Join us this Saturday, October 25th from 12–3 PM at the Renton Public Library for a special celebration of the Cedar River and Indigenous history! We’ll be unveiling the completed community mural, created in collaboration with UW students and community members.

Earlier this month, we revealed the first panel and walked together along the river for inspiration. Now, come see how those reflections and contributions came to life in the final mural.

Let’s gather in honor of the rivers that shape our landscapes, carry our histories, and connect our communities.
