City of Tukwila News

Our House is YOUR House! The City of Tukwila invites you to an OPEN HOUSE – come see where public safety lives!

And, in a major event like an earthquake, these seismically unsafe buildings could prevent emergency teams from providing immediate aid.


Get Involved with the 2017/2018 Budget!
