In 1995, Don and Karen Barrett turned their love and hobby of collecting antiques into a business, opening City Bank Antiques in downtown Kent. Among the City Bank Antiques inventory are sterling-silver souvenir spoons, Tiffany-style lamps, Native American points, vintage watches and antique clocks. The store also offers watch repair. The Barretts make themselves available for public speaking engagements, presenting on general antique topics, vintage timepieces and financial investments.
