City staff directed residents to jobs.kentwa.gov for current openings and application details. The update also said the city is accepting applicants for boards and commissions, with particular need for new members on the Parks and Recreation Commission. Other boards listed included land use and planning, the bicycle advisory committee, the human services commission and the arts commission. The city provided information and an application portal at kentwah.gov/boardsandcommissions.

“Kent Mayer, a city staff member, said, ‘Beginning May 7, TSA will be requiring that you have real ID or compliant ID in order to travel by air.’”

The city’s update said travelers can use a U.S. passport or passport card at security checkpoints, or apply for a REAL ID through the Washington State Department of Licensing (DOL). Obtaining a REAL ID typically requires additional documentation and a fee; the city referenced the DOL’s information page at dol.wa.gov/real-id for details and required documents.

The reminder is intended to give residents time to secure compliant identification before the federal enforcement date. For more information about REAL ID requirements and acceptable documents, the city pointed residents to the DOL website listed above.

The remarks occurred during the City of Kent’s weekly update.","Kent staff warned that the Transportation Security Administration will require REAL ID-compliant identification beginning May 7 and advised travelers to use a passport or obtain a Real ID from the Washington Department of Licensing.","actionData","errors"]
