Moving machinery in and out of Kent
Kent is the center of the Kent Valley, a large warehouse and distribution district between Seattle and Tacoma with SR-167, SR-18 and I-5 access. Machines leave Kent on SR-167, SR-18, SR-516 and I-5, and a load taller than 14 ft needs a WSDOT permit for the exact route.

Questions about shipping in Kent, WA
Who handles permits for a machine leaving Kent?
In Washington they come from the Washington State Department of Transportation, Commercial Vehicle Services (WSDOT), and if the route crosses other states each one issues its own. They are arranged before pickup, for the exact route.
Can you pick up at a jobsite in Kent?
Yes. Tell us whether there is a ramp, a forklift or a crane for loading and what the access is like; the carrier confirms it with you before arrival.
What if the machine leaves Washington?
Each state on the route issues its own permit. From Kent, the closest neighbor is Oregon: Portland is about 130 miles away, and that leg's permit comes from the Oregon Department of Transportation, Commerce and Compliance Division (ODOT). Idaho is next, through the Idaho Transportation Department, Commercial Vehicle Services (ITD).
