This past year the City of Kent has seen many changes, some positive and some not. We saw the grand opening of the ShoWare Center, the re-election of Mayor Suzette Cooke and we’ve welcomed the Kent Predators. We also battled floods, crime and graffiti. We saw new businesses come (e.g., Blanc ‘n Schwarz, Humanity Salon, Petrik Photography) and we lost old favorites (e.g., American Charm, Nature’s Vignettes, Cypriana).
With those ideas in mind, what should Kent strive for in 2010? If you were to choose one New Year’s resolution for the City of Kent in 2010, what would it be? New parking garage, repaired dam, thriving downtown, local theater?

My suggestion is to work on getting rid of the coyotes! We live on the East Hill. The cotoytes have taken over and have killed my dog, my duck and 6 of my chickens. Something needs to be done, they have invaded my home. They can even be seen midday. This resolution would not only help me but many others in this city with the same issues.
Thanks, Jamie, for your post. I live on the East Hill too and hear the coyotes at Clark Lake Park at night.
Jamie the coyotes are here in the valley and up the west hill too! I hope pet owners are aware of how close these canines are to their walking paths. At night I watched one cross right behind a lady and her dog she had no clue although her dog did! Ive resorted to carrying pepper spray while walking my dog.
Jamie, the contest wasn’t very popular – you were the only one who posted a resolution for Kent – you are the winner! Please send me your mailing address and I’ll send the Kent Station gift card to you! You can email me at info AT ilovekent DOT net. Thanks for commenting. I hope you’ll continue to visit the site!

I came across this contest and wondered if you are doing the same thing this year or not. If so, my suggestion would be to have a computer gaming contest at a local school or library.
I like your idea, but I’m not sure about the contest again this year. I got very few responses last year and the winner not got back to me to claim her prize. If I do the contest again, I will include your idea as an entry. Thanks for reading!
