Renton Hill, Seattle

Historically, Renton Hill was a neighborhood of Seattle, Washington, United States.

Centered roughly at 18th Avenue and Madison Street, it was roughly the southern part of today's Capitol Hill plus a large adjacent section south of Madison Street.

[3] The Renton Hill Community Improvement Club was the city's first community club, organized in 1901 for public improvements such as water, sidewalks, lighting, and beautification.

This was in reaction to encroaching African American population from the east, Asian from the south, and urban downtown from the west.
