Kent: Warehousing and Aerospace in the Green River Valley
Kent occupies the Green River Valley between Seattle and Tacoma, covering roughly 34 square miles of relatively flat land that sits between the higher terrain of the Cascade foothills and Puget Sound. The population is about 131,000, and the city is the sixth-largest in Washington. Its location on I-5, I-405, and SR 167, combined with the rail lines that parallel those highways, has made Kent one of the largest warehousing and distribution hubs in the Pacific Northwest.
Boeing maintains a Space and Launch division facility in Kent that has supported work on commercial satellites, the 747 airborne laser test program, and various defense contracts. Amazon operates multiple fulfillment centers in the city, along with REI's flagship distribution center and the regional hubs for several logistics firms. The Kent Valley industrial corridor stretches for miles along the valley floor, generating a substantial share of King County's industrial property tax base.
The ShoWare Center, a 6,000-seat arena that opened in 2009, hosts the Seattle Thunderbirds of the Western Hockey League along with concerts and conventions. Kent Station, the outdoor mixed-use development near the Sounder commuter rail platform, anchors the downtown core.
