INFORMATIONAL MEMORANDUM
TO: Planning and Community Development
FROM: Brandon Miles, Business Relations Manager
CC: Mayor Ekberg
DATE: November 14, 2022
SUBJECT: Lodging Tax Funding Requests
ISSUE
Review of lodging tax funding requests from the City of Tukwila, Office of Economic
Development for Experience Tukwila, the City of Tukwila Operations, and to support the Seattle
Seawolves.
BACKGROUND
The City collects a 1% lodging tax on certain qualifying overnight stays in paid accommodations
(hotels/motels/Airbnb) in the City. State law limits the use of these funds to tourism promotion'.
There is currently just over $1 million in lodging tax funds available for use.
The City's Lodging Tax Advisory Committee (LTAC) reviews all requests for use of lodging tax
funds. LTAC then forwards a list of recommended applications to the City Council for its review
and consideration. If LTAC does not recommend an application be funded, that application is
not forwarded to the City Council. The City Council may approve or deny any of the applications
recommended by the LTAC. The City Council may also approve an application and increase or
decrease the dollar amount awarded2.
The City accepts applications on a rolling basis, with the LTAC reviewing requests monthly.
Pending Applications
At its October 28, 2022 meeting, the LTAC recommended approval of three funding request by
the Office of Economic Development for the City of Tukwila.
1 RCW 67.28.080 (6) defines "tourism promotion" as "...activities, operations, and expenditures designed to
increase tourism, including but not limited to advertising, publicizing, or otherwise distributing information for the
purpose of attracting and welcoming tourists; developing strategies to expand tourism; operating tourism
promotion agencies; and funding the marketing of or the operation of special events and festivals designed to
attract tourists."
2 On August 17, 2016, the Washington State Attorney General's Office issued an informal opinion regarding
whether a municipality could change the dollar amounts recommended by the local lodging tax advisory
committee. Specifically, the informal opinion states:
"When awarding lodging tax revenues pursuant to RCW 67.28.1816(2)(b)(ii), a municipality may award amounts
different from the local lodging tax advisory committee's recommended amounts, but only after satisfying the
procedural requirements of RCW 67.28.1817(2), according to which the municipality must submit its proposed
change to the advisory committee for review and comment at least forty-five days before final action on the
proposal."

INFORMATIONAL MEMO
Page 2
1. City of Tukwila, Experience Tukwila, ($190,000)
In 2020 the City of Tukwila launched the Experience Tukwila digital initiative. The initiative
includes a dedicated website ExperienceTukwlia.com and social media. The goal is to promote
the City of Tukwila to consumers primarily within 50 miles of the City, including hotel guests who
are already in the area. The City is seeking funding to continue contractor services to run the
day-to-day operations of Experience Tukwila and to expand content development.
Experience Tukwila was in full operation by spring of 2021, with the website
ExperienceTukwila.com going live. Experience Tukwila has provided the City and the Tukwila
community a much needed marketing tool to promote the City. Through Experience Tukwila the
City has been able to:
1. Promote special events, such as Juneteenth, on a website dedicated to promoting
the City versus using the City's government website.
2. The ability to put positive social media stories out when people look up Tukwila.
3. Social media interactions with local media, specifically sports reporters.
The City contracts with a marketing agency to manage the day-to-day operations of Experience
Tukwila, maintain the website, strategy development, project management, and content
creation. The current firm is True Blue Strategies and they have provided great, timely work to
build out the Experience Tukwila brand.
The 2023 funding request will provide the following:
1. Monthly operations of Experience Tukwila, including social media content creation,
website maintenance, and project management.
2. One-time items, including website refresh, photo shoot, video creation, and a refresh of
the email template.
3. Funding to hire an intern in the summer to assist with social media production and
promotion.
LTAC Recommendation on Application: Do Fund
Staff Recommendation on Application: Do Fund.
2. City of Tukwila, 2022 Operations (Two -Year) ($338,048)
This application is a two-year funding request to support the overall operations of the City's
tourism program and includes funding for staffing3, operational activities, funding for small
sponsorships, professional services, and reimbursement to the general fund for the indirect cost
allocation.
LTAC Recommendation on Application: Do Fund
Staff Recommendation on Application: Do Fund.
3 No additional staffing is proposed, lodging tax funds supports .5 FTE of an existing employee in the Office of
Economic Development.

3. City of Tukwila, 2022 Seawolves Partnership (Two -Year) ($150,000)
The City of Tukwila is requesting lodging tax funds to partner with the Seattle Seawolves for the
team's 2023 and 2024 seasons. The Seawolves are a professional rugby team in Major League
Rugby (MLR). The team trains in Tukwila and plays all its home games at Starfire Sports. The
Seawolves are the most successful and dominate team in MLR rugby, having played in three
championships games and winning two of them. Rugby as a hold is growing in the United
States, with the US set to host the World Cup in 2031 for men's and 2033 for women's.
The City provided $40,000 in funding in 2022. Staff is requesting a total of $150,000 ($75,000
per year) through 2024 to execute a sponsorship agreement with the Seawolves. Prior to the
pandemic the Seawolves were averaging 4,000 attendees per home match. Towards the end of
2022 the team started to see a return to its significant fan base.
The Seawolves have a very strong digital following and a growing brand identity in the Seattle
metro region. Through Experience Tukwila digital accounts, the City has done significant
campaigns and posts to highlight the team, rugby, and the City. Moving forward staff wants to
start planting the flag that Tukwila is "Rugby City USA."
In 2023 and 2024 the City would partner with the Seawolves on initiatives that focus on four
distinct areas:
1. Drive Head in beds. Tukwila hotels will be the official hotel for away teams for the 2022
and 2023 seasons.
2. Drive More Traffic to Area Businesses. As we hopefully emerge from COVID-19 it is
important that we help highlight that our restaurants and retailers are open in order to
get our market share back. In person attendance at game will be limited due to
restrictions in place for COVID-
19. The Seawolves have been very supportive of promoting the City via its own social
media channels.
3. Building the Tukwila Brand. The Seawolves have a strong and growing brand in the
Seattle region. Additionally, the Seawolves have a very strong brand following by
millennials and families, part of the City's overall target audience for branding. The
City's internal brand essence is "Accessible Fun." The Seawolves games are easily
"accessible fun." The game are reasonably priced, fun, and safe for families.
4. Rugby Community. The City also has an opportunity to build a rugby brand. Like we
have done for soccer, Tukwila could be known as the epicenter of soccer in the Pacific
NW. Supporting the Seawolves can help attract more rugby matches to the City. In
2021 our relationship with the Seawolves resulted in introductions to the Rugby 7
organizers and the XV Series, both of these activities called Tukwila home for their
matches. We want to work to known as Rugby City USA.
LTAC Recommendation on Application: Do Fund
Staff Recommendation on Application: Do Fund.

1. Describe your tourism -related activity or event.
In 2020 the City of Tukwila launched the Experience Tukwila digital initiative. The initiative includes
a dedicated website, ExperienceTukwila.com and social media. The goal is to promote the City of
Tukwila to consumers, primarily within 50 miles of the City, including hotel guests who are already
in the area. The City is seeking funding to continue to contract with a third party to run the day-to-
day operations of Experience Tukwila and to expand content development.
Experience Tukwila was in full operation in spring of 2021, with the website,
ExperienceTukwila.com going live. Experience Tukwila has provided the City and the Tukwila
community a much needed marketing tool to promote the City. Through Experience Tukwila the
City has been able to:
1. Promote special events, such as the Juneteenth, on a website dedicated to promoting the City
versus using the City's government website.
2. The ability to push positive social media stories out to people about Tukwila, such as the news
that the OL Reign will move their training facility to Starfire Sports.
3. Social media interactions with local media, specifically sports reporters, sports teams and has
started to engage with local influencers.
4. Pushing out videos by the City and third parties to promote the City.
The City contracts with a marketing agency to manage the day-to-day operations of Experience
Tukwila, which includes maintaining the website, strategy development, project management,
special projects and content creation. The current firm is True Blue Strategies and they have
provided great, timely work to build out the Tukwila brand.
The 2023 funding request will provide the following:
1. Monthly operations of Experience Tukwila, including social media content creation, website
maintenance, and project management.
2. One-time items, including a website update, photo shoot, and other special projects.
3. Hiring of a high school or college intern to assist with social media creation. Instagram and
Facebook have begun to prioritize reels over static photo posts. An intern would be a cost-
effective way of generating reels and expanding the City's social media presence to TikTok.
2. If an event, list the event name, date(s), and projected overall attendance.
N/A
3. Is your event/activity/facility focusing on attracting overnight tourists, day tourists, or both?
Page 2 of 8
18
This is a pure branding and marketing initiative. The geographic focus are consumers within 50
miles of the City. This could include household, employees, and overnight guests who are
already in the area. For outside the 50 miles radius the City partners with the cities of SeaTac
and Des Moines through Seattle Southside RTA. Experience Tukwila provides another source of
content for SSRTA, Visit Seattle, and other partners to share on their social media and digital
platforms.
4. Describe why visitors will travel to Tukwila to attend your event/activity/facility.
Tukwila's central location, its transportation connections, and mass transit makes Tukwila a
great and easily accessible destination to get away for a day or an overnight trip. The City is
home to nearly 200 restaurants, the largest mall in the Pacific NW, Starfire Sports, and the
Museum of Flight. The City has had success is bringing people to the City. The goal of
Experience Tukwila is to get people to come more often, stay longer, and realize they are in
Tukwila (versus other cities).
5. Describe the geographic target of the visitors you hope to attract (locally, regionally,
nationally, and/or internationally).
Primary within 50 miles of the City; however, hotel guests throughout the region are part of the
target audience.
6. Describe the prior success of your event/activity/facility in attracting tourists.

media to date is up over 16% compared to 2021 totals. One of the reasons social media engagements
may be down is due to Facebook and Instagram prioritizing reels over static images. Staff has been
doing a limited number of reels and will be releasing a reel created by a influencer in the next couple of
weeks. To address the reel issue, staff is proposing to bring on a high school or college intern to make
reels for the City.
The City has had success in social media posts regarding specific events, such as Juneteenth, the
Seattle Seawolves, and Seattle Chocolate Haunted Factory Tour. Additionally, the City sponsored the
Miss Washington Contest which resulted in the candidates having dinner at Spice Bridge and then
positing Instagram reels and posts about the dinner.
7. If this your first time holding the event/activity/facility provide background on why you think
it will be successful.
In 2020 and 2021 our goal for Experience Tukwila was to get the social media and website up and
running. In 2022 the goal was to improve the operations and get a year of operation on hopefully the
downside of the pandemic. One of goals was to create more authentic content for Experience Tukwila,
which we have done with blog posts about the Seawolves and Sounders and utilizing influencers to
promote Experience Tukwila on third party sites.
Our goals for 2022 include:
1. Building out more authentic content.
2. Creating more reels and videos for social media use.
3. Engaging with more third parties to help promote the City.
8. Describe how you will promote lodging establishments, restaurants, retailers, and
entertainment establishments in the City of Tukwila.
Experience Tukwila promotes the City's various lodging, restaurants, retailers, and entertainment
establishments. ExperienceTukwila.com features pages for each specific category mentioned
above.
9. Is the City able to use your digital and print media for collaborative marketing?
Yes.
10. Describe how you will use the name, "Tukwila" in publications, promotions, and for your
event?
Experience Tukwila is all about Tukwila. The brand is focused on the Tukwila name.

The impressions outlined above are a forecasted amount for 2023. The forecast is built on
the limited historical data we currently have for 2020, 2021, and 2022.
It is important to remember that Experience Tukwila is a pure marketing and branding
effort. Tracking actual hotel stays and visitors spending through such efforts can be difficult
and at best can only show a caution, not causation.
For overall success of Experience Tukwila, we intend on tracking the following metrics.:

available or recommended?
We would likely eliminate the contract with the third party to manage the day-to-day activities of
Experience Tukwila. This would likely reduce our posts and updates of the pages impacting quality of
the media.

1) Describe your tourism -related activity or event.
The City of Tukwila requests funding for 2023 and 2024 for administration of the City's lodging tax
fund, basic small marketing activities, office supplies, limited travel, professional services, small event
support, reimbursement of the City's indirect charge, and labor (half time FTE).
Funds for this application are used for general administration, staff time (half of an FTE), and related
costs incurred by the City in managing its lodging tax program. In the past the funds for this application
were used for the following activities intended to support the entire tourism program.
• Office Supplies;
• Professional Services;
• Small Marketing Activities;
• Small event support;
• Training and Education;
• Membership, Registration, and Subscriptions;
• Parking, Travel, and Meals; and
• Indirect Cost Allocation.
• Small Event Support
In 2020 LTAC and the City Council approved a two-year funding request by the City for our basic
operations. The 2021 budget funds were $141,160 and the 2022 budget funds are $148,959. Lodging
tax supports a .5 FTE in the office of economic development, with the remaining .5 FTE being supported
by the general fund.
The City is also requesting a charge for the City's indirect cost allocation. The lodging tax fund is one of
several special revenue funds managed by the City of Tukwila. Under State Law, the City is permitted to
charge special revenue funds for the indirect costs that are incurred by the general fund to support and
maintain these special revenue funds. These costs include, but are not limited to, legal support,
accounting, insurance, technology services, human services, and office administration. Activities that
are needed to support the lodging fund.
The City is also requesting small amount of the $290,119 for small sponsorship opportunities ($15,000
per year) throughout the year that could help build the Tukwila brand and help enhance the tourist
destination. These funds have been useful in quickly sponsoring events and activities that come up
throughout the year that are small in nature and reduces staff workload by not having to go through a
formal application process for each small request.
In 2022 the City of Tukwila, Mayor's Office will oversee nearly $400,000 in lodging tax funds awarded
to outside groups. Each award requires a contract and ongoing oversight by City staff. The City is also
managing the Experience Tukwila digital platform development and marketing, which launched this
year.
26
2) If an event, list the event name, date(s), and projected overall attendance.
This request is not for a specific event. However, the application helps support the City's ability to use
funds to support third parties and for the City to use lodging tax for possible events. Limited funds are
also providing to help support small scale events and activities in the City.
3) Is your event/activity/facility focusing on attracting overnight tourists, day tourists, or both?
Both, the City uses its lodging tax funds to support marketing activities for both day and overnight
visitors. These are for activities either done by the City or by third parties.
In the past the City has used its lodging tax funds to support Seattle Southside Regional Tourism
Authority; events such as the Rock 'N' Roll Marathon; the Backyard Wildlife Fair; and marketing
activities at the Museum of Flight and Starfire Sports. Providing funding for outside organizations
requires administrative support from several departments, including Finance, City Attorney,
Technology Services, City Clerk, and Economic Development.
Additionally, there are tourism related trainings, events, and memberships that the City would like to
be part of. These activities help support the City's ongoing tourism efforts.
4) Describe why visitors will travel to Tukwila to attend your event/activity/facility.
N/A
The request is for funding to help support City's costs incurred by the City to administer the lodging tax
fund and for expenses that are related to tourism. As discussed above, the lodging tax fund is used to
support a variety of activities in the region, which bring both day and overnight visitors to the City.
Costs associated, such as offices supplies, travel, parking, and education related to tourism and
marketing should be charged to lodging tax and not the City's general fund.
Having access to funds for small events allows the City build its destination.
5) Describe the geographic target of the visitors you hope to attract (locally, regionally,
nationally, and/or internationally).
N/A.
6) Describe the prior success of your event/activity/facility in attracting tourists
The City has a long history of success in using lodging tax funds to support a wide range of activities,
including Seattle Southside Regional Tourism Authority, the Museum of Flight, Starfire Sports, and the
Southwest King County Chamber of Commerce (now known as Seattle Southside Chamber of
Commerce).

7) If this your first time holding the event/activity/facility provide background on why you think
it will be successful.
N/A
8) Describe the media strategy you employ to promote your event/activity/facility to attract
overnight and/or day tourists? Please list any digital or print media (newsletters, e -blasts,
social media, etc.) your agency uses or intends to use to promote your event/activity/facility.
N/A
9) Describe how you will promote lodging establishments, restaurants, retailers, and
entertainment establishments in the City of Tukwila.
N/A

N/A
12) Measurements and Metrics (Note: You will be required to report these metrics as part of the
close out of the agreement between your organization and the City.)
As a direct result of your proposed tourism -related service, provide an estimate of:
a.
Overall attendance at your proposed event/activity/facility.
20,000
b.
Number of people who will travel fewer than 50 miles for your
event/activity.
19,000
c.
Number of people who will travel more than 50 miles for your
event/activity.
1,000
d.
Of the people who travel more than 50 miles, the number of people
who will travel from another country or state.

g.

paid rooms on Saturday = 75 paid lodging room nights)
200
Special Note: The numbers provided above are direct estimates for this application and related to
the proposed special events part of the budget. Many of these special events will help with the
City's overall destination development goals. Existing hotel guests will be able to benefit from the
activities.
Additionally, this application helps supports the City's efforts in funding activities by third parties.
Combined, these third parties marketed the City to nearly 2 million people. For example, in 2019
Starfire Sports received $44,500 in lodging tax funds and nearly 1.2 million people visited the
Starfire Sports campus. The ability to provide funding to these third parties could not occur without
the City's ability to process contracts and provide payment, which is supported by this application.
13) What methodologies did you use to calculate the estimates and what methodologies will you
use to track outcomes, such as total participants, estimated visitor spending, etc?
As discussed above, the City uses its lodging tax funds to support a wide range of activities. In 2023 and
2024, the City anticipates funding a variety of activities. These funded activities have metrics, which
the City will use for reporting purposes for this funding request. However, for reporting purposes the
City report the metrics for these third -party applications separately. Additionally, the City's efforts are
intended to create a better tourist economy and encourage more organic visits to the City. These
organic visitors are difficult to attract directly, but ultimately success can be tracked by increase sales at
area businesses and increase revenue from hotels.

1) If an event, list the event name, date(s), and projected overall attendance.
The City of Tukwila is requesting lodging tax funds to partner with the Seattle Seawolves for the team's
2023 and 2024 seasons. The Seawolves are a professional rugby team in Major League Rugby (MLR).
The team trains in Tukwila and plays all its home games at Starfire Sports. The Seawolves are the most
successful and dominate team in MLR rugby, having played in three championships games and winning
two of them. Rugby as a hold is growing in the United States, with the US set to host the World Cup in
2031 for men's and 2033 for women's.
The City provided $40,000 in funding in 2022. Staff is requesting a total of $150,000 ($75,000 per year)
through 2024 to execute a sponsorship agreement with the Seawolves. Prior to the pandemic the
Seawolves were averaging 4,000 attendees per home match. Towards the end of 2022 the team
started to see a return to its significant fan base.
The Seawolves have a very strong digital following and a growing brand identity in the Seattle metro
region. Through Experience Tukwila digital accounts, the City has done significant campaigns and posts
to highlight the team, rugby, and the City. Moving forward staff wants to start planting the flag that
Tukwila is "Rugby City USA."
In 2023 and 2024 the City would partner with the Seawolves on initiatives that focus on three distinct
areas:
1. Drive Head in beds. Tukwila hotels will be the official hotel for away teams for the 2022 and
2023 seasons.
2. Drive More Traffic to Area Businesses. As we hopefully emerge from COVID-19 it is important
that we help highlight that our restaurants and retailers are open in order to get our market
share back. In person attendance at game will be limited due to restrictions in place for COVID-
19. The Seawolves have been very supportive of promoting the City via its own social media
channels.
3. Building the Tukwila Brand. The Seawolves have a strong and growing brand in the Seattle
region. Additionally, the Seawolves have a very strong brand following by millennials and
families, part of the City's overall target audience for branding. The City's internal brand
essence is "Accessible Fun." The Seawolves games are easily "accessible fun." The game are
reasonably priced, fun, and safe for families.
4. Rugby Community. The City also has an opportunity to build a rugby brand. Like we have done
for soccer, Tukwila could be known as the epicenter of soccer in the Pacific NW. Supporting
the Seawolves can help attract more rugby matches to the City. In 2021 our relationship with
the Seawolves resulted in introductions to the Rugby 7 organizers and the XV Series, both of
these activities called Tukwila home for their matches. We want to work to known as Rugby
City USA.
2) Is your event/activity/facility focusing on attracting overnight tourists, day tourists, or both?
Both, both directly and indirectly by building a rugby brand

3) Describe why visitors will travel to Tukwila to attend your event/activity/facility.
The Seawolves have been playing in Tukwila since the team was founded. Each game has sold
out, with nearly 4,000 rugby fans attending the games. In 2019, the City partnered with the
Seawolves on two international matches. As part of these matches the City and Westfield
Southcenter hosted a fan event before one of the games. This fan event was well attended. The
Seawolves team has a loyal fan following. We are hoping to work with the Seawolves and rugby
community to bring more events to the City over the next two years.
In 2020 Seawolves players participated in a drive through Halloween event at Westfield
Southcenter and the player's presence and attitude help to drive visitors to the mall. The
Seawolves have supported the Experience Tukwila social media campaign. The Seawolves
have also engaged with Westfield directly in a formal engagement agreement.
4) Describe the geographic target of the visitors you hope to attract (locally, regionally,
nationally, and/or internationally).
Regionally. Most fans are located within the Greater Seattle region. Home games may also
produce a small number of traveling fans from throughout the United States. These homes
games would also generate hotel stays by the away team.
Besides attendance at games, the City is also hoping to get branding exposure with the Seawolves
5) Describe the prior success of your event/activity/facility in attracting tourists.
The Seawolves have shown the ability to bring fans to the City. In 2019 year the City partnered with
the Seawolves on two international matches. Both games were well attended. Nearly all home
matches in 2019 were sold out.
In 2022 we want to work with the Seawolves to leverage new ways to bring rugby fans to the City.
6) If this your first time holding the event/activity/facility provide background on why you think
it will be successful.
N/A
7) Describe the media strategy you employ to promote your event/activity/facility to attract
overnight and/or day tourists? Please list any digital or print media (newsletters, e -blasts,
social media, etc.) your agency uses or intends to use to promote your event/activity/facility.
The City will utilize Experience Tukwila and the Seawolves digital and social media for promotion.
The City will bring in additional partners and these partners would be required to also promote
various events, such as the fan day event or viewing parties. Seawolves matches are streamed
online and shown on TV last year these games brought significant brand exposure to the City.

NOTE: Text in underline and strike-thru format reflects changes made
per the discussion at the 11/28/22 Committee of the Whole.
ATTACHMENT A
City of Tukwila 2023 Legislative Agenda
Transportation & Infrastructure
• Provide funding for the full replacement of the Tukwila Community Center's heating
and air cooling system, which is functionally obsolete and impedes the City's ability
to provide full programming and meet critical safety -net needs during extreme winter
events.
• Create stable, reliable infrastructure assistance funding for cities to assist in repairing
roads, bridges and other public infrastructure that support economic development.
• Honor funding commitments made in Move Ahead Washington.
Housing & Human Services
• Address the housing stability crisis by providing additional tools for rental assistance,
foreclosure/eviction prevention and capital construction of affordable housing, including
starter homes and options for people aging.
• Fund additional investments in behavioral health, including in-patient and out-patient
facilities, as an alternative to jail and align State law with best practices to allow individuals
in crisis to receive necessary and life-saving services.
• We strongly encourage the State to adequately fund human services programs for the
health of the safety net.
Advancing Equity
• Develop and implement a racial equity toolkit for legislation, policies and programs to
advance racial equity in Washington.
• Ensure affordable, high-quality broadband internet access as defined by SB 5717 is
available to all households and businesses to provide educational, entrepreneurial,
business and accessibility equity for all Washingtonians to access the internet.
• Enact a financial inclusion law that will address the public safety and equal access
issues caused by bank de -risking.
Law Enforcement Use of Force
• Respond to the Blake decision by revising the current system so that it can be more
effectively administered within and across jurisdictions, including funding for cities affected
by changes resulting from the Blake decision.
• Further clarify the ability for law enforcement to conduct vehicle pursuits using a
reasonable suspicion standard in specific circumstances when there is an immediate
threat to public safety.
Revenue Reform
• Allow cities the authority and flexibility to address the fact that growth in the cost of
services continue to outstrip revenues.
• The state should amend the law that limits annual property tax growth to 1 percent and
work with cities to authorize additional funding flexibility and opportunities at the local
level.
83
Education
• Implement needs -based funding for allocation of social emotional student support
resources and expand funding for learning opportunities for summer school students.
• Increase funding for homeless students and secondary ELL students.
• Incorporate early learning for low-income students as a part of Basic Education.
Preserve Lodging Tax Flexibility
• Ensure the definition of "tourist" in Washington State remains flexible to allow
jurisdictions and Lodging Tax Advisory Committees to distribute lodging tax dollars in a
manner that best serves each individual community.
Preparing for Our Future
• Enact policies to prepare to combat climate change, including adequately budgeting for
its effects and providing tools to cities to prepare and address the ramifications of flooding,
pollution and other key factors.
• Continue to invest in workforce education and job training to ensure Washingtonians
have access to high-quality career and technical education opportunities.
• Support a permanent policy that allows greater flexibility for local governments to
hold virtual meetings without a physical location.

10. Staff Updates
Public Safety
• Housing Assistance: The Tukwila Community Liaison Officer worked with the Salvation Army
to locate housing for a family that had been previously staying in a tent at Bicentennial Park.
• Westfield Mall: Chief Dreyer, Deputy Chief Lund and the Community Police Team continue to
work with Westfield Mall management regarding safety at the mall throughout the upcoming
holiday season.
Project Updates
• Fleet and Facilities Building: The Contractor commenced the roof work, although work is
going slower than anticipated due to weather conditions.
• 2022 Annual Overlay Program: Estimated Completion: Spring 2023
Work is complete for 2022. Channelization and lane lines have been completed. Due to
weather constraints, thermoplastic crosswalks and stop bars cannot be placed until Spring
2023. Temporary markings have been placed and will be maintained during the winter.
Speed cushions have been installed on 37th Ave S and S 140th St.
• Tukwila Parkway Emergency Repair Project: Estimated Completion: January 2023
Pavement restoration has been completed and all lanes are open to traffic. Remaining work
includes signal pole replacement and sidewalk restoration. Due to stop work requirements
during the holiday season, all remaining work will be placed on hold until after January 1,
2023. Temporary HMA is being placed this week on sidewalk to make it accessible. Signal is
fully operational.
• 42nd Ave S Bridge Replacement and One -Way Bridge Traffic Study Update: As promised,
the six-month traffic analysis study is complete for the one-way northbound vehicles on the
bridge. On average, 3,200 vehicles/day cross the bridge in the northbound direction. The
recommendation is to keep traffic operating in the northbound direction until the new bridge
is complete due to delays likely at E. Marginal Way/S 115th St. intersection if traffic direction
is changed. This study has been shared with the City Council and the Allentown community.
The design for the 42nd Ave S Bridge Replacement continues forward toward the 30% mark
which is expected to be submitted in early 2023. Final design should be complete by the end
of 2023 and construction is still expected to begin in 2024.
