.: Renton
Renton seems like a nice quiet place, with small lakes and beautiful hills for hiking. There is some farming and light industry, but for the most part Renton is dedicated to housing, places for wageslaves to shop and spend their nuyen to enrich their meaningless lives, software design and production firms, and security facilities.
Unfortunately, Renton is also the main Seattle headquatres of the Humanis Policlub. People in this area are either humanocentric racists or prometahuman activists - there aren't many people who don't bend one way or the other. There's plenty of work to be had as the two groups butt heads, so if you are picky who you work for, be sure to check out any Johnson in Renton very carefully.
The Mafia and Yakuza are both quite active in this area, and the Seoulpa Rings also do business here, so work can be found among the syndicates as well.
I suggest staying away from the Murdered Mime and Italiano clubs. Located directly across the street from each other, the Mime is a Yakuza hangout and the Italiano a Mafia joint. Violence is the norm there, and it is very easy to get dragged into it. THe Knight Errant Seattle Training Academy is another place to avoid. Security there is extremely tough, and all the students are combat trained and familiar with security protocol. If you need to take something from Knight Errant, strongly consider getting it from somewhere else.
.: Places of Interest
The town is too hot. Stay away. Unless you are working here, stay away.
.: Gangs
Renton has a lot of gangs, and they are all particularly tough and violent. Most are invovled win the drug and chip trades. The Blood Mountain Boys are the largest go-gang in the area, and they claim nearly all of I-169. The BMB go for a "tribal" look; They wear tribal leathers and often war paint as well. Though they primarily run chips, the BMB prefer drugs and alcohol to technological vices, and their all-night traveling binges are legendary.
The Night Hunters are actually several splinter thrill gangs, all using the same name. All the groups are technofetishists and extremely anti-metahuman. Hunters go for lots of cybermodifications, and enjoy using vocal modifications to make weird "hunting calls" to scare their victims. They sell BTLs to raise nuyen, and spend the rest of their time handling out Humanis propaganda and terrorizing anyone caught on their turf at night, especially metahumans.
