Working in the yard and around the house became a lot more fun for KPG’s Seattle Office Manager, Lucy, this last year! Lucy built up her confidence by learning how to operate a backhoe to tackle a HUGE backyard project, and when her dryer bit the dust, she took it apart and used this dryer drum to fix it herself! Way to go Lucy! What projects have you been up to?

In a recent survey, KPGers shared that about 40% of them attended a virtual family holiday, 30% started a new hobby, and about 20% tried baking bread from a sourdough starter. Over the next two months, we will highlight various ways our KPGers have grown, including adding members to their families, changing their carbon footprint, taking on new hobbies, and even improving their yards! How have you grown in the last year?

Many of our KPG friends and families got out this last week and collected garbage in their local communities to help celebrate Earth Day. Together we found bags of garbage at the Veterans Memorial Park in Port Orchard, used cups in Kent, and more bags of garbage in Orting – we were happy to get out and help make a difference. How did you celebrate Earth Day last week? #environmentalstewardship #earthday #teamKPG
KPG is currently working with the City of Renton to convert Williams Ave S and Wells Ave S between S Grady Way and N 1st Street from a one-way to a two-way traffic operation, and construction is currently underway! KPG Project Manager, Jason, was recently on-site to oversee decorative raised concrete pavement pours at the intersections of S 3rd Street and Wells Avenue/Williams Avenue. Over the next several months, the contractor will construct similar raised concrete intersections at the intersections of S 2nd Street and Wells Avenue/Williams Avenue. We are excited to see how these improvements will enhance Downtown Renton!

We’d love to see your photos and give you a shout out for your efforts for the rest of April. Go out there, be safe, and feel good knowing you did a little something for mother nature! #earthday #teamKPG #environmentalstewardship
Happy Administrative Professionals Day! Without the support of each one of you, we wouldn’t be where we are today. We want to share these virtual flowers with all of you – although they might not smell as good as the one’s in real life, they will last forever! ♥️ Thank you for all you do!

The grass IS greener! It’s that time… time to spruce up your lawn. Giving it the care it needs now will provide you with a beautiful lawn for summer fun. Here is the care your grass needs now:
1. Seed and overseed bare spots
2. Fertilize with slow release fertilizer (more on this below!)
3. Mow regularly at 2 inches height
4. Let it lie – grass clippings that stay on the lawn serve as more fertilizer. Keeping it green!
More about fertilizers: Slow release fertilizers benefit your lawns in more ways than one! Although they are more expensive, they last longer on your lawn, reducing the risk of burning your turf, sustaining grass growth (less mowing) and reducing leaching into the groundwater. Look for a fertilizer that has low nitrogen (N), medium potassium (P), and low, to no, phosphorus (K). For example, a NPK of 4-6-0.

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!
