Well, a lot has happened in the last few months. The Renton City Council voted to place annexation of Fairwood into Renton on the ballot in November of 2010. You probably remember reading previously about how there were two different pending annexation proposals in the Fairwood area: Red Mill (a petition method annexation), and the Greater Fairwood Communities Annexation (which would require a public vote). Rather than proceed with two separate annexations, the City Council decided to go with one. It covers all of Fairwood, and it will only happen if a majority votes to annex at the polls.
Renton also recently voted to join the King County Library System. A big concern many people had with annexation into Renton was that they were not part of KCLS -- they operated their own libraries. That's no longer the case. So if we annex into Renton, we'll continue to be a part of KCLS.
Finally, there is a public meeting being held by the King County Boundary Review Board in two weeks regarding the proposed annexation of Fairwood. Go to the following site for details:
Make sure to show up and support annexation!
