Santa is coming to Kent to take pictures with families at the local shopping center, Marketplace at Lake Meridian, on Saturday, Dec. 17, from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m.

The time-honored tradition of photos with Santa continues, with free keepsake prints to the first 300 attendees of the event. Kids can get their face painted by one of Santa’s elves. Parents can get in the spirit of the season by listening to music from strolling carolers.

“This is a great way for us to celebrate a shopping center that is constantly improving and growing. We are dedicated to the community and look forward for more ways in the future to give back,” said Dee Spector, Asset manager.

Pictures will be available at 12932 Kent Kangley Road, Kent.

For more information about this event, please contact Sticky Center at 800-479-STKY (7859).

Marketplace at Lake Meridian is managed by Premier Centers Management.
