Celebrate Renton's 'Hatch Day' Beginning April 1
Erasmus the dragon's third birthday kicks off Friday, starting with a scavenger hunt in downtown Renton.
RENTON, WA — Renton will once again celebrate Erasmus' Hatch Day starting April 1, marking three years since the city's favorite dragon became the guardian of downtown.
The fun begins Friday with a self-guided scavenger hunt, seeking 30 of Erasmus' closest friends hidden around downtown. Families need only find 10 of them for a chance to win. Hatch Day scorecards can be printed out online or picked up at one of the following locations:
- Common Ground Cupcake & Coffee 900 S 3rd St
- Sparkle Gifts & Whatnot 824 S 3rd St
- Wyldwood Creative 822 S 3rd St
While supplies last, the same three shops will also provide a free art kit to help kids make their fiercest dragon masks.

Families also have a chance to win gift cards to local businesses by sending a selfie from the designated spot on Wells Avenue South, with submissions due April 12.
