults. Due to longer lifespans and decreasing birth rates, older adults make up a larger
percentage of the population than ever before.
In Renton, seniors over the age of 65 will make up an estimated 20% of the population by 2030. It
is the city's goal to provide a community where its senior population will remain active,
independent and vibrant members of their community.
