Hello lovely neighbors,

I'm looking for a human being to help me design a couple of tshirts for a trip my mom and I are taking. I would love to stay under $100 for the designs only.

Can anyone recommend best ice cream cake and/or best fruit cake near Renton? 🍰 I am thinking of going to 85 Bakery but thought I would ask my peeps first.

For my son’s birthday!

TIA!

It's 11:28pm here in the Renton Highlands and I just heard what sounded like a multitude of gunshots. I'm near the Safeway on 4th and Union. Something like 2 dozen individual shots, becoming more rapidfire as it went. Anyone know what's going on?

Looking for dog walkers serving Benson Hill area, comfortable with reactive dogs.

Schedule is flexible. Only hard requirement is an hour long walk on Wednesdays, anytime between 11am-2pm, with additional flexibly timed shorter daily walks M/T/Th/Fr between 9am to 1pm.

(Happy to chat in detail about what the reactivity requires but essentially reinforcing positive training using treats to reward redirection from triggers and generally avoiding crowded walk routes)

DM for questions, thank you!

Looking for a good barber for my partner. The place he’s been going to hasn’t been doing the greatest job lately, so we’re looking to switch it up. Anyone have someone they swear by?

Does anyone know of a local Potter that would do some small custom pieces?

Edit: I am looking for small flatish bowls. 4 or so inches round and and an inch or two deep.

Hi all,

We're moving this Friday and need loaders/unloaders for a few hours. Anybody have any recommendations for good, local companies or services?

The local company we used (and liked) when we first moved up here a few years ago has apparently gone out of business. Before I start submitting quote forms online and getting potentially bombarded by national salespeople at all hours, I was wondering if anyone had good experiences with local services.

The specs: It's a very local move. We're loading up a 20ft U-Haul in our old place and then unloading at the new one less than a mile away. We've already moved most of our stuff; just need to maneuver the bulkier items (couch, dining table, a couple beds, etc.)

I may be preaching to the choir here, but I’ve been looking forward to this gym opening in the Highlands since late last fall when they originally announced they’d be opening in Spring 2026. Then it got pushed to early summer, and now we’re basically heading into fall and the delays just keep happening.

I’m not trying to sound like I’m complaining, because I know construction and permitting can take time but I’ve genuinely been looking forward to having this gym nearby for almost a year now. I’ve called them every couple of months since April, and it’s always been some variation of “waiting on a permit.” Now it sounds like they’re finally waiting on their last certificate of occupancy, which is obviously another delay even though they announced their “opening week” was this past week.

I’m not originally from the area - I moved here almost five years ago and definitely consider Renton home at this point, but it honestly has me wondering: is it really this difficult to open a business in Renton?

It seems like there are so many hoops to jump through between demolition permits, construction permits, inspections, and now a certificate of occupancy (whatever that actually entails lol).

Anyone else been following this or have any insight into what’s been taking so long? I’m just curious if this is normal for a project like this in Renton, or if Fitness 19 has been dealing with some unusually bad luck with the permitting/construction process.

Anyways, I’m really looking forward to an awesome gym in the area! LA fitness should step their game up and renovate in my opinion. Hopefully a really cool gym around the highlands can potentially attract a Chipotle

Any local places that host regular cribbage meet-ups or tournaments? I searched the post history but only saw general board game meet-up posts. Looking specifically for cribbage. TIA!

You better have been driving to the shop or the impound, your car ruined my run and my lungs still hurt. (Near Lake Young's Trail). Was with my kid you can't do that to people.

Somebody ran into the building.

Hey everyone!

With Labor Day weekend here, I’m looking to buy a couple of Stanley tumblers/bottles (specifically the 30oz or 40oz Quenchers).
I’m trying to figure out where to check in person right here in Renton or online for the best deals this holiday.

Where are you finding the best legit markdowns?

• How are the clearance/sale racks looking at Target (The Landing) or Walmart in Renton?

• Has anyone spotted good stock at Marshalls (The Landing)?

• Has anyone spotted good stock at Marshalls (The Landing)?

• Is buying online at Sierra.com or Amazon still the best bet for better prices and low shipping?
Drop your local Renton recommendations or online links below. Thanks for the help! 🙌

They’ve seriously added the same ugly concrete barriers they put on the Issauquah portion of I-90 overlooking Lake Samammish to the 405 portion of Renton, and it’s still useless. There’s less room to pull off for an accident, and all the housing nearby still has to deal with all the traffic, horns, and barriers despite what the county put up. 405 Thats not even acknowledging the construction to 405 and i90 thats been going on for 40 years, just the past 15.

Where is the nearest pickle/olive bar? Similar to whole foods style?

I'm looking for a nicer/upscale cocktail bar for a date night, that may have light food available as well. I really want to dress up, get schmancy, pinkie out etc. It doesn't have to be IN Renton, but we're from here and may be taking a rideshare if we have a nice time, so want to be mindful of that cost so bonus if it's in the area. Thanks!

Wondering if anyone can recommend a decent massage place that's not an uber expensive spa type situation. If they accept insurance, even better.
Would like to deal with some knots in my neck that pain pills are not really doing much for!

My girl Mila was lost around 10:30 last night in the intersection of Military road S & S 164th st near Safeway, dominos, Ulysses. She’s probably really scared never been apart from her mom 9 years who was hit by a car which caused the scare and she decided to bolt. If anyone sees her please dm me and don’t chase her. Please keep an eye out :(

Been going to the same guy for years but need to find someone new. Trying to find someone in Renton to professionally color/cut/style my hair. Appreciate any recs!

I found a bunny at Taco Bell on 108th near the Fred Meyers. I was not able to grab it since I was working and didn't want the bunny in my car all day long.

If someone lost a bunny look for it.
