Last week our city clerk sent the latest guidance about Appearance of Fairness in Washington State
I’m publishing this journal entry to support my next one regarding the Shoreline Master Program. As public officials in Renton we have been trained repeatedly on Appearance of Fairness, Open Public Meetings Act, Public Record Retention, the importance of getting public input, and general transparency in decision making.
This email below, which we received just last week from our city clerk, is very typical of the kinds of information we share regularly to ensure open, honest, and fair decision-making as we conduct the people’s business.
For anyone not familiar with Washington’s Appearance of Fairness doctrine, I recommend you read this and help hold your council and your other public officials accountable.

Back from a long council break and a nice vacation
A recent photo I took of our granddaughter Carolyn at Disneyland. Co-grandparents, Bob and Donna Jones, are in the background
Sorry for the long delay in posting– I just enjoyed the longest council break I’ve had in 18 years, and given the stunningly beautiful weather we were having I took full advantage of it. I even managed to get my family down to Southern California on an extended trip which included visits to Disneyland and Hollywood. All five of my kids made the trip with us, along with our son-in-law, daughter-in-law, granddaughter Carolyn, and our son-in-law’s entire family (parents and siblings), and several close friends– 17 people in total.
Here are a few photos:
