Kent 2044 Comprehensive Plan: Building Our Future Together

The 2044 Comprehensive Plan is adopted!

Successful change doesn't happen to communities, but with them.

The Kent 2044 Comprehensive Plan (the Plan) is our shared vision to guide Kent’s growth over the next 20 years. It is a road map to guide both short-and long-term strategic policy, decision-making, and investments relating to housing and development, jobs, transportation, environmental resources, climate resiliency, and other important topics that impact daily life.

Updated every 10 years as required by the State of Washington’s Growth Management Act (GMA), the Plan is a living document that incorporates community voices, responds to changing trends, and builds upon numerous prior planning efforts to ensure the City meets its allocated growth targets of 10,200 new housing units and 32,000 new jobs.The Comprehensive Plan envisions a future where existing residents and future generations thrive in Kent.
