Traditional NW Contemporary Renton Highlands

What’s Nearby

Up on the east side of Renton, you're a few minutes from the lake, the freeways, and a surprising amount to do. Here's what's close.

The Landing is the open-air shopping center down the hill toward Lake Washington — 50-plus stores, a movie theater, and enough restaurants to cover a weeknight when nobody feels like cooking. It's the north end's one-stop.

For dinner, Red House is the standby in Old Renton — New American plates and craft cocktails inside a converted historic boarding house, each room with just a few tables. Tuesday is trivia night, and well-behaved dogs are welcome on the patio.

Gene Coulon Memorial Beach Park is the 57-acre stretch along the south shore of Lake Washington — swimming beach, boat launch, picnic shelters, and a waterfront trail. One local heads-up: it's a no-dogs park, so this one's a leave-the-pup-home outing.

For coffee, Candor Coffee pulls shots with Olympia Coffee beans and bakes its own pastries — crepes and waffles too, plus an in-store boutique stocking local makers. The kind of place you settle into rather than grab-and-go.

And when you want a plan, Topgolf sits over on Logan Avenue — Washington's first, with climate-controlled hitting bays, HDTVs, and a full sports bar. A solid rainy-night or out-of-town-guest move.

And the outdoor perk — Tiger Mountain is the trail network east toward Issaquah, part of the so-called Issaquah Alps. The Tiger Mountain Trail runs 15-plus miles for the ambitious; shorter loops cover the rest. Bring a Discover Pass — the trailheads are day-use only.
