Wilson’s by High Watch was founded with a purpose beyond serving exceptional food, coffee, and baked goods. It was created to provide meaningful opportunities for people in recovery while deepening the connection between High Watch and the Kent community.

Since 1939, High Watch Recovery Center has helped individuals build lives grounded in dignity, purpose, connection, and lasting recovery. Wilson’s carries that mission into downtown Kent through a supportive workplace where people can gain practical experience, rebuild confidence, develop leadership skills, and grow alongside mentors and colleagues who understand the recovery journey.

Meaningful employment can play an important role in rebuilding a life. At Wilson’s, team members are encouraged to learn, contribute, accept responsibility, and discover their strengths. The goal is not simply to provide a job, but to create an environment where individuals can move forward, build independence, and recognize their own potential.
