North Renton residents press council on Logan 6 parking and appeals process
Summary
At the Renton City Council public comment period, neighbors of the Logan 6 development complained the city has not honored prior promises to the neighborhood, raised parking and access concerns, and said the council removed an avenue for appeal earlier this year.
Sharon Bosted, a 40-year resident of the 300 block of Burnett Avenue North, told the council residents have repeatedly sought protections for their neighborhood related to the Logan 6 development and said officials have not honored those requests.
"You have chosen not to honor that. I'm very disappointed," Bosted said, describing petitions, emails, letters, a legal fund, yard signs and eight weeks of picketing at Third and Logan. She urged residents to use their vote to support council candidates who "respect and will not ignore neighborhood concerns."
Matt Hamby, who also spoke during public comment, described a long-running dispute over parking and access tied to Logan 6. Hamby said the community has pressed the city for 420 days on parking, contended the council removed an appeal procedure on Feb. 10, 2025, and said that after that change the neighborhood experienced additional delays in getting meetings with council.
"The two issues we're still concerned about are the parking. There isn't enough parking on the development…There's no on street parking around the entire block," Hamby said, adding that the lack of curb on one side of Burnett Avenue North will push cars into the surrounding neighborhood. He also urged the council to consider allowing Logan access to serve as the development's entrance and exit to reduce traffic impacts on side streets.
Council members did not debate the matters during the public comment period; the speakers' remarks were directed to the council as a whole. A city staff member at the meeting told Bosted she could leave an email address with the city clerk and expect a response from staff.
Residents asked why a visual aid shown at a previous meeting was not displayed and sought follow-up from staff via the clerk for unanswered questions. The public comments consolidated appeals, neighborhood-organizing activity and continuing requests for council action on parking and access around the Logan 6 site.
