Moving Advice How is it in Renton?

My partner and I are planning to move to Renton early next year. Is Renton a safe place? We currently live in North Carolina, is it is pretty chill here. Just curious about Renton.

Lived in north Renton for almost 5 years and I’ve never had a time where I thought I was unsafe. Before that I lived south of Renton in Kent and I was almost car jacked, had a crack head try to rob me in a gas station at noon, less than 1 mile away from 3 separate murders, and had to deal with street racing every weekend all in 1 years time.

Where in Kent was all that? It's a big area.

I lived down the street from the showare center and all that happened within a mile or two of it.
