Tukwila Justice Center
receives Civic Design Award
from the
AIA Washington Council
The DLR Group has won a 2021 Civic Design
Citation Award from the AIA Washington
Council for the construction of the Tukwila
Justice Center! The project was chosen for the
way the building integrates and prioritizes the
needs of the community while also creating a
safe and secure working environment for our
public safety professionals.
The Civic Design Awards celebrates the best
examples of what can be realized when
architects and civic clients work together to
achieve
quality design. AIA Washington Council showcases
the clients and the architects who have
demonstrated an appreciation for the excellent
work done by AIA Members in the Washington
Council. These projects represent the finest
standards in innovation, sustainability, building
performance, and overall integration with the
client and surrounding community.

Automated Photo Enforcement Program -
School Zone Speed Cameras
Tukwila Slows in
School Zones
Every year, Tukwila officers respond to multiple avoidable collisions
caused by speeding in our city. A pedestrian hit at 20mph has a 90 percent
chance of survival which falls to 50 percent at 30mph and 10 percent
survival rate at 40mph. To keep our youth safe, the City of Tukwila is
implementing an Automated School Zone Speed Enforcement Program.
Photo enforcement of the school zone speed limit is just one approach to
addressing this problem on Tukwila streets and to keep our students and
school staff members safe. Driving at or below 20 MPH gives people
driving and children walking more time to see each other and react. The
goal is to improve safety for everyone.
In September of 2021, the City of Tukwila will begin using fixed cameras
to enforce the 20 MPH school zone speed limit at Showalter Middle School
and Foster High School. Warnings will be issued for the month of
September as drivers get use to the new cameras. Beginning October 1,
2021, warnings will stop and citations will be issued.
The speed cameras only operate when the school zone flashing beacons
are in operation during normal school hours in which students and staff
will be coming and going from the area. If the flashing beacon is
activated, then the cameras are operating.
