Lift Truck Chain Kent

Lift Truck Chain Kent - Kent (population 118,200) is a city within the state of Washington, US. Kent is a suburb of Seattle and the 3rd biggest city within King County. The population has recently grown, but due primarily to annexation, not to an influx of new inhabitants. Nearby towns consist of Federal Way, Auburn, part of Covington to the South, unincorporated King County, Des Moines, Sea Tac and Federal Way to the west, Renton and Tukwila to the north, and Covington to the east. Mt. Rainier could be seen to the southeast.

Kent City is composed of three areas: East Hill, the Valley and West Hill. The downtown core lies within the Valley. Kent has a total area of 73.2 km2, wherein 0.6 km2 is water and 72.6 km2 is land. Kent has the 2nd largest warehouse district within the US. The Green River runs north through Kent on its way to Puget Sound. The East Hill area has a big lake called Lake Meridian.

Kent was originally referred to as Titusville after it was established by European-Americans inhabitants in the early part of the 1860s. There is still a visible "Titusville Station" sign which could be found on Gowe St. Hops were the focus of the economy within the city as a lot of its earnings came from the grain in the 1880s. In Europe, an aphid infestation had destroyed hops crops, boosting the price of hops from the Puget Sound region where hops were shipped from Titusville by rail or river transportation. A local aphids invasion eventually brought at end to the production of hops within the valley. Titusville was given a new name, after Kent County in England. Kent was established as a city in the year 1890 with a population of 793.

Kent is home to the headquarters of corporations such as Seattle Bicycle Supply, REI and Oberto Sausage Company. There is a Boeing plant situated within the city of Kent. The once-fertile valley is now covered with many warehouses due partially to Kent's part as a center for transportation routes. The sprawling warehouse district is used for regional distribution by companies like Whirlpool Corporation and general Electric Appliances.

Kent has just undergone a revitalization drive with the development of the Kent Station and the ancillary shopping area.
