1. Renton, WA demolition dust, road closures frustrate nearby businesses (newsbreak.com) — North Renton businesses and residents are grappling with heavy demolition dust, surprise road closures, and lost revenue from the teardown of a long-abandoned building between downtown and The Landing. Shop owners say they weren't warned about timelines or mitigation plans and have pressed the City of Renton to pause work until health and property concerns are addressed.
2. Seahawks give injury updates on Leonard Williams, Zach Charbonnet (theolympian.com) — From the Seahawks' Renton headquarters, coach Mike Macdonald says Leonard Williams is likely to play this week despite an ankle injury, but running back Zach Charbonnet still won't return against the 49ers. Charbonnet is progressing in practice, safety Ty Okada may finally debut after a hamstring issue, and the team expects to add veteran Joe Mixon for backfield depth.
3. CDG's Dealership Buy/Sell Tracker (dealershipguy.com) — Renton drivers should know that Canadian group Go Auto has bought the Car Pros Kia Renton and Car Pros Hyundai Renton dealerships, part of a three-store deal in the Seattle-Tacoma area. The stores will reopen under new ownership, signaling continued consolidation in the local auto market but keeping familiar brands and locations in place for shoppers and service customers.
4. Renton Reporter wins three Best Newspaper awards (rentonreporter.com) — Renton readers can celebrate that the Renton Reporter just picked up three statewide journalism awards, including recognition for coverage of Cedar River flooding and local school funding challenges.
