Tukwila Tree Giveaway

Tukwila residents can receive 1–2 free trees through the annual Tree Giveaway, a program aimed at growing our urban forest. Tukwila has been a Tree City USA for 20+ years — thank you for helping grow our urban tree canopy!

How to get free trees

1. Choose the right tree for the right place.
   • Browse the tree options in the order form and verify there is adequate space for the tree to mature.

   • Trees must be planted on private property within Tukwila city limits.
2. Complete the online application by September 15.
   • Species are available first come, first served — order early for best selection.
   • You’ll receive an order confirmation with your pickup window in late September.
3. Pick up your tree(s) at Hazelnut Park on Saturday, October 10.
   • Last name A–K: 10 a.m.–noon  |  Last name L–Z: noon–2 p.m.
   • Staff will be on site to walk you through planting and care.
   • You are responsible for transporting your tree home. Trees will be approximately 3–7 feet tall.
