Port Quendall encompasses a 68-acre site on the southeastern shore of Lake Washington. Once home to a coal tar refinery and creosote plant, the site is contaminated and in need of clean-up. The City's goal is to seek a public-private partnership to clean up the site and redevelop the land. The project will improve the environmental and economic climate of Renton, improve water quality and habitat and bring back to life a beautiful site. Port Quendall will also attract livable wage jobs, diversify Renton's economic base and provide a lakefront trail and park along the shore of Lake Washington.
