Nissan Dealership Serving Kent, WA
SR-167 runs south out of the Kent Valley and drops you at 101 Valley Ave NW in Puyallup, about 17 miles later. Bill Korum's Puyallup Nissan has been on that corner since 1975, selling and servicing the whole Nissan lineup.

What Kent Buyers Ask For, In Order
Kent is a working valley with a residential hill on top of it, and those two halves want different cars. This is the order the questions actually arrive in.
1
Something That Works Out of a Loading Yard
The Kent Valley is one of the largest warehouse and distribution corridors on the West Coast, with aerospace and space companies sitting alongside the freight yards. That work needs a bed and a tow rating, and it needs a truck narrow enough to turn inside a dock apron. The Frontier runs 310 horsepower from a 3.8-liter V6 through a nine-speed automatic, in a midsize body rather than a full-size one.
2
Something Cheap to Run Up and Down 167
Anyone commuting between East Hill and the valley floor, or north toward Renton and Bellevue, is doing the same miles every single day. That is where fuel economy stops being a spec and starts being a monthly number. The Sentra is rated up to 38 mpg on the highway, which is the argument in one figure.
3
Something With All-Wheel Drive for the Hill
East Hill gets the weather the valley floor does not. When Kent has rain, the hill has ice on the shaded grades. The Rogue offers all-wheel drive, and the Kicks offers it too in a smaller and cheaper package, which surprises people who assume the smallest crossover has to be front-wheel drive.
4
Something With Three Rows That Still Parks
Kent households doing school runs and youth sports want the third row without the full-size footprint. The Pathfinder covers that. If the third row is never going to get used, the Murano gives the same two rows more room per seat.
5
Something Electric, If Charging Is Sorted
Kent commutes are short and the valley is flat, which is close to ideal for the LEAF. The deciding question is never range. It is whether you can plug in where you park overnight. Answer that one honestly and the rest of the decision gets easy.
Why Kent Drivers Come South on SR-167
Six honest reasons. If none of them apply to you, buy closer to home and we will still service the car.
Fifty Years, One Address
The store opened at 101 Valley Ave NW in 1975 and has stayed there under the same family. When you buy a car you are also picking who fixes it for the next decade. That is easier to judge on a fifty-year record than a two-year one.
Trims Side by Side, Same Visit
A valley-floor lot has the room to keep several trims of one model in stock at once. Sitting in two of them back to back settles arguments that no amount of online comparison will.
Business and Fleet Conversations Welcome
Plenty of Kent Valley operations need two or three matched units rather than one retail car. Say so when you call and the conversation starts in the right place instead of in an inventory filter.
Certified Nissan Service
Factory-trained Nissan technicians and genuine Nissan parts, whether or not you bought the car here. Book online at the service scheduler before you leave Kent, or call (253) 444-6740.
167 Points on a Certified Car
Nissan Certified Pre-Owned means a 167-point inspection and documented history. It is a narrower pool than the used lot overall, because a car has to fall inside Nissan's age and mileage limits to qualify at all.
Financing Started From Kent
The credit application runs online, so the finance conversation can be underway before you get on SR-167. The team works with a range of lenders and credit situations.
New and Pre-Owned Nissans for Kent Buyers
Both lots sit at the same address, so one trip down SR-167 covers new, used and certified.

The Route
Take SR-167 south from Kent through Auburn, Pacific and Sumner. It is about 17 miles to 101 Valley Ave NW in Puyallup, roughly 25 minutes when the Valley Freeway is moving. Late afternoon southbound is the slow window, so come in the morning if you can.

Questions From Kent Shoppers
Including the one about the address, which we get more often than we should.
How far is Bill Korum's Puyallup Nissan from Kent, WA?
About 17 miles. SR-167 runs straight down the valley from Kent through Auburn, Pacific and Sumner into Puyallup. Off peak it is roughly 25 minutes. Between 3 p.m. and 6 p.m. the Valley Freeway backs up around Sumner, so add time or come earlier.
What is the exact address, and is the dealership on South Meridian?
The address is 101 Valley Ave NW, Puyallup, WA 98371. The dealership is on the valley floor, not on South Meridian. If you have seen a South Meridian address for this store anywhere, it is wrong. Put 101 Valley Ave NW into your navigation and you will land at the right lot.
Is it worth driving south from Kent instead of buying closer to home?
That depends on what you are shopping for. If you know the exact trim you want and it is in stock nearby, buy it nearby. Kent buyers make the SR-167 run when they want to compare several trims of the same model in one visit, or when they want the same store to sell and service the car for the next ten years. Bill Korum's has been at the same address since 1975.
Which Nissan makes the most sense for a Kent Valley job?
For trades and anyone hauling gear in and out of the valley's warehouse district, the Frontier. It runs a 310-horsepower 3.8-liter V6 and a nine-speed automatic, and it stays narrow enough to work in a loading yard. For a straight commute in from East Hill, the Rogue or the Sentra do the job on a lot less fuel.
Do you sell to Kent Valley businesses and small fleets?
Yes. Call the sales line at (253) 848-4507 and say up front that it is a business purchase, because the conversation is different from a retail one. Multiple units, matched specs and timing all get handled better on the phone than through an inventory search.
Can I start financing from Kent before I drive down?
Yes. The credit application runs online, so you can fill it out from home in Kent and arrive with the finance conversation already started. The team works with a range of lenders and credit situations, including buyers who are rebuilding.
Do you service Nissans for Kent owners who bought elsewhere?
Yes. Where you bought the car does not change what the service department will do with it. Factory-trained Nissan technicians, genuine Nissan parts, and online booking so you can set the appointment before you leave Kent. The service line is (253) 444-6740.
What is the traffic like on SR-167 and when should I come?
SR-167 is the Kent Valley's only real north to south artery, and it carries the freight traffic for every distribution centre along it. Mid morning and early afternoon are clear. Late afternoon southbound is the slow window. A Saturday morning run from Kent is usually the fastest trip of the week.
Is an electric Nissan practical for a Kent commute?
For most Kent commutes, yes. The distances inside the valley are short, and the LEAF was built for exactly this pattern of driving. The question that actually decides it is whether you can charge where you park overnight. Answer that first, then come and drive one.
Are there pages for other cities near Kent?
Yes. Auburn sits between Kent and Puyallup on the same SR-167 corridor and has its own page, and there is a separate page for Tacoma buyers coming east on WA-512.
Fuel economy figures are EPA estimates and your actual mileage will vary. Look up any two Nissans side by side at fueleconomy.gov.
