ISSUE
Update on the launch of ExperienceTukwila.com.
BACKGROUND
Last year the City launched the Experience Tukwila digital marketing campaign. The City
created new social media pages on Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, and Linkedln to promote the
City for tourism and general economic development. Experience Tukwila is focused
geographically on people within 50 miles of the City. The City uses the "Seattle Southside"
brand in partnerships with the cities of Des Moines and SeaTac to promote the City to people
outside 50 miles.
In addition to new social media channels, the City also allocated lodging tax funds to create a
new website to be used for Experience Tukwila. Staff will provide an overview of the website to
the committee at the meeting.
