June 6th. Questions may be directed to Solid Waste Senior Program Specialist Jina

The Renton History Museum has received an award from the Association of King
County Heritage Organizations (AKCHO), along with a team of four University of
Washington Museology graduate students, for the exhibit ‘A History of Renton in 75
Objects.’ The award honors collaborations between students and museums that
result in projects that benefit the King County Community. ‘A History of Renton in
75 Objects’ was curated and installed by the UW Museology students who used
unique artifacts and photos from the Museum's collection to help the visitor
visualize Renton's history.
