As a regional base camp, located centrally along I-5 between Seattle and Tacoma, Kent offers a unique cultural blend of outdoor recreation, urban art and city nightlife. Best of all, your readers will benefit from hearing about tips for exploring a new city.

Outdoor enthusiasts won’t want to miss the Kent Valley Loop Trails (KVLT) system. Visitors enjoy nearly 30 miles of mostly paved trails and access to 10 parks. Bicyclists, runners and joggers alike will enjoy the fantastic views of Mount Rainier along the way.

After a day on the trail, your readers can enjoy the walking trails and amenities at Lake Meridian, peruse eclectic downtown shops and take in free events such as Third Thursday Art Night featuring local artists. Round out the day with a bite and craft beer at Airways Brewing & Bistro.
