Our beloved Renton Piazza boosters put on a wonderful, bright, and snowy event at the Piazza yesterday.
Santa Clause came down for the kids, bands and carolers provided music, and the crowd was warmed up against the unusually cold night with hot apple cider provided by the volunteer organizers.
Jim Medzegian, the president of the Renton Piazza Team, did a fantastic job coordinating the event, and making it special for all in attendance. I would like to name his many dedicated volunteers, but I don’t want to leave anyone out, so I just wish to say that I really appreciated all their hard work.
I ran into councilwoman Marcie Palmer at the event, who was there with her lovely family, including her professional-photographer husband Gary.
Gary and Marcie provided me with these wonderful pictures from the event!
Thanks Gary!

young tradition
The marker stone at the Piazza (dated 2000) reminds me of how young the place is even though it feels like events at the Piazza are becoming Renton traditions. Of course, I used to detail cars when it was a Mazda dealer 🙂 so I know it wasn’t always this place of beauty.
The Piazza is such a beautiful place. It’s so much fun during the time of the market and Holiday gatherings. Love it.
