Great job! As an employee and a resident of Tukwila, I cannot fully express my appreciation for this action. These properties have been a problem for the area for as long as I have lived here (1975). This is such a positive step for the entire community. Well - done and a big THANK YOU. It's going to make a HUGE difference. Very proud of Tukwila today! Just wanted to add my congratulations to the Department and all the officers involved in today's police action. So many of us in the community are absolutely thrilled at the actions that have been taken to shut down the sources of so much crime. Kudos to all! I too took a detour to work today just to drive by the motels. S000 good to see this happen!!! I'm excited for the positive changes! :) Congratulations and "THANK YOU" to the City for not just having "lip service" about their sincerity of taking back our community and to all agencies who teamed up to make this happen. - Thank you for your support. A thank you doesn't seem enough but, as are many of the residents of Tukwila, we are eternally grateful for the work you all do and for this huge dent made in the crime of our city. That area has been a disgusting, crime - ridden mess for at least 30 years. Thank goodness for you all and our Mayor who have obviously taken it seriously!! I hope they continue to clean up the highway, even beyond Tukwila.
