The City of Tukwila would like to hear from you regarding the 2021-2022 Budget
The City of Tukwila is facing a budget shortfall due to a reduction of revenues associated with the coronavirus pandemic. These reduced revenues affect the City's general fund, which pays for most of the City services. We would like to hear from our community on what services to continue to fund and what services should be reduced.
To learn more about the budget process including City Council meetings and next steps, email [email protected] or call 206-491-2297.
The Budget Survey will close at 5:00 p.m. on October 23, 2020.

Tukwila residents, it's Salmon SEEson! Adult salmon are currently swimming upstream to reach their spawning grounds, after spending a few years out in the ocean. Look for returning salmon at self-guided sites along the Duwamish River in Tukwila from September through November. Visit safely with members of your household, making sure to recreate responsibly.
