Look's like about 90% took, wow it's super dark green, love it I seeded in spring to cover a big patch left from a kids pool. wish I had mixed with other seeds to even it out with the rest of the lawn. next time I will buy a bag of each and mix together. Pacific Northwest lawns like the Fescue and Blue grows good.

Growing grass in Kent, Washington starts with choosing the right grass type for the local climate. The city's weather supports cool-season grasses like perennial ryegrass, Kentucky bluegrass, and fine fescue. These grass types handle the Pacific Northwest conditions well.
The best times to plant grass seed in Kent are:
- Spring: May 9 - June 15

Steps for successful Kent lawn care:
- Test your soil to check nutrient levels (get a custom lawn plan)
- Pick grass seed suited for your yard (find the right seed)
- Prepare the soil by removing debris and loosening the top layer
- Spread seed evenly using a seed spreader
- Keep soil moist until germination
For existing Kent lawns, overseeding helps fill thin spots and add thickness. The mild climate and regular rainfall create good growing conditions, but proper watering remains key for new grass. Water deeply but less often to encourage deep root growth. Once established, maintain your lawn with regular mowing at 2.5-3 inches high.
