City of Tukwila E-Hazelnut Newsletter - February 2022

The City of Tukwila has

begun the transition back to

in-person services again

Most City facilities, including City Hall, and the permit center were closed to the public through the month of February due to the ongoing spread of the omicron variant of COVID-19. Beginning March 1, 2022 we will revert to providing the same level of in-person services as we did pre-omicron variant. The following are the current hours for City facilities starting March 1, 2022:

City Hall – Mondays & Wednesdays, 8:30 a.m. to 12:00 p.m.

Permit Center – Mondays & Wednesdays, 8:30 a.m. to 12:00 p.m.

Human Services – Mondays & Wednesdays, 8:30 a.m. to 12:00 p.m.

Tukwila Community Center – Mondays through Thursdays 6:30 a.m. to 7:30 p.m., Fridays 6:30 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. and Saturdays 7:30 a.m. to 11:30 a.m.

Municipal Court – Mondays & Wednesdays, 1:00 p.m. to 4:00 p.m.

Police Department – 24 hours a day, every day – use Justice Center south entrance

All City services still remain accessible virtually during normal business hours. You can also call (206) 433-1800 to be directed to the correct department via phone. As a reminder, the Police Department and Municipal Court have moved from the City Hall campus to the new Tukwila Justice Center at 15005 Tukwila International Boulevard.
