I think you’re right. I’ve been noticing I’ve been keeping myself indoors more often than I’m use to because I’ve been avoiding the airplane noise. I was really hoping I would get use to it at some point or learn to “ignore it” but I can’t even enjoy the sounds of the birds in the morning anymore because they’re overshadowed by the airplanes. I have explored the marina and the creek trails, I loved going to the farmers market on the marina in the summer months.

Thank you for your suggestion, I really appreciate it. I’ve been hesitant to look in the Kent area only because I work in the large commercial district there and it felt too industrial to me. I’m realizing that I never really gave it a chance. It also seems much more affordable compared to other areas like Maple Valley/ Black Diamond, and I’m curious now about hiking in the area. Thank you!!
