October 21, 2024
SUBJECT: Lodging Tax Funding Request: City of Tukwila, Seattle Seawolves
Partnership
ISSUE
Review of a lodging tax funding request from the City of Tukwila Mayor's Office for funds to
support the 2025/26 Partnership with 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 11, 2024, meeting, the LTAC reviewed and sent forward to the City Council an
application by the City of Tukwila for the 2025/26 Seawolves Partnership. LTAC recommends
approval of the funding request.
i 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."

1. City of Tukwila, 2025/26 Seawolves Partnership (Not to Exceed $180,000 ($90,000
in 2025 and 2026).
The City of Tukwila is requesting lodging tax funds to partner with the Seattle Seawolves for the
team's 2025/26 seasons. The Seattle Seawolves is a professional rugby team in Major League
Rugby (MLR). The team trains and plays all of its home games at Starfire Sports in Tukwila. The
Seawolves are the most successful and dominate team in MLR. The team has won two MLR
Championships. Rugby as a whole is growing in popularity in the United States and is popular
in Seattle.
In 2024 total home attendance for the Seawolves at Starfire was just over 31,000 people.
The Seawolves also have a very strong digital following and a growing brand identity in the
Seattle metro region. Through the Experience Tukwila digital accounts, the City has done some
limited campaigns with the Seawolves to promote both the Seawolves and the City.
The City has had an ongoing partnership with Seawolves since 2022. In 2023/24 the City
provided a total of $150,000 to the Seawolves for a two year partnership. The proposed 2025/26
partnership largely carries on the same benefits the City will receive from the Seawolves. One of
the biggest benefits the City receives is having the City's name located on the back of the
Seawolves home, away, and alternate kits. The City's ongoing goals with the partnership with
the Seawolves include:
1. Drive Heads in Beds. Tukwila hotels will be the official hotel for away teams for the
2025/26 seasons.
2. Drive More Traffic to Area Businesses. Drive more people to area businesses, such as
restaurants, entertainment activities, and other hospitality type businesses.
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 games 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. The
Seawolves have also brought international friendly matches to the City.
LTAC Recommendation on Application: Do Fund
Staff Recommendation on Application: Do Fund.
FINANCIAL IMPACT
The total request will not exceed $180,000 over the two-year period ($90,000 per year). The
six -year Tourism Financial Plan has a total of $175,000 ($350,000 over the total two year
period) allocated per year for sponsorships.

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
2025 and 2026 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 multiple championships games and
winning two of them. Rugby as a whole 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 and $150,000 over two years for 2023 and 2024. Staff is
requesting a total of $180,000 ($90,000 per year) through 2026 to execute a sponsorship agreement
with the Seawolves..
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 2025 and 2026 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. The Seawolves have been very supportive of
promoting the City via its own social media channels. We have done cross promotion with
Experience Tukwila and the Seawolves to promote Tukwila businesses and events.
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.
In 2023/2024 the City received significant exposure on all the Seawolves social media and
TV. The City's name is also on the backdrop for the Seawolves and used for media
interviews for the players and coaches.
Another fun feature is that the City has branding directly on the team's jerseys. This
provides great earned media exposure for the City.
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
Page 2 of 7
18
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. In 2024 a total of
31,387 attended preseason, regular season and post season matches at Starfire. In the past years
the City has partnered with the Seawolves to bring international matches and club matches to the
City.
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. Homes games are well attended. This year the
Seawolves hosted two playoff matches at Starfire.
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.

8) Describe how you will promote lodging establishments, restaurants, retailers, and

available or recommended?

SUBJECT: Vietnamese Martyr's Church Development Agreement
ISSUE
Review of a development agreement for the Vietnamese Martyr's Church, located at 6841
South 180' Street to install a sculpture that exceeds the height standard in the underlying
zoning.
BACKGROUND
Revised Code of Washington 367.70B.170 (RCW) and Tukwila Municipal Code (TMC) 18.86
allows the City to enter into development agreements with property owners for real property
under their control. With a development agreement, the City can provide flexibility to zoning
standards, such as height, bulk, setbacks, parking, etc. A development agreement is often used
as complex or unique projects that do not fit easily within the adopted zoning and development
standards of a jurisdiction.
The Vietnamese Martyr's Church, located in the Southcenter District of the City, has been
working to complete a significant construction project that includes the construction of new
cathedral structure on the property. As part of the project the Church received permission and
was issued a permit to install a sculpture on the property. The sculpture is a replica of a holy
shrine in the La Vang region of Vietnam. The permit application that was initially submitted to
the City was for a 45 foot tall shrine, the allowed maximum height in the Tukwila Urban Center -
Workplace zoning designation. Yet, during construction the sculpture was built and installed at
just over 55 feet tall, taller than what is permitted in the zone.
To remedy the height issue, the City suggested and the applicant applies for a development
agreement. The proposed development agreement will allow just the sculpture to extend to a
maximum height of 56 feet, 11 feet taller than what is permitted in the underlying zoning. Note,
the development agreement does not apply nor modify the development standards for the main
church building or other buildings on the site.
DISCUSSION
The development agreement addresses the height exception needed to address the height
deviation for the sculpture. Without the development agreement, the sculpture would have to be
removed or lowered to meet the City's height standard.
Since a development agreement is a contract, the City is required to receive a public benefit in
exchange for the benefit granted to the property owner. The public benefit is proportional to the
development and what is being requested. The property owner and staff have agreed on the
following public benefit for the project:
1. When identifying the Sculpture's location, it shall be referred to as being in "Tukwila,"
the "City of Tukwila," or "Southcenter District." No reference to another city shall be made in
referencing the Sculpture's location.
53
INFORMATIONAL MEMO
Page 2
2. Owner shall grant the City a non -revocable license to use the sculpture's image and
likeness in any digital, printing, video, or other medium to highlight or promote the City for
tourism, economic development, and other marketing purposes.
RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends that the City Council approve the development agreement and authorize the
Mayor to execute. A public hearing is required and has been scheduled for the Regular Meeting
on November 4, 2024. The City Council could take action on the development agreement
following the public hearing.
