• Come join the Renton Police Department at the Renton Farmers Market on Tuesday,
August 3 from 3 to 7 p.m. to celebrate National Night Out! National Night Out is a
night that citizens across America can send a powerful message about neighborhood
unity, awareness, safety, and police-community partnerships. It is especially
important to support and show our community we are united and dedicated to
building a safer and more caring America.
We will not be registering individual neighborhoods this year, but we would love for
you to come visit our booth at the market, where you can give the game wheel a
spin for fun prizes, participate in an art activity, or even better, come join Renton PD
personnel in conversation about topics that you are curious or concerned about.
In partnership with Communities and Schools, we are also conducting a shoe drive
to benefit local students. We are asking community members to bring along a new
pair of shoes to our booth during this event. These donations will be distributed to
youth during Communities in Schools’ Back to School Event in August.
We are excited to start engaging with you in person again and cannot wait to see
you on August 3!
