A Decade of Memories: Saying Goodbye to Renton

For the past ten years, Renton has been more than just a city to us—it has been our home. It has been the place where Renton City Retro and Evergreen Tabletop Expo grew, thrived, and became part of something much bigger than ourselves. From the vibrant halls of the Renton Pavilion to the lively streets of downtown, Renton embraced us with open arms, and we will forever be grateful.

Today, it is with heavy hearts that we announce our departure from Renton. The Renton Pavilion, our beloved venue, is transforming into a night market, leaving us without a space to call home within the city. While we fully support the growth and evolution of our community, this change also means we must move on—a bittersweet moment for all of us.

Over the years, Renton has given us more than we could have ever asked for. The city became the beating heart of our events, bringing together fans, collectors, gamers, and creators. It’s where friendships were forged over shared passions, where families created traditions, and where the energy of a supportive and engaged community brought our dreams to life.

We cannot thank the people of Renton enough for their love and support. You came to our events, rain or shine. You brought your enthusiasm, your talent, and your passion. You helped us grow and evolve into something we are proud of today. Without you, none of this would have been possible.

Though we are leaving Renton, this city will always hold a special place in our hearts. It will always be our home, the place where it all began. The memories we’ve made here will continue to inspire us as we turn the page to a new chapter.

Looking ahead, we are excited to invite you to join us this coming year at the Tacoma Convention Center. While the location may be new, the spirit of what we’ve built together will remain the same. Our commitment to providing an incredible experience for our community is stronger than ever, and we look forward to welcoming you to our next adventure.

To our Renton family: thank you for a decade of unforgettable moments. Thank you for your support, your energy, and your love. This isn’t goodbye forever—it’s simply a new chapter in the story we’ve written together. We hope to see you all soon in Tacoma, where the legacy of Renton City Retro and Evergreen Tabletop Expo will continue to thrive.

With love and gratitude,
The Renton City Retro and Evergreen Tabletop Expo Teams
