A Place to Call Home -
Although Renton has a reputation as a sleepy bedroom suburb of the
metroplex, the discerning visitor should not write it off. Renton offers
both a pleasant environment, combining natural beauty with modern
architecture and communities, and wonderful retail opportunities, with
shopping centers, specialty boutiques, and high-end stores. It features a
spur of green hills and ridges, including Cougar Mountain and Tiger
Mountain, along with a chain of small mountain lakes.
JackPoint Comment
- The bedroom communities of Renton are among the most conservative
parts of the metroplex, alongside Fort Lewis and some of Snohomish.
This district is the heart of Governor Brackhaven’s social support
(as opposed to his support from business, centered in Downtown and
Everett). Humanis types may not be wearing white hoods and whipping
up torch-wielding mobs (at least, not much anymore), but that
doesn’t mean they’re gone. Instead, they’ve traded white sheets for
business suits and lynch mobs for comprehensive mailing lists, public
referenda, and social networks. If anything, that makes them more
dangerous than ever. Personally, I feel safer on the streets of
Redmond late at night; at least there, you know where you stand.
