  • What areas of Kent are safe for walking around at night?

    Overall, Kent is a nice town with a low crime rate and safe neighborhoods. However, the most desirable parts of town tend to be the western portion of town and the eastern part closest to Clark Lake.

Yet some other safe sections of town include the areas around 192nd St/108th Ave, 272nd St/216th Ave, 224th St/148th Ave, and 132nd Ave/208th St.

  • How is the public transportation system in Kent?

    Central to King County Metro transit, the Kent Station provides service to many destinations, including downtown Seattle. Service to Seattle is offered by multiple commuter buses, the Sounder Commuter Rail, and local bus service. Therefore, Kent's public transportation system is best for commuting to and from Seattle, with many buses leaving in the early morning and late afternoon. Two major north-south lines also provide heavy rail serce in the area.

  • What kinds of job opportunities are available in Kent?

The next largest employers include Kent Public Schools (3,292), the City of Kent (782), REI (700) Mikron (675), King County Regional Justice Center (630), Colto Distributing (620), Sysco (510), Alaska Airlines (459), and Oberto (455). R.E.I., Oberto Sausage Company, and Seattle Bicycle Supply are all headquartered in Kent. Kent also hosts a large warehouse district that has recently begun to extend into neighboring towns. Inhabitants include the distribution centers of Whirlpool Corporation and General Electric Appliances.

  • Is Kent a good place for younger people?

    With a population of about 120,000, Kent is a city in King County, Washington. Located about halfway between Seattle and Tacoma, Kent is a good place for young people who need to commute to either city for work but prefer to live in a slightly smaller, more manageable city. Kent is also 26 percent cheaper than Seattle, making it a good place for younger people on a budget that want to live in the area. Although Seattle certainly has more options when it comes to nightlife, it's only 25 minutes north of Kent, and Kent itself has both other younger people living there--28 percent of its population, in fact--and an after-dark scene of its own. However, considering the fact that it rains about three out of four seasons of the year in Kent, it's not the best place for younger folk that require ample amounts of sunshine.
