Tami Fowler is our September Employee of the Month! Tami was hired by the city in 1996 and now serves as a Parks Program Assistant.
She oversees the use of an assigned recreation facility and supports the administration and operation of that facility. She also provides information and assistance to facility users.

She appreciates working in the community and seeing all the happy faces at the many fun events. Tami was nominated because her dedication, commitment, and passion for her work is evident in everything she does.
Tami consistently goes above and beyond her job responsibilities by thinking creatively and finding innovative solutions to challenges. She approaches every task with a positive and can-do attitude, always striving for excellence.

Business or Leisure Tourism Grants Available

LTAC
*The City of Kent has opened applications for the Business or Leisure Tourism Promotion Grant for 2024-25 projects. Applications are being accepted online until October 31, 2023. [ https://www.kentwa.gov/government/boards-commissions/lodging-tax-advisory-committee/lodging-tax-grant-application-guidelines?utm_medium=email&utm_source=govdelivery ]*
The program aims to fund the marketing, operation and promotion of activities, events or projects that promote Kent both as a business or leisure destination, ultimately bringing more people to the city from at least 50 miles away.
Organizations with a creative vision for events or initiatives that attract visitors to Kent are eligible to apply. Projects that draw overnight visitors will be prioritized.
Kent’s Lodging Tax Advisory Committee (LTAC) will review the applications in November and make funding recommendations to the Kent City Council.
The grant awards are selected via a competitive process and are provided on a reimbursable basis. Complete program eligibility requirements and criteria is available online [ https://www.kentwa.gov/government/boards-commissions/lodging-tax-advisory-committee/lodging-tax-grant-application-guidelines?utm_medium=email&utm_source=govdelivery ].
The money for grant awards is made possible by the collection of a one percent state tax on overnight hotel, motel, and bed and breakfast stays. State law dictates who is eligible to apply, and mandates the funds be used for marketing and promotion of business and leisure tourism
