Lisa Yaskus-McLarenRenton Reporter Multi-Media Sales Consultant

I have been in the Renton area living and working and raising kids since 1982. My life has been in this town and it is awesome to be able to walk into a business and know them because of doing business here.

My children, nephews and granddaughter came through the Renton School District. My experience for 15 years with the newspaper from production and data entry in 2000, of� ce coordination, circulation, has been a great bene� t to my new experience with sales. Having someone say "you look so familiar", and telling them for instance, "hollandaise on the side", that's how they remember me!

I got married last year to Fraser McLaren a fella I've known since we were kids in the Skyway neighborhood in the early 70's. We are consumed by our beloved sports teams, great food, NASCAR and classic � lms like Jaws, We Bought A Zoo and National Treasure to name a few. #GO HAWKS!

Vicky Baxter, CEO

Renton Chamber of Commerce and Visitor Center

Although most of my life has been in California, I have lived in Japan, Canada, Texas and Colorado.

On a trip to Renton, we fell in love with the area and thought this is a great place to live, work and play. In fact, I don’t think any city has a more generous community of people.

The Renton Chamber with a rich 75 year history is working with the business community both large and small; the Chamber is a vital ingredient in the growth that is taking place here. Active business recruitment, job fairs, advocacy, legislative leadership, educational opportunities, events that honor education and business, are just part of the Renton Chamber’s commitment to the city.

My past history gives me the experience to know that Renton is on a fast track to growth. Newcomers along with longtime residents know and what I have discovered; healthcare, education and the quality of life is better here.

this is a great place to live, work and play. In fact, I don’t think any city has a more
