Thousands flocked to Renton’s Fourth of July celebration at Gene Coulon Park Wednesday.

For West Seattle’s Estela Cayetenno, it was her first time to Coulon for the Fourth.

“My whole Bible study group came and we’re hoping to have a lot of fun,” Cayetenno said.

She was one of many cooking lunch on a barbecue around the park. Others enjoyed a game of catch or volleyball, while others just laid back and enjoyed a rare sunny day.

The weather was warm enough for kids to play in the lake, although there were quite a few options for them including a bouncy house, obstacle course and slide. Plus there was face painting from the Lindbergh High School cheerleaders.

The Renton City Concert Band, Guys & Dolls, Erwilian, The Stacy Jones Band and Oncore all entertained patrons, starting at 1:30 p.m.

Fireworks were scheduled for 10 p.m.
