HomeMy WebLinkAbout60_Mayors Newsletter_120717Local legislators briefed on Family First Center
DOUG BALDWIN AND I, along with members of my staff,
had the opportunity to brief our local state legislators
Tuesday morning on the Family First Community Center, a
project that will provide vital services to kids and families
in the Cascade/Benson community.
This center is possible thanks to the Renton City Council,
Renton School District, First Financial Northwest
Foundation, Doug Baldwin, King County Council
members Reagan Dunn and Dave Upthegrove, and Ken
and Nick Phillips, owners of Car Pros of Renton. Our state
representatives expressed support and assistance as we
move closer to make this community project a reality.
We are more than half way to raising $15 million for this
community center and we will be announcing two other
major donors in a couple weeks, including the owners of
another local company!
It’s heartwarming to see how this partnership between
government, schools and the private sector can come
together to make a difference in the lives of many local
residents. Stay tuned for more news in a couple weeks!

City Hall trees turn blue, honors police
THE TREES OUTSIDE City Hall
are strung with blue lights
this month for Project Blue
Light, which supports law
enforcement.
In Renton we’re fortunate to
have a police department
that not only “protects and
serves” but is deeply involved
in our community. Their
efforts include working closely
with community groups,
sponsoring teen youth summits, attending community events, and hosting “Coffee with a Cop.”
All are designed to help break down barriers and build strong relationships with our residents and
our officers.
Expecting a package? Renton PD has advice
RENTON RESIDENTS ARE NOT immune to
the rash of porch package thieves we see
this time of year.
To help keep your family from becoming
a victim, and to ensure a happy holiday
season, the Renton Police Department has
produced a video with suggestions on
protecting your deliveries.
If your holiday shopping includes making an
on-line transaction that involves a face-to-face meeting, the video explains the option of using the
Safe Exchange Zone at City Hall.
