Historical fact: In 1876, Renton was platted and named for Captain William Renton. Capt. Renton, a wealthy businessman, was also one of the founders of the first sawmill. Along with his partner William Talbot, Renton was responsible for the construction of the first railroad used in the territory.
— Seattle Times news researcher Miyoko Wolf Trudy Shafar, 89, has seen a lot of change over the years on Talbot Hill in southeast Renton. "I wish you could have seen it when you had all the bean farms, and all the beautiful rows. Now everything is cement," says Shafar. "I used to pick strawberries, beans and cucumbers." And she can still pick raspberries from the bushes in the big back yard of the Talbot Hill home she has lived in for about 60 years. In Talbot Hill, the past and the present live together, with modern suburban developments and modest homes more than 100 years old. The neighborhood rises above Interstate 405 and Highway 167 and many residents enjoy views of the valley below and sunsets in the distance. With its deep roots and strong sense of community, Talbot Hill has staying power. When Kelly Lie and her family decided to move to the Seattle area from the Midwest four years ago, they looked at many suburban neighborhoods here, eventually settling on Talbot Hill. The convenience of the location was a major selling point. "I love being able to jump onto 405 or 167. My husband travels and the proximity to Sea-Tac is great. We can be there in 12 minutes. Time in traffic is not cutting into our family time," says Lie.
