Our Coffee With a Cop on March 26th is an opportunity for our businesses to meet Detective Mosley, get your questions answered about ORC in our city and learn what we are doing to deter and combat it.

Organized Retail Crime (ORC) is more than shoplifting — it’s coordinated criminal activity that impacts businesses, employees, and our entire community.

The City values your input and asks that you review the DRAFT 2026 Surface Water Management Plan (https://www.tukwilawa.gov/SWMP2026) and provide your comments and suggestions to SWMP@TukwilaWA.gov by , .
