City seeks voter approval to
annex into the Puget Sound
Regional Fire Authority on
August 1, 2023
In the upcoming August 1 primary election, the
City of Tukwila will ask voters to consider
formally annexing to the Puget Sound Regional
Fire Authority (Puget Sound Fire) for fire and
emergency medical services. The proposition
requires a simple majority to pass.
Proposition 1 states:
Should the City of Tukwila be annexed into and
be a part of the Puget Sound Regional Fire
Authority to maintain current fire and
emergency medical services levels, effective
January 1, 2024, per City of Tukwila Resolution
No. 2070?
Effective January 1, 2023, the City of Tukwila
began contracting with Puget Sound Fire for Fire
and Emergency Medical Services (EMS). Prior to
that, for seven months a Community Advisory
Committee studied the future of fire and EMS in
Tukwila. They recommended the contract to
serve as a bridge to a potential full annexation
into Puget Sound Fire. The consensus of the
Committee was that annexation would both
preserve Tukwila’s high level of Fire and EMS,
and provide the ability to maintain other services
that are desired by the Tukwila community.
Learn more about annexation to the Puget Sound
RFA on the City website.
