Tukwila Parks and Recreation is the recipient of a KaBOOM!
TukTV
playground grant, funded by Foresters Financial. A new
playground will be installed at Cascade View Community Park
on Saturday, July 8. Cascade View is one of Tukwila's most
frequented and played-in parks - children and adults alike
gather there to socialize, play games, and enjoy the park's
amenities. Play is central to a child's ability to grow into a
productive adult. Let's ensure kids get the balance of play
they need to thrive!
To make this happen, we are working to secure 160
volunteers to help with the build and installation of the
playground. Are you available on July 8? Would you like to
help make the park a better place for kids to play? All you
Tukwila Elected Officials
need is a go-getter attitude and a smile - no playground
building experience is necessary. We are also seeking

Respect the ban!
Remember, all fireworks are illegal in the City of
Tukwila. Persons caught lighting fireworks will be issued
citations, and this year the Tukwila Police and Fire
Departments will engage in enhanced enforcement leading up
to and on July 4. Fireworks lead directly to injuries and fires,
please do your part and refrain from using them. To report
illegal fireworks, dial 911.
You are encouraged, however, to join your neighbors and
friends at the FREE Family 4th at the Fort, hosted by the City
of Tukwila every year at Fort Dent Park. The park opens at
9:00 a.m. with festivities beginning at 4:00 p.m. The amazing
firework show starts at 10:00 p.m. Bring the family and come
down Fort Dent and enjoy the fun. We hope to see you there!
