Demolition begins on long-abandoned former Boeing building in Renton, WA

Demolition is underway at a long-abandoned property in Renton that was formerly owned by Boeing, after years of deterioration raised safety concerns for nearby residents.

Construction crews are demolishing an abandoned building in Renton, formerly owned by Boeing.

Heavy machinery could be seen on site Wednesday.

This comes after a meeting last month between the city of Renton and the property owners, ION Renton, LLC.

City of Renton plans meeting with owners of dilapidated office building

The owners of a former Boeing building now in a state of disrepair could be headed for a legal battle with Renton's local government.

City code enforcement issued a demolition permit for this property last year after it sat dilapidated for years, but tell us the property owners never acted on it.

The city couldn’t tell FOX 13 what happened in the meeting between the two parties' lawyers, but did confirm demolition was in progress on at least one of the buildings.

Future plans for the property are not being made public at this time.
