Your Top 10 Renton Stories for 2010

Editors and readers typically diverge on what they think were the most important stories of the year. This year, we decided to let the readers have the say, based on the number of hits a story received at rentonreporter.com. As you can see, the list is full of sex, Seahawks and crime, not surprising. My list would have included something about the City of Renton budget crisis, but there’s nothing sexy about that. Here are your Top 10 stories for 2010 and where to read them at rentonreporter.com.
