    Event Canceled

    The City of Renton has changed their policy and will no longer be hosting individual sanctioned events as part of Renton River Days.  We contacted Renton Parks and they said that the City of Renton has decided to change their policy for using Coulon Park.  They are moving from a "closed, specific use policy" to an "open space, public-passive use policy".  Therefore, Coulon Park cannot be reserved for a boat show during Renton River Days, or any other time.

The Mineral Schoolhouse does not rent individual rooms. The cost per bedroom is  $52/night total. http://www.mineralschoolhouse.com

    There is a possibility for overnight at Mineral Schollhouse on Tuesday, August 12th, if six members are interested. If you would like the optional extra night please register separately for that event.
