Mayor Denis Law
Renton relaxes under leadership of new mayor
By Dean Radford • June 26, 2008 7:02 pm

Denis Law is certainly not a reluctant mayor.
But he gave deep thought to whether he would leave behind his decades-long career as a successful newspaper publisher to run for mayor of this city of about 80,000 people.
He found that tensions among various stakeholders in the city and on the City Council were preventing the important business of the city from getting done. A change in leadership was needed at the top, he reasoned.
The citizens of Renton agreed and the results are apparent, six months into Law’s first term as mayor.

The Gallagher family of Renton wins the recycling...
June 26, 2008 5:29 pm

After five weeks of sifting through garbage, the challenge is over. The six East Renton Plateau families are done lugging their trash bags to a scale each week. The final numbers have been crunched, and a winner has been determined.
And that winner isn’t the early favorite. Five weeks ago, the name on everyone’s lips was Baiba. But after Thursday’s final weigh-in, that name had become Rebecca. And James, Emma, 8, and Owen, 5. Those, plus dog Sophie, are the members of the Gallagher family. And with an 82-percent garbage reduction over the past five weeks, the Gallaghers are the winners of the Renton Neighborhood Challenge, part of King County’s campaign called “Recycle More. It’s Easy To Do.”
