Kent details summer events; moves Thursday Lake Meridian concerts to Morrow Meadows
Summary
In a weekly update, Kent Mayer highlighted parks pop-ups, the Parks and Rec Month kickoff, the summer concert series relocation from Lake Meridian to Morrow Meadows and Kent Cornucopia Days parade logistics.
Kent Mayer, presenter of the city’s weekly update, highlighted a slate of summer events and said the city has moved its Thursday night Lake Meridian concerts to Morrow Meadows at the YMCA because of parking constraints at Lake Meridian.
Mayer described several Parks Department pop-up events for July — designated Parks and Rec Month — and said the kickoff at Hogan Park at Russell Road included activities for children such as making snack mixes and giveaways. He directed listeners to mycampparks.com for the pop-up schedule and to kentwa.gov/summer for a full list of summer events, including farmers markets, concerts and playground lunches.
Mayer also thanked the Sunrise Rotary for inviting him to speak and noted that the club donates 750 (currency not specified in the update) of food in the speaker’s name; he praised service clubs for community support. He thanked the Parks neighborhood for hosting a “drinks in the driveway” event and said staff spent about two hours discussing park and public-safety concerns with neighbors.
On Kent Cornucopia Days, Mayer reminded residents the parade is on Sunday along Fourth Avenue and said there will be a live social media play-by-play with Josh and Tracy. No public-safety or road-closure details were provided in the update.
These announcements were informational; no formal votes or policy changes were made during the update.
