ESSENTIAL SERVICES AND CITY OPERATIONS
Essential Services & City Operations
Beginning Monday, April 4, 2022, City Hall, the Permit Center, and Human Services will be open Mondays and
Wednesdays from 8:30 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. Tukwila Municipal Court will be open Monday through Friday from
9:30 to 4:00. The Police Department will retain its hours of being open from 8:30 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. for
fingerprinting, concealed pistol licenses and other services. All services remain available remotely.
The state and county mask mandate ended March 12, 2022. Mask wearing is a personal choice for both
staff and visitors.
* Human Services
In the month of May, HS staff has partnered with 16 households (27 ind.) with a total of $36,209.00 in financial
assistance. $34,074.52 in rent assistance, $2,134.48 in utility assistance.
During the last three weeks, the least amount of back owing rent was $725 the highest amount of back
owing rent was $10,000. Five households are at varying stages of the intake process.
The HS team has begun allocating the ARPA rent/utility assistance funds to qualifying, low-income
households that meet program guidelines. Having the ARPA funds allows us to increase the ceiling on the
maximum amount owed in back rent (from $4,000 to $8,000 on a case-by-case basis) as well as increase the
lifetime maximum of assistance (from $2,400 to $5,000) with documentation of wage loss due COVID.

* Business Recovery
Business Health
Washington's economy continues to be fully open, and all businesses and public spaces can
operate at full capacity.
In King County cases have risen significantly since a more recent low in mid-March. For the week
ending May 28, the seven-day average of daily new COVID cases was over 6 times higher
compared to mid-March. Since many people will use home test kits instead of PCR tests, the
number of cases is likely to be significantly under -reported. Fortunately, the rate of spread is still
slower than the peak in early January. Also, the seven-day average of hospitalizations and deaths
are much below their January and February peaks.
Business Assistance
The State's Small Business Flex Fund continues to offer low interest loans to small businesses. Staff is
participating in the Port of Seattle's creation of a Business Navigators Network that will help small
businesses find resources like technical assistance and funding. The State plans to issue another
Working Washington grant program in 2022. In 2022 City staff will explore options to use the
$190,000 of ARPA funds that Council designated for small business support.

* COVID-19 Testing
The COVID testing site at Church by the Side of the Road has transitioned from being run by Seattle
King County Public Health to Altium Lab, which is the company that has been processing the test
kits. They opened Friday, June 2, 2022 and will operate the same hours, Monday - Saturday from
9:30 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. It will be as smaller operation, though the same site manager and many of
the staff will remain the same. Tukwila Fire will receive daily information on the testing. Altium will
also operate the site in Federal Way by the end of the month.
Seattle King County Public Health ceased operations on May 27, 2022, so there are no tests to report
over the past week.
