Renton, WA Curfew Laws: Juvenile Curfew (2026)

Renton does not maintain a general juvenile curfew ordinance restricting minors from being in public places during nighttime hours. Many Washington cities have either not adopted curfews or have repealed them in response to legal challenges under state constitutional protections for freedom of movement. Minors in Renton are subject to Washington State truancy laws under RCW 28A.225 requiring compulsory school attendance for ages 8-17, with the Becca Bill allowing schools to file truancy petitions for unexcused absences. Parks in Renton close at dusk or 10 PM depending on the specific park per RMC 2-9, and minors found in closed parks at night can be cited for park trespass regardless of age. Businesses like bars, cannabis retailers, and adult establishments have their own age-restricted entry rules separate from curfew. Minors driving under the Intermediate Drivers License with restrictions cannot drive between 1 AM and 5 AM for the first six months and cannot transport passengers under 20 who are not immediate family. Parents can set family curfews but enforcement is a family matter.
