Kent at a Glance

Businesses looking for quality investments will find a community that delivers. The Kent Valley is home to the fourth-largest warehouse and distribution center in the United States. Manufacturing and distribution of goods has been at the forefront of infrastructure planning for decades.

A transportation system linking Kent's industrial district to major highways combined with its close proximity to SeaTac International Airport, as well as both the Ports of Seattle and Tacoma, results in an ideal location for businesses to operate.
