Legion Way is a roadway/urban design project kicking off Olympia’s Downtown Strategic Plan in an effort to revitalize their historic downtown core. KPG redeveloped one of Downtown’s main intersections into a decorative raised intersection, focusing on safe pedestrian and vehicular access, placemaking, and heritage tree preservation, by incorporating innovative technologies while celebrating the historic nature of downtown Olympia.

Happy 31st Birthday to us! It has been a great 31 years, and we are looking forward to many more. To celebrate our birthday, we are setting a goal to collect 1990 non-perishable food items to donate in our Food Frenzy event this year with @foodlifeline! We will continue to share updates on our goal over the next few months, who thinks we can do it?!

In 2019 our Landscape Architecture team completed the Naden Park & Greenway Master Plan vision in the City of Kent. The goal was to create a “central park” where the community will be able to gather for festivals, farmers markets, or other events. One of the unique features of this project is the amphitheater space that will be able to feature both free and ticketed events in the future!

Congratulations to KPGer Darek Goch for just earning his PE License! The best part about having his PE? Well, he looks forward to taking on some of the challenging projects our area has to offer and continue to expand his knowledge of the industry. But most of all, he is most excited about not having to study ever again! We hear you, Darek!

KPG Hikes recently participated in their second hike of the year. Aviation’s Service Manager, Jonathan, Senior Marketing Specialist, Drew, and fiancée Kelly enjoyed the climb to this popular viewpoint where, if it weren’t cloudy, they could have seen the Seattle skyline. Who else loves hiking, rain or shine? 🙌🏽

KPG provided preliminary engineering for improvements along N Wenatchee Avenue. This project consisted of traffic modeling and design improvements that increased traffic capacity and safety, and multi-modal connections. A unique design opportunity included branding and visioning for urban design and gateway features.

Happy National Employee Appreciation Day to all of our KPGers! Whether they are building a holiday lane design (2019), cycling the pipeline trail for a site visit (2019), drawing cats during a virtual talent show (2020), participating in the KPG golf tournament (2020), or representing KPG at an IACC event (2019) - they are always raising the bar with their hard work, humor, and dedication. Our employees are what makes KPG a special place to work and we couldn’t ask for a better group of folks! Looking forward to the day we are all back in the office to celebrate in KPG style!
