Thousands of residents set up early and then stayed late at Gene Coulon Park July 4 as part of the city’s Fabulous Fourth of July celebration.

With the sun shining down and not a cloud in the sky, shade was at a premium but the clear skies made ofr a spectacular fireworks show.

Check out these pics from the day and send your photos from the Fourth to editor@rentonreporter.com to see them in the paper!
