Renton City Retro started in 2014 when some gamers had a gathering and realized there is a demand to buy, sell, and trade video games. Our passionate crew put together a small show in Lake City, WA and drew about 200 attendees. With rapid growth we couldn’t hold it at the Lake City Community center anymore. So, we moved to Kent Commons Center and sold over 1000 tickets. With a huge increase of attendees, we knew we had something big going.
Since then Renton City Retro has become a non-profit and is back for it’s 6th annual gaming show. This year we are going to limit the number of vendors to provide an elite gaming experience for our attendees. We’re focusing on game developers/designers, YouTube content creators, Twitch Streamers, and did we mention gaming?! There will be pinball tournaments, arcade machines, tabletop games, modern gaming, retro gaming, and more.
