Pizza, PawFest & Pitching In

From viral Costco cookies to earning pizza for reading (yes, it’s back), this episode of the pod has a little bit of everything.

We kick things off with some fun current events, including summer drinks at Starbucks and a nostalgic library challenge from King County Library System that rewards readers with a slice of Pagliacci pizza.

Then we dive into what’s happening here in Kent:

A new opportunity to serve on the King County Landmarks and Heritage Commission
Meet Me on Meeker Part 2 and what it means for downtown
Upcoming events you won’t want to miss—from Medicine Take Back Day to the Kent Bike Rodeo and PawFest 2026

We’re also joined by Tony Donati to talk about the Adopt-a-Spot and Adopt-a-Street programs, how residents can get involved, and why efforts like Team Up to Clean Up and local recycling events play such an important role in keeping Kent clean and connected.

If you’ve ever thought about getting involved or just want to know how small actions add up to a big impact—this conversation is for you.

Plus, stick around for a “Did You Know” that might make you rethink long words forever.
