Renton to hand out sand, sandbags

With flood season officially here, the City of Renton will make complimentary sand and sandbags available to Renton businesses and residents while supplies last.

Verification of a Renton address can be provided with a driver’s license for residents, or a business card for business owners.

The city will have a number of lanes open to help speed up the the process.

There will be a 100-bag limit per visit; however, multiple visits will be allowed for those needing additional bags. Bring shovels to fill own bags.

The sand and bags are at Fire Station 14, 1900 Lind Ave. S.W.
