summarizing the City’s recent progress towards goals and work programs adopted as part of
its business plan for 2018 and beyond. Items noted were:
The Solid Waste Utility is launching the “Bring Your Own Bag (BYOB)” campaign in
efforts to reduce plastic bag use and litter throughout the city. The public is
encouraged to bring reusable bags when shopping and complete an online survey
about plastic bag use. The survey is available at rentonwa.gov/plasticbag through

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.
Preventative street maintenance will continue to impact traffic and result in
occasional street closures.
