City of Tukwila Revenue and Competitors

Tukwila lies in the heart of the Puget Sound region, sitting 12 miles south of downtown Seattle, 17 miles north of downtown Tacoma, just east of Seattle-Tacoma International Airport, and at the crossroads of two major interstate highways, I-5 and I-405. Tukwila’s residential community encompasses single- and multi-family residences, and embodies a diverse population that includes significant immigrant and refugee communities. Its central location makes Tukwila an ideal site for approximately 2,000 businesses. In the past 100 years, Tukwila has grown into a regional economic powerhouse with heavy and light manufacturing, and service-oriented companies, as well as one of the Northwest’s largest concentration of retail businesses. Over 150,000 people come to Tukwila every day for employment, shopping, dining and entertainment opportunities. The City of Tukwila has over 330 employees engaged in a wide-variety of positions, from maintaining street and sewer infrastructure, to land use planning, to providing excellent customer service in our Municipal Court.
