COVINGTON, Wash. — An urban village complete with a movie theater, restaurants, condos, apartments and townhomes is coming to the city of Covington.
The new development called LakePointe Urban Village is expected to break ground in 2023 following the construction of the Covington Connector, which is a $30 million project that will provide access to LakePointe.
"It's under construction right now," said Covington City Manager Regan Bolli. "It will widen and extend 204th [Avenue] to go down into that development and connect to Highway 18, and once that's done, then that commercial development and residential development will start."
