Seat Squatters, Star Wars & City Systems

This week on KentNow, Tracy and Mark tackle the growing frustrations around airplane “seat squatting,” speakerphone etiquette in public spaces, and Costco’s newest dessert obsession.

Then, we celebrate Kent’s 136th birthday, talk National Night Out, Teen Police Academy, PawFest, Kent Kitty Hall, summer concerts, and more happening around the city.

Plus — City of Kent IT Director James Endicott and IT Technical Operations Manager CC Kermen join the show for a behind-the-scenes look at the technology and business systems that help keep city operations running every day. From cybersecurity to critical infrastructure, they share how much city services rely on IT in ways most residents never see.

And in this week’s “Did Ya Know,” Mark dives into the chaotic final days before the original Star Wars hit theaters in 1977.

Next episode: We’re dedicating an entire episode to FIFA and regional transportation planning with Kent Food Tours’ Christina Argosonomy, Deputy Public Works Director Kelly Peterson, and King County Metro. 🚆⚽
