Today's riddle: What did the tractor say to the plow? 🤔 (Answer below!)
• City council to vote on camping ban (rentonreporter.com) — Renton residents face a major decision Monday as the City Council takes its final vote on a sweeping camping and trespass ordinance that would restrict camping and property storage on city property. The proposal ties into Renton's broader homelessness strategy modeled on Auburn's outreach-focused approach, and the public meeting will be held at City Hall on Sept. 14 at 7 p.m.
• Crash blocks southbound SR 167 in Renton (kiro7.com) — A serious early-morning crash has shut down southbound SR 167 near Southwest 43rd Street in Renton, forcing all traffic to exit at Southwest 41st Street. Emergency crews are on scene with no estimated reopening time, so Renton-area drivers should expect significant delays and use alternate routes while officials investigate and clear the collision.
• How state school's chief $2 billion ask could fill local gaps (rentonreporter.com) — Renton families should know the Renton School District has identified a $5 million shortfall between state funding and its actual costs for classroom supplies, utilities, and operations. State schools chief Chris Reykdal is asking lawmakers for an extra $2 billion statewide in the next budget, which could help close gaps in Renton, Kent, and Federal Way if approved.
