December 15, 2025: Desimone Levee Breach Information. Evacuation Order in Effect

Avoid West Valley Highway. Tukwila is closing West Valley Hwy southbound at 180th. Kent is closing northbound at 212th. The Desimone Levee has breached. This is a GO NOW evacuation for people in parts of Kent, Tukwila, and Renton. In Tukwila the GO NOW is only for that part of the City that is east of the Green River, south of S. 180th Street and west of West Valley Hwy.

The City or King County has not issued an evacuation for any areas west of the Green River in Tukwila. However, the situation could change and residents and business should be READY in case an evacuation order needs to be issued. More info at https://kcemergency.com

The City is urging residents and businesses in the Southcenter District, West Valley Hwy area, and the eastside of Interurban Ave South (north of I-405 and the north end of Foster Golf Course) to “GET SET” for possible evacuation. More information here

Crystal Springs Work Party

April 28, 2019 @ 9:00 am - 12:00 pm


 

Crystal Springs Parks is a great community resource, but this neighborhood park has been overrun by aggressive weeds, which threaten the health of Tukwila’s urban forest. Join community members and neighbors to restore this park to healthy forest! We will be removing weeds like English Ivy and Himalayan Blackberry that smother the native plants and trees that make up a healthy Pacific Northwest ecosystem.

Everyone can help! All ages are welcome and no experience is necessary. We provide all of the tools and training needed.  So bring along your friends and family and get your hands dirty!

If you would like to RSVP for this event, email Ali at  aerskine@forterra.org!

For November 9 event, email volunteer@forterra.org to RSVP.

 

Where:  Crystal Springs Park (15832 51st Ave S, Tukwila, WA 98188)

What to Bring:  Please bring a reusable water bottle wear sturdy close-toed shoes and weather appropriate layers that you don’t mind getting dirty- we will work rain or shine!

If you are a volunteer under 18 and attending the event without a parent or guardian, please  print and bring this waiver signed by a parent or guardian.
