The Tukwila Tree and Environment Advisory Committee has been appointed to assist the City as it begins its review of these policies. The committee is made up of two business representatives, two residents, a landscaping professional, a Backyard Wildlife organization member, and a member of the City Council, Planning Commission and Parks Commission. The Advisory Committee will meet monthly. Beginning in March, 2013, the Committee will meet on the second Wednesday of the month, from 5:30 — 7:30 p.m. The meetings will be held in Conference Room 2, located in the 6300 Building, next to City Hall. The address is 6300 Southcenter Boulevard, Tukwila, WA, 98188. A mailing list is being created to allow the City to get the word out about upcoming revisions to the Comprehensive Plan and ordinances that address environmental and tree issues, such as when and where trees can be removed, tree protection during development, landscaping requirements for development, restoring the forests in our parks, and proper tree care. If you have an interest in the natural environment and trees, whether you own a business or live or work in Tukwila, and wish to have input on these issues, send an email to Trees@TukwilaWa.Gov or call 206 -431 -3661.
