Historically, Renton was a blue collar town right over the hill from the main Boeing plant. They had one of thier own where they made a lot of planes. Now it is just another bedroom suburb of Seattle and Bellevue. If you have ever sat on a 737 ... you sat on a little piece of Renton.
Renton is not conservative, but it is certainly not a liberal bastion like some of its neighbors.
