Considering job offer in Kent, Business located on S 216 St off I-5 and Orilla Rd. Dont want to commute more than 30 min 1 way. We have 2 teens and would want best most conservative Highschool (if there is such a thing). We are typical middle class male/female married folks. Looking for clean quiet suburban area.

There are no good public schools in Kent, because it is a blue color city, and the schools are just not good. You should consider to live in more upscale cities like Bellevue (the closest upscale city from Kent) or some parts of Seattle where the schools are better or if you choose to live in Kent (there are some beautiful and affordable neighborehoods here) then you should consider private schools. The good thing about Kent is that a lot of housing here is brand new, this is a new city with beautiful new roads, new shops, it is getting better and better, it is a relatively safe place, just not middle class enough, but will probably get there in about 5-10 years. We moved here from Bellevue, and I miss it a lot: people are more polite and friendly in Bellevue for some reason. Hope that helps and does not scare you too much
