RENTON, WA – The City of Renton invites residents of all ages to take part in Live Virtual Trivia on every other Tuesday night from 6:30-8. The first contest will be “Stars and Stripes” trivia on June 30. Contests will then be held every other Tuesday evening through October 6.
The games are designed and hosted by TriviaHub Live and consist of three rounds over 60 minutes. Contestants can play alone or as part of a team using a computer or mobile device. Prizes will be awarded.
Live Virtual Trivia is another way the city’s recreation & neighborhoods division is working to keep residents engaged during COVID-19.
The division has also scheduled “Campin’ Out” a four-week backyard adventure-themed interactive series starting Monday, July 6.

July 3 will mark the end of their month-long Run into Summer 30K all-age virtual change. This competition serves as the lead-up to the Fourth of July 5K.
More information on all these activities can be found on the city’s website.
