Comprehensive Plan

What is the Comprehensive Plan?

Tukwila’s Comprehensive Plan is a long-term blueprint that reflects the community’s values and priorities to guide growth and development over 20 years. It anticipates change and provides guidance for future legislative and administrative actions.

The 2024 Comprehensive Plan ordinance was adopted by the City Council in December 2024.  A final formatted version of the Comprehensive Plan will be available soon.

The Plan’s core values are to provide:

• Great neighborhoods
• A vibrant Tukwila International Boulevard District
• Good jobs along East Marginal Way
• A thriving Southcenter/Urban Center

It covers housing, transportation, economic development, capital facilities, utilities, the natural environment, and land uses across the city’s subareas.

The previous 2015 version remains available for review.

Plan Amendments

Applications for Comprehensive Plan amendments are accepted by 5:00 p.m. on the first Monday of August each year and considered with the following year’s Annual Review Docket. See the Tukwila Municipal Code for details.
