Why Kent Is a Strong Market for Cleaning Businesses
With a population of 136,000+, Kent ranks as Washington's #6 largest city and a key economic center. Kent sits in the heart of the Green River Valley — one of the Pacific Northwest's largest warehouse and industrial districts — while its residential hills offer thousands of family homes seeking cleaning services. Major employers including Boeing, REI Co-op, Blue Origin drive a professional workforce that increasingly relies on cleaning services.
At $72,500 median household income and $475,000 median home value, Kent offers a profitable market for cleaning businesses. Service-oriented neighborhoods like East Hill, West Hill, Meridian / Panther Lake anchor recurring residential demand.
Kent's Pacific Northwest climate brings mild, rainy winters and dry summers. Frequent rain tracks in mud and moisture, creating consistent year-round demand for regular cleaning. As Kent continues to grow, both new residents and established homeowners are driving consistent demand for professional cleaning services.
Green River Valley = Dual Residential & Commercial Market
Kent's residential hills combined with one of the West Coast's largest industrial corridors create dual revenue streams. MaidProfit helps you manage both residential recurring accounts and commercial contracts from one platform.
