Hello!
The City of Kent has some wonderful partners that are good corporate citizens and who are supportive of our community. Republic Services is one of those partners. Last weekend, I was invited to join them in their annual employee rodeo at accesso ShoWare Center. I even got to drive one of their trucks through an obstacle course. It is not as easy as it looks, but working with Republic is. We are grateful that they care so much about our community.
Have a great weekend!

Whenever I meet with students, they often ask me what it’s like to be the Mayor of Kent. I tell them that I get to take care of 130,000 people and each day is different.
To get an inside look, South Sound Business followed me for a day to see what a day as mayor looks like. Read more about it here.

Our Multimedia Department is amazing. They do everything from designing graphics and creating animation to taking photos and telling our story through video. Whatever they do, they do it with style and professionalism.
City of Kent Multimedia won five awards from the National Association of Telecommunications Officers and Advisors (NATOA) this fall for their incredible work. Congratulations to the whole team!
