Private Events tukwila.greencitypartnerships.org/…nt/415
Are you looking for a new opportunity for a community group, school group, or business? Want to do some team building while making an impact? Green Tukwila offers one-time, private volunteer events for groups (over 10)in our restoration sites. If interested in an event or your group stewarding a park, reach out to olena.perry@TukwilaWA.gov
The Green Tukwila Partnership
The City of Tukwila joined the Green Cities Partnership, a collaboration of Puget Sound cities working to steward natural open spaces in 2017. Tukwila’s program is called the Green Tukwila Partnership. Together with Forterra, EarthCorps, Duwamish Alive Coalition, Partner in Employment, the Service Board, Dirt Corps, King County Parks, and the Tukwila community, Green Tukwila Partnership will care for public parks and natural open spaces across the city. Over the next 20 years, the partnership will work to restore and maintain 138 acres of Tukwila’s urban forest.
Dig into Restoration Work Parties
What can I expect at a work party? Work parties are fun, family-friendly, community-focused events in public parks or open spaces. Each work party will have the goal of removing invasive plants, planting native plants, or mulching. No experience is necessary. Training and tools will be provided at the site; all identities are welcome. Events are rain or shine; any cancelations will be emailed by the morning of the event by 8:00 am.
Why is this work important? Healthy parks and natural open spaces are a gift to our city and everyone. They provide places where people can connect with nature, see wildlife, and explore the beautiful Pacific Northwest. They also clean the air and waterways, buffer noise, provide habitat for local wildlife, and absorb carbon to fight against climate change. These valuable places can’t take care of themselves in an urban environment; they need our help to ensure we have a healthy and green Tukwila today, tomorrow, and into the future.
Tukwila’s Land Acknowledgement: The City of Tukwila is located on the ancestral lands of the Coast Salish people. We acknowledge their continuing connections to land, waters and culture. We pay our respects to their elder’s past, present and emerging.

For the first time, we’re presenting an opportunity for community members to decide how the City invests funds that are set aside for small, visible improvements.

To ensure a fair and inclusive process, residents representing diverse backgrounds and different neighborhoods are serving on the steering committee.
Beginning October 1, you can complete the Idea Submission Form to describe your idea. Why is it important? What problem do you hope to solve? Who does your idea benefit?

✔️ For more information and to complete the survey, visit tinyurl.com/3yae22vm.
