Kent

Tucked along the Green River in the Puget Sound lowlands south of Seattle, Kent is a place whose character is shaped by the broad alluvial valley that has long linked farmland, rail routes and urban growth. Incorporated in 1890, the city was named for England’s Kent because hop growing was once central to the local economy. The Kent Historical Museum occupies a former Carnegie library built in 1908, preserving a tangible link with the city’s early civic life. Today, Kent is one of King County’s largest cities, with a busy downtown and regional rail connections.
