Renton’s Cedar River Trail won the “Seattle Weekly’s Best of 2010 Award” for being the best alternative to the Burke Gilman Trail. Hats off to our Renton Parks and Recreation staff (and the other departments who support them) for their excellent work on this trail.

Flags across Washington at half staff to honor fallen Navy Petty Officer Jarod Newlove from Renton
Our hearts are with Petty Officer Newlove’s friends, family, and fellow service men and women. Received today from the Governor’s office:
Subject: August 5 Flag Lowering
Governor Chris Gregoire has directed that Washington State and United States flags at all state agency facilities be lowered to half-staff Thursday, August 5, 2010, in memory of U. S. Navy Petty Officer 3rd Class Jarod Newlove, 25, of Renton, who died from wounds sustained from an incident in Logar Province, Afghanistan, on July 23.
Flags should remain at half-staff until close of business Thursday (especially for those agencies on furlough on Friday), or first thing Friday morning, August 6.
Other government entities, citizens and businesses are encouraged to join this recognition.
