KING CITY — King City’s Beautification Week has arrived, and residents and businesses are urged to pick a project to beautify the town.
Beautification Week 2025 will run from June 20-29 under the sponsorship of the King City Chamber of Commerce and Agriculture in partnership with WM (Waste Management), Salinas Valley Recycles, City of King and King City in Bloom.
“As in the past 33 years, the concept for Beautification Week is to ask every person who lives and works here to do one thing to improve the appearance of their property,” organizers said.
