Listen "From Pumpkin Spice to Public Transit"
Episode Synopsis
It’s official!! Pumpkin spice season is here, even if the weather still feels like summer (87 degrees?).
In this week’s episode of KentNow, we’re talking about back-to-school reminders, Labor Day travel tips, and yes — a little pop culture, including Netflix’s hit K-Pop Demon Hunters and Taylor Swift's engagement!
We’ll also dig into some important local updates. The team sat down with King County Metro Transportation Planner Nicole Aguirre and Senior Community Engagement Planner Cristina Gonzalez to talk about the big changes coming to South King County transit, how your feedback has shaped the plan, and what it means for Kent riders, especially those who depend on late-night and weekend service. Clink here to take the survey.
Closer to home, we’ll touch on the Rediscover Downtown plan, highlight a new opportunity for digital media artists, and run through what’s coming up around town: the Kent Valley Coin Show, the final Summer Movie in the Park, and the first-ever Hops Festival at the Kent Historical Museum. Plus, we’ll give you a sneak peek at the new
Spotlight Series season and a fun “Did You Know?” from the Hydroplane Museum.
