Erasmus M.
Smithers (February 17, 1830–1900, Renton, Washington) was one of the European pioneers of the Pacific coast and the founder of the city of Renton, King County, Washington.
His wife and her first husband had settled on the land where the town is now located in 1853, fifteen miles (24 km) from what is now Seattle.
At the time there were no white settlers at a point nearer than Seattle, which was then a frontier settlement.
