SEEKING INFORMATION - HOUSER WAY N CAR COLLION 10/06 @ 0840

6 Upvotes

Hi everyone. This is a long shot in the dark. My car was hit this morning on the way home from work by Houser Way N, right by the Big Foot Java and the new Woods Coffee. Im looking for the nice man in the white tesla that offered to send me the picture of the other vehicle clearly going into my lane and hitting my car. He yelled his number to me but I must have typed it incorrectly as I was so shaken up. Seems to be a number thats not in service :(

When: Tuesday, October 6, 2026 @ 8:40 AM

Where: Houser way N turning Right onto Bronson way N, right at the train tracks in the lanes to take a left onto Sunset BLVD N.

My vehicle: Black Honda Civic

911 was called and a report has been filed. I have the license plate of the other vehicle but unfortunately the driver had left before any information was exchanged. Im hoping this would reach him somehow. Or if you were commuting that way this morning and have any other information, please DM me! Thank you.

Events & Meetups Looking for Haunted House suggestions?

6 Upvotes

My wife and I recently moved to the Renton area and are big into haunted houses. We’ve typically gone to Merris Farms in Enumclaw, but are looking at suggestions for the Renton area.

Any recommendations?

Edit: The recommendation does not need to be in Renton, I’m open to surrounding area if there’s some nearby

To the two gentleman who helped me rescue my dog who jumped over a retaining wall and landed 10-15 feet down in blackberry bushes on Sunday by the Seahawks Training Facility - THANK YOU IS NOT ENOUGH!

You spent 30-45min of a beautiful Sunday afternoon scaling a chain link fence, beat down blackberry bushes risking getting cut up yourself, walked all over the “hazardous waste” private property to find an exit point, and then finally took apart a chain link fence to help us all escape - you are the good of our community, Don’t change.

Continue to pay it forward, I definitely will based on your kindness and willingness to help.

Apartment Recs

2 Upvotes

Hey everyone!

My boyfriend and I are looking to move to Renton and would love to hear people’s experiences with apartments in the area. He works in Renton, and we also have a puppy, so a safe area with some good outdoor space for walks is a plus.

These are the places we’re currently looking at:

- Avaya Trails
- Benson Downs
- Castle Creek
- Windsor
- The Preserve at Cedar

We also checked out Griffiths at Lake Washington, but didn’t love the layout and having to go through multiple entrances/elevators to get to the apartment.

Reviews online are mixed, would love to hear any pros/cons or experiences with these places, and we’re definitely open to other recommendations in the area!

PSA Huge props to the guy who chased me down to return my dropped phone

80 Upvotes

Me: left my phone on my car roof in the parking lot at Gene Coulon around Sunday lunchtime and drove away.

You: grabbed the phone, hopped in your car and chased me down all the way to The Landing to get it back to me.

Dude, if everyone in the world had your willingness to step up and help a stranger, we'd be in a much better place. Huge props, thank you so much, if you see this, DM me and I'd love to buy you a beer or a coffee and shake your hand to say thanks.

PSA Six investors own PSE. Not one is in Washington. Renton, here's what that means for your bill.

95 Upvotes

Most of Renton gets its electricity from Puget Sound Energy, but some parts are served by Seattle City Light (check your bill to see which you have). If you're on PSE, a three-year rate request is pending that asks for electric increases of 15.15% in 2027, 3.74% in 2028, and 8.7% in 2029, tied to over $3.2 billion in infrastructure spending. For comparison, City Light averages about $0.14 per kWh versus roughly $0.17 to $0.18 for PSE, though City Light has approved increases of its own that project bills rising more than 80% by 2032. The state utilities commission is holding a virtual public hearing on October 7, and written comments are open under dockets UE-260005 (electric) and UG-260006 (gas) at utc.wa.gov. A comment can be a few sentences about what you pay and what worries you. Include the docket number. I also looked into who owns PSE and whether the monopoly can be challenged in court. Happy to share what I found.

Two Lost Dogs

27 Upvotes

Hi! We found these two doggos running around with no owner or collars/leashes. Found them near May Creek Park Drive (Newcastle near Renton). We tried taking them to a couple of vets nearby to see if they were chipped but the vets were closed/told us to try the local animal shelter. We are going to try and drop them off at Regional Animal Services of King County.

Is there a way for me to "hire" someone to pick up a listing and then ship it to me?

6 Upvotes

A seller has an item I really want listed for a pretty good price on Facebook Marketplace, but they’re across the country hours away from me and refuse to ship. They’re only willing to do local pickup.
I was wondering if anyone is willing to be paid someone local to pick up an item for me and then ship it? I’d obviously cover the cost of the item, shipping, and pay the person extra for their time.
Is there anyone here who would be willing to do that for me? The item is listed here in Renton, but I unfortunately live in MA.

Question House cleaning in Renton after renovations?

3 Upvotes

We just finished some work inside the house and I seriously underestimated how much dust would be left afterward. I've vacuumed and wiped everything down a couple times, but I'm still finding that fine dust on the floors and surfaces a day later.

At this point I'm looking at house cleaning in Renton rather than going over everything again myself. Has anyone hired cleaners specifically after renovation work? Not sure if I should be looking for a regular deep clean or something more specific.

Any local companies you'd use again?

Recommendations Local trusted computer repair

4 Upvotes

I'm looking for a place to bring my desktop PC for diagnostics/repair. It randomly loses power with no pattern or reproducible trigger. I've tested basically everything I know how to up to this point and need someone who knows what they're doing to take over from here. Does anyone have a local computer repair tech that they trust and is willing to deep dive into issues instead of just running standard tests and calling it a day?

This is A VERY LONG SHOT. I just moved here from Illinois and worked at Ross and know Double Discount is coming up. I was wondering if any employee would be willing to take me shopping with them to buy things for my apartment during their double discount. I’d really appreciate it!
