Good luck, Kent is a shit hole. Outdoor shooting closest would be Renton Fish and Game, indoor shooting Champions or WAY better head north to West Coast Armory. Want to shoot out in the woods, will need to drive 1-1.5 hour out of the city into national forest land near Mt Rainier.

Kent has some OK spots to the east, but slightly to the south is Auburn. If you head towards the southeastern side of Auburn, the Lakeland Hills area, which is a pretty safe and very community minded WITHOUT that Commie/Hippie freaky Seattle feel!! BTW, I was born and raised in Seattle and know all about the oddities relating to that city. ANYWAY!! Women walk/run alone into the evening hours and kids play throughout the Lakeland Hills area, which you don't see in the Seattle/Renton/Kent area, which gives the area an almost normal small town feel. Yes, this area is slightly more expensive than the rest of Auburn, but well worth the extra couple of hundred dollars a month.
I work in Renton, but right on the border with Tukwila. It takes me about 25/30 minutes to drive the 17 miles on an average day with moderate traffic.
Several apartments complexes in the Lakeland Hills area are currently leasing.
As for shooting, Champions in Kent is OK for handguns, but West Coast Armory is a far better range, but about 40-45mins northeast from Auburn... The only issue with West Coast Armory is that they have too much cool sh!t on display!!
Good luck!!
