Renton City Hall is located in a seven-story building on South Grady Way and houses a multitude of city services including the Executive Department, the City Attorney, Community and Economic Development, Community Services, Finance and Information Technology, Fire and Emergency Services, Human Resources and Risk Management, Police Department and Public Works Department. Renton incorporated on September 6, 1901. In its early days, Renton's economy thrived on coal mining. Boeing took over as the economic driver in 1941 after the airplane manufacturer ramped up the production of B-29s for the war effort.
This facility is made up of four buildings, including the Regional Jail Facility, the Iron Building (which houses the Work Release and Electronic Incarceration Program), the Modular Building and The Central Facility building, which opened in 2008. The ADC is currently managed by Superintendent Colonel Pete Meletis.
Head down Highland Ave. and you can't miss City Hall, which sits atop Central Hill next to Somerville High School. Built in 1851 as the city's first high school, the building has housed city government since 1871. Today, the majority of City offices are still at City Hall. But in a city of over 74,000, one building can't hold them all. So another dozen City offices occupy City Hall Annex on Evergreen St., a handful are at the Department of Public Works building on Franey Road, and a few are at other locations in the city.
Offices located at City Hall include:
- Mayor's Office
- City Clerk
- Election Department
- Assessor's Office
- Treasurer/Collector's Office
- Auditing Division
- Constituent Services
- Mayor's Office of Strategic Planning and Community Development (OSPCD)
- Parks and Open Space
- Planning and Zoning Division
- Transportation and Infrastructure Division
- Communications Office
- Somerstat
- Information Technology Department
- City Solicitor's Office/The Law Office
- Personnel Office
- Purchasing Office
