Renton Muni sits in Renton, Washington, just south of Seattle on the east side of Lake Washington. Field elevation is 32 ft MSL. The airport has one runway, 16/34, which is 5,382 ft long. The tower is open daily. Hours are 0700-2000 from October 1 through April 30. Hours are 0700-2100 from May 1 through September 30. No ILS approaches are published here.
Pattern altitude is 1,250 ft MSL. That equals 1,218 ft AGL. West of the airport, the terrain drives that pattern altitude. Expect close-in traffic and pay attention to the west channel procedures over the water. During tower hours in VMC, Renton tower controls the west channel below 800 ft AGL. If you are above 800 ft AGL in the west channel or the tower is closed, contact Boeing tower on 118.3 before operating there.
Vesper Aviation is on the field. It carries 100LL, Jet A and Jet A Prist. Birds are a known factor around the airport and along the Lake Washington shoreline. Be alert for Boeing production aircraft being towed across the runway when the tower is closed. Runway 16 and 34 have runway end identifier lights, medium intensity runway lights and PAPI. The airport also has automatic flight information service with ADS-B support.
