The Kent Launch Site is the field on the southeast corner of the Kent Space Center.  From I-5 north or south, take Highway 405 towards Renton to its junction with State Route 167.  Take SR 167 south for approximately 2 1/2 miles and take the exit to 212th street.  Take a right at the end of the off-ramp heading west-bound on 212th.  This will take you across the valley until you see the Kent Space Center.  Turn right at the main entrance and keep to the right of the guardhouse for parking outside of the Boeing plant.  We launch in the undeveloped field adjacent to the parking lot.
