Food scene

This is the closest grocery store to the house, it is also surrounded by a variety of stores including O'reily's auto parts, some fast and not so fast food restaurants, a bank, and a gas station. If you plan to hit other destinations or day trips during your stay this is a great place to stock up.

I will warn you, when I ate pizza here, I have never been satisfied with anything since. Located in a historic building in southeast Seattle, across the street from Lake Washington on the corner of Rainier Ave S. The name of the pizzeria, Pulcinella (pul chee'nel la) is a character from the 17th century Italian Commedia dell'Arte that is widely recognized as the symbol of Naples. ~The Story of Pizzeria Pulcinella~ Our passion is Neapolitan Pizza Tender dough prepared with soft wheat from southern Italy Perfectly balanced Italian tomatoes Luscious, fresh mozzarella Fresh basil and extra virgin olive Baked expertly in 70 - 90 seconds in our Valoriani (Italian, of course) wood fired oven From this extraordinary but simple recipe the Pizza Margherita is created and forms the culinary palette which our expert pizzaioli create an almost endless variety of pizzas. Pulcinella has been "certified Neapolitan" by the Verace Pizza Napolitana Association since 2009.~ Ok now after Reading that, try to not go there.

There are not many small cities that can boast a great steak house and yet, here you are. Established in 1901 The building in which the Melrose Grill resides was established in 1901 and has served as a tavern since the days of the horse and buggy. It also operated as a pool hall, soda shop and card room during prohibition. The current owners have honored the building’s historic roots keeping the recently restored, original mirror-backed bar with its rich, dark woods. The walls showcase vintage photos that highlight the transitions this grand building has gone through. With wainscoting on the walls, low-slung lamps and high ceilings the space feels as open as the West was, when the Melrose Building was built. Heres a little history lesson 1901 Englishman Ben Atkinson built a three-story hotel, café and saloon with the money he made in the gold fields of the Alaskan Yukon. The 60-room hotel was upstairs with the café and saloon located on the bottom floor. The saloon was the watering hole of many coal miners and brick factory workers. 1918 Prohibition did not diminish the popularity of the Melrose. It flourished as a pool hall, card room and soda parlor. 1928 Fire leveled the top two floors and a portion of the bottom level of the Melrose. Fortunately, the saloon remained intact including the mirrored back bar which remains today in the Melrose. 1939 Robert Dobson purchased the bar from Ben’s son, George Atkinson. 1946 Jimy Nattucici and Tim Bertozzi purchased and operated the tavern. 1972 Nattucici sold the Melrose to famed local boxer Boone Kirkman. Boone added a sparring ring as well as his practice bag to the décor of the tavern. The Melrose overflowed when Boone’s fights were televised. 1997 Armondo Pavone, Tim and Kimberly Searing, and Charles and Beverly Keeslar, purchased the building from Louie Barei. 2002 The Melrose Grill opened on January 13, 2002. One of the first Renton Restaurants is reborn! 2008 Armondo and Angela Pavone partner with original Grill Chef Franco Phillips

Sightseeing

Coulon is a great place to stop and take a walk, swim, put a boat in the water, fish, and there are also two local favorite restaurants right in the park on the water so you won't even have to pack a lunch. All of the walkways are either boardwalk or paved. There is a playground for children, and a swimming area in the summers. you have a great view of the North end of the Boeing 737 plant and the end of the assembly line when the new unpainted planes move to the test area and runway. There are also well maintained tennis courts and public restrooms, and even covered picnic gazebos.

Another great walking area, this paved walk area has picnic tables, stationary barbecues, playgrounds, and all of it follows the cedar river all the way to where it empties into Lake Washington. It is nestled between the Boeing Plant, and the Renton Municipal airport where EVERY new 737 starts its life. It is a GREAT area for fly fishing, with a uniqueness one can only find right here, I have had numerous fish hooked right as a brand new airplane wing rolls past on the the plane bridge towards the runway. You don't find an area that has a balance of nature and concrete jungle like here.

Not many people know how rich the history of Renton is. From being one of the largest brick producers and railcar producers in the united states, to being one of the main production cities that helped win World War 2 with Boeing's B29 Bombers and Pacific Car and Foundry's Sherman tanks. Renton has a huge part in the history of our country, and a rich history of its own. All of the information you could want on the area can be found in the Renton History Museum. You be surprised that you've never heard of it.

Walking, biking and rollerblading

Great place for biking and walks! The Green River Trail is a 19.6-mile (31.5 km) pedestrian and bicycle trail in King County, Washington, USA. It runs along the banks of the Duwamish and Green Rivers, crossing the river several times on bridges. The trail goes through a variety of landscapes, ranging from industrial to rural. Bicycles on the Green River Trail along the Desimone Levee in Kent. The north end of the trail is near the turning basin of the Duwamish Waterway, near the south Seattle city limits. Heading upriver, the trail goes by Cecil Moses Park. It intersects the northern end of the Interurban Trail near Fort Dent Park in Tukwila, enters Kent near Briscoe Park (sometimes written as Brisco Park), and passes alongside the Green River Natural Resources Area and through the Riverbend Golf Complex, then meets the Interurban Trail again at Kent's Foster Park. Plans would extend the trail south through Auburn, Washington to Flaming Geyser State Park at the Green River Gorge.
