Summer has come to an end; and with the changing of the season, we close another chapter of outdoor events that have come to define summers in the Pacific Northwest.Nonetheless, when one door closes, another opens and with that, we are given an opportunity to enjoy the vast array of Autumn activities that are also unique to our region.
If you are looking for things to do in Renton and the surrounding area, I have updated my Local Community Events Calendar found online at:http://www.davidjedwards.com/events-calendar.asp
There are literally hundreds of pacific northwest events on the calendar. Some of the most recent additions are listed below.
