History

In 1996, the city of Renton proposed an annexation of the Maplewood Heights area, part of the plateau’s western edge, but it was rejected by voters. A competing proposal to create a new city named Briarwood was also rejected by voters in a March 1998 election.

East Renton Highlands is part of the potential annexation area (PAA) of Renton, but in February 2007 voters defeated a 1,475-acre (5.97 km) annexation proposal 3 to 1. In January 2008, the Renton City Council accepted a petition, using the 60% Direct Method, for the proposed Liberty Annexation: 193 acres (0.78 km) located in the vicinity of 156th Avenue SE, SE 144th Street, and SE 134th Street.
