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

Green Tukwila Day & Work Party

2019 Green Tukwila Day, Live Music, Plantings and More!

Description

Help us celebrate our 3rd  annual Green Tukwila Day! The Green Tukwila Partnership works to restore Tukwila’s parks and urban forests for future generations – and we need your help! Volunteers will prepare Tukwila Park for the fall planting season by removing Himalayan blackberry and English ivy. All community members are welcome, and no experience is necessary! The event is family friendly and open to all ages. Come see what a difference a committed group of volunteers can make in your community!

See link to sign-up:   https://volunteer.uwkc.org/need/detail/?need_id=415333

What to bring:  

Come dressed for the weather (rain or shine) in clothes you don’t mind getting dirty. Wear sturdy closed-toe shoes (rubber boots, hiking/tennis shoes), long sleeves, long pants, warm layers and bring a rain jacket. We’ll have tools and gloves for you to use! Help reduce waste by bringing your own refillable water bottle if you have one.

All ages are welcome, but we encourage all volunteers under the age of 15 to be accompanied by an adult. If you are a volunteer under 18 and attending the event without a parent or guardian, we will need to have a Youth Waiver Form.

Green Tukwila will email the week before with youth waiver forms, directions and information for the event.
