We'd like your feedback on the
upcoming 2023/23 Biennial Budget
Mayor Ekberg and the City Council are still looking for community
feedback on the City’s upcoming 2023/2024 biennial budget. We are
providing an opportunity for you – Tukwila’s residents, businesses and
other stakeholders – to express your priorities on how the budget is spent.
We have developed a short video to provide information on the projected
budget for 2023 and 2024. You can find the video and several interactive
ways to engage in this year’s biennial budget process at our
website: TukwilaWa.gov/budgetoutreach.
Here are some details on how you can get involved:
• Take a quick survey to give us your top service priorities and
whether you think City services should be reduced or new
revenues raised to deal with the projected budget shortfall.
• You can take a deeper dive into the budgeting process using
the new tool Balancing Act, where you will be able to provide
detailed feedback on how we should balance the
budget: TukwilaWA.gov/BYB
• Visit with City staff at upcoming community events on July 27
to specifically talk budget (or whatever else is on your mind):
• Tukwila Village Farmers Market (4pm – 7pm) |
Wednesday, July 27. Tukwila Sullivan Center (14350
Tukwila International Blvd, Tukwila, WA 98168)
• See You in the Park Series - July 27: Tukwila
Community Center (9pm to 11pm), 12424 42nd Ave S,
Tukwila, WA 98168
Have other budget-related questions or suggestions? Feel free to call (206)
433-1838 or email Budget@TukwilaWa.gov.
Plan a hiking adventure this
Summer with Trailhead Direct
King County’s Trailhead Direct transit service has returned this summer
with King County Metro and King County Parks focusing the transit -to
trails service on its most popular route with stops at trailheads near
Mount Si, Mount Teneriffe, and Little Si.
Trailhead Direct makes some of Washington's most popular hikes more
accessible to everyone and keeps our trailhead parking lots a little less
crowded. The service has become a popular, eco-friendly way to get out
of the city and explore the trails of King County. Since launching,
passengers have used Trailhead Direct for over 33,000 hikes, including
5,000 hikes in 2021.
Riders can take the bus, Sound Transit Link light rail, or bike to get to the
Sound Transit Capitol Hill Link station, where Trailhead Direct coaches
will depart every 30 minutes on weekends. Speak a language other than
English? Join Trailhead Direct in August & September for group hikes with
trip leaders & other folks who speak Mandarin, Cantonese, Vietnamese, &
Spanish (See info below).
