Tukwila Comprehensive Plan 2024-2044 – Adopted!

 

After several years of analysis, community input, Planning Commission and City Council review, and four total Public Hearings, the 2024-2044 Comprehensive Plan was adopted on December 16, 2024.


The 2024 Plan is based on the 2015 Comprehensive Plan.  The changes in the 2024 include updates to old information, new state and regional policy guidance the City must adopt, as well as new policies and approaches that the City wishes to include.

The amended 2024 Plan is listed below.  These include: the individual elements, including their goals and policies and the background reports for each element, where necessary.  The Plan also provides Implementation Strategies for the individual policies to identify the actions needed by the City and community to bring the Plan into a reality (the final list of Strategies will be available in in early 2025).  Plan segments adopted also include the Plan Introduction.

The adopted Plan is available here.  In early 2025, the Plan will be put into final format (including the standard elements of Title Page, Acknowledgments, Table of Contents, etc.).  When complete, that version will replace the Plan below, although its content will be the same.
