Knol is a 215-unit apartment community located 30 minutes south of Seattle, in the Kent Valley. This area is the 4th largest distribution and manufacturing hub in the country, with such companies as Amazon, Boeing, Starbucks, and REI located there. A commuter-rail line and an under-construction light-rail provide Kent residents convenient connectivity to nearby Seattle and Tacoma and are helping to spur redevelopment and rejuvenation of the downtown area.
