City of Tukwila 2025-26 Budget Development 4
Context: 2023-24 Served as a "Bridge" Budget
• The City faced unprecedented times: COVID-19
and revenue losses
• The City balanced the budget using three
strategies:
1. Use of one-time funds/reserve balances
2. New revenue via B&O tax
3. Budget reductions through attrition and vacancies

2025-26 Early Budget Development
The Mayor and staff are focused on these themes as they
develop a proposed budget:
• Restoring services to the community that were reduced in the pandemic
• This will be done by unfreezing positions and operational funding
• Funding select new initiatives or enhancements to existing programs to meet
community needs
• Streamlining efforts where possible
• Using half of property tax revenue capacity from the annexation to PSRFA to
fund services ($6M)
