When phone numbers in Kent were still a few digits shorter, they included a color and a number to help narrow down groupings. Gussie Rogers, shown on the far right, was an operator who acted as an intermediary between farms and local businesses.

Kent was not the only town in the valley with a community baseball team; pictured here is the city's primary team. The community supported many teams, and both games and practices were held on local fields. #WeAreKent #historyofkent

🚘Cars naturally accumulate dirt, grime, oil, and other pollutants.

Along with detergents and other cleaning supplies, washing your car at home will carry these pollutants through storm drains and into our waterways. Let's keep our water clean and our environment healthy!

Many photographs taken in Kent were taken by the photographers of the Clark Photo Studio.

The studio owned by Irving Clark was operated out of his home in the valley. Here children posed outside the studio in a small carriage. #historyofkent
