Big Flavors, Bold Rides, and Big News for Kent

In this packed episode of KentNow, we cover everything from quirky Gen Z drink trends (Pickle Juice Slushies, anyone?) to Mark’s latest cheese-fueled adventure.   On the city front, we’re celebrating a record-breaking National Night Out with 65 neighborhoods, sharing how you can sign up for the Kent Police Community Police Academy, and giving updates on the new Link light rail stations and upcoming SR 509 tolling.   We preview this weekend’s Cajun & Creole Fest and talk about the partnerships that keep downtown thriving. We’ll also spotlight other can’t-miss events, like the Cruisin’ Kent Classic Car Show, the Hops Festival, and the return of the Kent Spotlight Series.   And because it’s Left Handers Day, we tip our hats to Mayor Ralph and share some fun lefty facts you didn’t know you needed.
