Are you interested in learning about the daily operations of the City of Renton? Have you ever wondered about the different functions of the individual departments and how they work together?

Become a better informed member of the community by being part of the first graduating class of the Renton Academy of City Services (RACS). Ask questions, learn about city functions, tour some of the city facilities, and get the inside scoop on how the City of Renton works for you. A presentation will be given by a staff member from each city department.
