About Covington

Covington stayed unincorporated King County until 1997 — one of the last big subdivisions to incorporate in the state. The city was built on planned communities through the 90s and 2000s, which gives it a distinctive newer-construction, master-planned feel that older South King cities don't have. Kent-Meridian and Kentwood school district draw most of the buyer demand.
