This week on KentNow, Tracy, Kyle, Kevin, and Mark are joined by Kent Parks’ own Ronda Billerbeck and Mark Hendrickson for a deep dive into all things Winterfest—happening this weekend! We also preview the Christmas Rush 5K/10K on December 13 and talk about what runners can expect this year.

But it wouldn’t be a KentNow episode without a little pop culture. The team breaks down the buzz around Stranger Things Volume 5 and this week’s “Did You Know?” is a special treat for our Star Wars fans—prepare your lightsabers.

In City Business, we look ahead to the December 9 Kent City Council meeting, and share updates as Mayor Ralph is already on the road in Olympia meeting with legislators about Kent’s 2026 Legislative Priorities.

It’s a packed episode!
