Rosebed Park
Corners of First and Gowe and First and Meeker

One of my favorite spots for lunch has become Perk Up Place at the corner of Gowe and First Avenue South (inside Titusville Station). I have tried several of their salads (grilled chicken salad and the shrimp louie). They’re made individually by Shelly or Sue, and are made with fresh ingredients and in enormous portions. I had the shrimp salad for lunch and dinner yesterday and have enough left over for lunch today! I also tried a slice of Shelly’s pumpkin bread which is homemade, and loaded with delicious spices. You have to try it!

Perk Up Place
Inside Titusville Station
202 W. Gowe St., Ste. C
Kent, WA 98032

Open Monday – Friday, 8 a.m. to 2:00 p.m.

You can call ahead for pick-up at 253-854-8868 or they’ll deliver locally between 10 a.m. and 2 p.m.! They also offer catering services with party trays, hot entrees, a fiesta taco bar, and dessert and pastry trays. Yum!

If you haven’t already made plans for tomorrow night, check out the First Avenue Block Party in downtown Kent. On First Avenue South between Gowe and Titus Streets, merchants and artists are setting up booths for selling their wares, local restaurants are offering drink and meal specials, Earthworks Gem Design will display the beautiful work of several artists, and new store Cypriana will open its doors. Check out the gourmet snacks at Bella home & garden, enjoy a glass of wine from the wine garden, and stick around for the live music! It’s the fourth year for the block party and it sounds like a fun neighborhood event. See you there!
