By this point, I think it's pretty clear why arts and culture matter to Reton, and we've had some pretty exceptional examples right here in our community this past year. Uh, look at what's happening at Legacy Square. Concerts, movies, and community events have brought people downtown, filled the square with energy, and created a new place for people to gather. They're spending time downtown supporting businesses and experiencing Reton in a different way. We've seen the continued growth at annual events like the Dragons Landing, bringing the community together to celebrate something uniquely Renton while encouraging people to explore again, engage with lo …
