___________________________________________________________________________________

City of Tukwila staff is exploring the development of this project, and we’re looking for the community’s input on where to locate this facility. Holding more that 50 meetings
so far, the project team has engaged with the community throughout 2021, to hear their ideas about a center’s value, desired functions, look & feel, and more.

There are 2 potential sites: former Star Nursery site and partial Bartell pad
• Which of the two sites is your favorite?
• Why did you choose one site over the other?
• What else would you like to tell us about locating the Teen & Senior Center?
After reviewing the input and information about locating a center, the City Council will move forward with making decisions in early 2022.

initiative are called “Green Tukwila.” Together with Forterra, EarthCorps, Duwamish Alive Coalition, Dirt Corps, King County Parks, and the Tukwila community, Green Tukwila will care for public parks and natural open spaces across the city. Throughout the next 20 years, the partnership will work to restore and maintain 138 acres of Tukwila’s urban forest.

GET INVOLVED TODAY!
To do this great work we need everyone’s help. Join friends, neighbors, and bring your families outside to learn about trees, shrubs, invasive plants, how to use tools, and much more.
