The Kenmore Top 4: June 10, 2022

At the June 13 City Council meeting, additional tenant protection measures will be discussed, including whether to exempt renter protection regulations for landlords renting four or fewer rental units. Public comments at the meeting are welcome, or can be submitted in advance via email. In March, Kenmore City Council approved Ordinance 22-0545, putting in place a variety of tenant protections.

The City of Kenmore was awarded a Municipal Excellence Award for its American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA) response, including direct cash assistance to residents in need, funds for affordable housing development, business assistance, and an innovative public engagement process. Kenmore is one of five cities honored by the Association of Washington Cities for innovative city projects that significantly improve the quality of life for their communities.

Limited space is still available in some great Kenmore summer camps, including Skate Like a Girl, Skyhawks, and YMCA Day Camps. The City of Kenmore received a $244,000 Summer Experiences & Enrichment for Kids (SEEK) grant, which is funding 10 weeks of free YMCA day camps for 700 local campers in grades K-5.

Meet with friends, get some work done, or grab a cup of coffee! The Hangar in Kenmore's Town Square and Diva Espresso are back open to full operating hours. The community is encouraged to use this free gathering space to connect and enjoy downtown Kenmore.
Hours: Monday - Saturday: 6am - 8pm, Sunday: 7am - 6pm
