THE RENTON JUNCTION BLOG
A place for us to have an open and honest conversation about what's going on around town.As we all eagerly prepare to get back to our normal routine it’s understandable that things will not just get turned back on like a light. There’s going to be a continued period of uncertainty. Our hope is that we can collectively wade through the dark together. For the first time in a long time, many people are opening their eyes to a broader sense of community. This will be a guide for us to grow into the new normal. The Renton Junction is one way the Chamber is helping to bring it all together.
