The City of Kent neighborhood program continues to promote resident involvement by strengthening partnerships between Mayor Ralph, city leadership and its residents.

We continue to enhance our program with recognized neighborhood councils and other organized groups who want to improve communication and livability in all neighborhoods.

There are opportunities for residents to participate in the civic process, with the goal to make your neighborhood a peaceful and safe place.
