Location - 2/20/2009
The City of Covington is rich in small town character and beautiful natural environment. It is family-oriented, safe, and pedestrian-friendly town that is rapidly emerging since incorporating in 1997.
The downtown core, at the intersections of Hwy 18 and SR-516 (Kent-Kangley), features diverse retail and dining destinations. The city is increasing commercial development downtown, making this crossroads a regional draw for South King County. The Covington Aquatics Center offers a variety of activities for all ages. Each July, residents and visitors enjoy Covington Days' parade, carnival, booths and other attractions. In December, the Holiday Tree Lighting includes a visit from Santa.
It may be a small city, but it has all the shopping ammenities including Walmart, Kohl, Costco, Home Depot and many others.[read more...] |
