The Green Tukwila Partnership

Since 2017, the City of Tukwila has been part of the Green Cities Partnership—working with local organizations and community members to care for natural open spaces. Tukwila’s own effort, the Green Tukwila Partnership, is supported by Forterra, EarthCorps, Duwamish Alive Coalition, Partner in Employment, the Service Board, Dirt Corps, King County Parks, and dedicated volunteers.

Together, we’re restoring 138 acres of urban forest over the next 20 years—creating healthier parks for all.

Join a Restoration Work Party

What to Expect:
Work parties are fun, hands-on events for all ages. Activities include removing invasive plants, planting natives, and mulching. No experience needed—training and tools are provided. Everyone is welcome!

Why It Matters:
Healthy green spaces improve air and water quality, support wildlife, and help fight climate change. With your help, we can keep Tukwila’s parks thriving—now and for future generations.

Note: Events happen rain or shine. If there’s a cancellation, you’ll be notified by 8:00 AM on event day.
