Port helps Finish Kent’s South 228th Street Overpass
Despite chilling drizzle, Kent Mayor Cooke and I cut the ribbon on the new overpass above the BN railroad tracks in Kent. The ports of Seattle and Tacoma generate over 100,000 jobs, and those jobs depend on an efficient traffic system and on our ability to move freight efficiently. That is why the Port of Seattle spent $1,2 million of our community’s tax dollars finishing Kent’s 228th street overpass. Kent residents will be able to move around their community more easily, and our region will be able to move freight more efficiently. Both are good for jobs in Kent and around King and Pierce counties.
