Watch for fireworks in November
Citizens in Tukwila responded to a questionnaire in the February Hazelnut, asking,
you — the community— whether you supported a ban on the discharge of fireworks
in Tukwila. The City's current law allows fireworks only on the 4th of July between
the hours of 10:00 AM and 11:00 PM.
Responses varied, but it was apparent people hold strong opinions about fireworks.
Messages vigorously supported a ban or equally vigorously opposed a ban. 151
people supported a total ban, 125 said they preferred to keep the current law, and
25 opposed a ban. Seeing that vote as an almost even split, the City Council referred
the issue to an advisory vote on this November's general election in November.
The November vote will ask whether citizens support a total ban on the sale and
discharge of fireworks in Tukwila. The Council will abide by the vote results.

2 THE HAZELNUT
April's Vision Tukwila
-meeting draws crowd
Nearly 200 citizens turned out
on April 17th, attending the
Vision Tukwila meeting at Fos-
ter High School, and address-
ing their concerns about the
future of Tukwila with the
Mayor, City Council and City
staff members.
Public safety was expressed as
a high priority issue, and at-
tendees heard about ongoing
crime prevention activities in
the City — particularly in the
Pacific Highway South corri-
dor — from Police Chief Ron
Waldner, as well as from mem-
bers of the Highway 99 Action
Committee and the Tukwila
Citizens Patrol.
Other items of interest were
Parks and Recreation programs,
the status of the new commu-
nity center and fire station, and
how the City's recently adopted
Comprehensive Plan will af-
fect development.
More information on these sub-
jects will appear in future edi-
tions of the Hazelnut.
Yes, there IS such a thing as a FREE RIDE!
The City of Tukwila announces a mid-day
shuttle demonstration:
CITY OF TUKWILA LUNCH BUS
Monday - Friday 11:00 AM to 2:00 PM
Runs through Friday, June 28
(no service Memorial Day, May 27)
Now you can carpool, vanpool take the bus
to work, or even drive alone — and still do
errands at lunch without a car!
The Lunch Bus service is aimed at
linking area employers and workers
to local retailers and restaurants, while
reducing the mid-day traffic.
Catch the Lunch Bus at specially
marked Metro stops along the routes,
and at shuttle stops on Andover Park
East. Four buses run along three
routes every twenty minutes, each
stopping at Southcenter's food court.
Ride for FREE — you might even win
a prize in a ridership drawing!
The Lunch Bus is a partnership be-
tween the City of Tukwila, King
County Metro Transit, WSEO, Tuk-
wila employers and the Southwest
King County Chamber of Commerce.
For more information, call 433-7155.
Volunteers observe Earth Day by cleaning up at Tukwila Pond
On Saturday April 20th, 115 people volunteered to make our
City better and our environment cleaner. The volunteers
gathered at the future park site on the west side of Tukwila
Pond Park. The site is south of Target and east of the
Doubletree Suites Hotel in the City's central business district.
For three hours volunteers cleaned the site of litter and debris;
the workday ended with a free lunch provided by the Double-
tree Suites. Volunteers were provided Earth Day 1996
T-shirts by the Bon Distribution Center and Puget Power.
The hard work produced a large dumpster full of debris, tires
_,4d other materials which were disposed of properly, leaving
a pristine pond, wetlands and future park site.
Many thanks go to the volunteers and to the Tukwila Pond
Committee who organized this effort. They continue to seek
donations to fund the park's development, hopefully next
year. If you have questions or want to help with this project,
please call the Parks and Recreation Department at 433-1858.

New Community Center shapes up
Even though winter weather has caused a few days delay in construction work, the
new Community Center continues to reach for the sky. The contractor, Berschauer/
Phillips, started in January and should complete the 48,380 -square foot multi-
purpose center in January 1997. In the picture above, the cement block gym wall
on the left has reached its 28 -foot height. In the center is the framing of the main
entrance rotunda. On the far right is meeting rooms and senior program areas.
Work is also progressing on all utilities and the 300 -stall parking lot. Citizens are
encouraged to drive by the site at 12424 - 42nd Avenue South to see the progress.
Later this year information will be available about room rentals and reservations.
If you have any questions, call the Parks and Recreation Department at 433-1858.

Pride Pak says thank you
The Pride Pak (Tukwila's after-schocf
program for children of low-income
families) wants to thank everyone who
contributed and supported its trip to
Disneyland April 8-11. A fun time was
had by all. If not for the community and
business support, this group would not
have been able to attend. Thank you!!
"River of Life" will flow
through new Center
Tukwila's Arts Commission has selected
local artist Michael Kennedy to design
and create a floor mural named "The
River of Life" for the new Community
Center.
Part of the planned entrance walkway,
the "river" will represent a flowing river
containing images of salmon, floating
leaves and islands; it will be created
from recycled concrete and glass and
colored with permanent concrete dyes
Mr. Kennedy envisions the river twist-
ing and turning along the walkway to
illustrate the twists and turns of time. It
will contain ten "islands" upon which
interpretive information will be engraved
depicting the history of Tukwila from
prehistoric times to the present. The
river will begin at the flag plaza on the
north side of the building and flow to the
lobby entrance where personalized tiles
will be incorporated into the mural.
The Arts Commission is very pleased to
have the opportunity to work on this
project with Michael Kennedy. He was
previously commissioned to design and
create the outstanding stained glass win-
dows at the new Foster Library.
If you would like to become a part of this
historical mural design by purchasing a
personalized tile, please call the Parks
and Recreation Department at 433
1858. There is still time to order.

Purchase a pet license,
' -iy peace of mind
A King County pet license provides identification to
reunite you and your pet who has strayed. Your pet may also
get a FREE RIDE HOME on its first impound, skipping a visit
to the animal shelter. A pet license provides UP TO 2
WEEKS OF SAFETY. Animal Control will hold an im-
pounded licensed pet for at least 5 days after phone contact
with the owner, or two weeks after mailed notice.
Included with the purchase of a license for an unaltered
animal is a SPAY/NEUTER VOUCHER good for savings on
surgeries. King County pet licenses can be purchased at the
Tukwila City Clerk's Office, Monday through Friday, from
8:30 AM to 5:00 PM.
From May 24th thru 29th, King County License canvassers will
go door-to-door in the Tukwila area, licensing those pets that
have not yet been licensed. Canvassers will operate between the
hours of 3:00 and 9:00 PM Monday through Friday, and 10:00
AM to 6:00 PM on Saturday. Licenses may
be purchased during that same week at
the Tukwila Larry's Market store, 3725
S. 144th, between the hours of 3:30 and
8:30 PM Tuesday through Friday, and from
10:30 AM to 5:30 PM on Saturday.

Tukwila honors apartments in Crime
Free Multi -family Housing program
Congratulations to the managers, owners and tenants of these
apartment complexes — they are fully certified as CFMH properties!
• Avalon • Heatherwoods • San Juan
• Candee 4 plex • LaVista
• Colonial Gardens • Samara 11
• Shdo 8 plex
• Villa Nelle
Tukwila's Crime Free Multi -Housing Program uses a three-level approach to reduce
crime in apartment communities, reduce calls for police service, and to foster a
cleaner, healthier, more stable living environment. This is accomplished through 1)
a comprehensive 8 -hour training program for landlords, 2) strict security require-
ments for participating properties, and 3) crime prevention training for residents.
Police and Human Services staff conduct each phase of the program.
Forty-four landlords representing 32 properties have already completed the 8 -hour
management training and are on their way to full certification. Here are their
comments: "When landlords get even a little support from the police, we feel so
much more empowered to clean up or keep our apartments cleaned up." "Tenants
perceive that the police are working closelywith management - can't do drugs here."
"You started this just in time. You have saved our neighborhood." "This type of
training is a must for all involved in rental property management." "I didn't feel part
of the community until I came to this class and started participating in the Network."
Upcoming training dates are May 21 & 23, 9 AM to 1 PM; June 18 & 20, 5 to 9 PM.
Class size is limited to 12. Call Karen Wright or Tom Kilburg at 242-8084 to reserve
your space or to get more information.
Meals On Wheels serves our community
Last year, Meals on Wheels provided over 6,600 meals to 56 homebound seniors
like in Tukwila. To be eligible for the program, seniors must be at least 60 years of
age and homebound. A typical client is over age 75, lives alone, has a very low
income and has health conditions that make it difficult or impossible to shop or
prepare nutritious meals. The spouse or primary caretaker, living with the eligible
client, is also eligible to receive meals. There are no income requirements; a
donation of $2.25 is requested for each meal received, but participants contribute
whatever they can afford. They choose from an extensive list of 35 complete dinners
and 5 breakfasts, and the frozen meals are delivered weekly. All menus are planned
by a registered dietitian, and many are adaptable to a variety of special diets.
The application process is simple, and Community Center staff respond immedi-
ately. In most cases, eligible persons can begin service within the week.
If you or someone you know might benefit
from Meals on Wheels, call 243-5198 or
448-5767.

Home repair loans
are available
Spring is the time that many
homeowners think about the home re-
pairs that need to be made. Sometimes
the cost of a repair maybe too expensive
for a homeowner. The City of Tukwila
contributes a sizeable amount of Com-
munity Development Block Grant Funds
to help homeowners with major hous-
ing repair needs. This year about
$90,000 is available to low and moder-
ate income home owners.
After an income screening, homeowners
can receive no -interest, no monthly pay-
ment loans that can be paid back when
the home is sold or the title is trans-
ferred. Loans can be used for structural
and mechanical repairs as well as gen-
eral improvements. The maximum loan
that can be applied for is $13,500.
Mobile homes with real estate are eli-
gible. Homeowners are responsible fr
finding their own contractors, but the
work must be approved by King County
Home Repair staff.
This popular program often gets more
requests than can be met, so
homeowners are encouraged to apply
for funds as soon as possible. To see if
you qualify, call the King County Hous-
ing Hotline at 296-7640.
Employment services will
help you get that job
The Employment Services Program of
the YWCA of Seattle -King County -

Citizens mobilize to clean up Highway 99
In recent months two citizen -based groups have mobilized to improve the envirc_
ment along Highway 99.
One is the Highway 99 Action Committee, comprised of interested property
owners, business operators and residents who have pledged their efforts, time and
talent to discourage criminal activity in and around the Highway 99 corridor.
A number of participants have been hon-
ored for their commitment to the goals of
the committee. Honorees have included
Dave Malik of the Riverton BP Station;
Dave Fenton, manager of the SamaraApart-
ments; Laurie Williams, manager,
Southgate Mobile Home Park; Fred Palmer,
Star Nurseries; Mike and Donna West,
Southtowne Auto Rebuild; John Welch of Valley Equipment; and Dwight McLean,
manager of the Econolodge. The Committee is supported by staff assistance from the
Chamber of Commerce and meets the first Tuesday of each month at the Foster
Library conference room. For more information, please call Kirsti Weaver at the
Southwest King County Chamber of Commerce at 433-1633.
The second group is known as the Citizens' Patrol. Composed of interested
citizens who dedicate their time to walk along the highway in groups, their aim is
to make the criminal element feel uncomfortable a•
unwelcome. The group is non -confrontative and relic.,
on their visibility as a deterrent to criminal activity.
The membership has received training from the
Tukwila Police Department and support from local
merchants. For further information, contact Pam
or Eva at 901-7800, ext. 4023.
Success in improving the conditions on Highway 99 will require active partnership
between the City, property and business owners and the community itself. Your
ideas and participation CAN and DO make a difference. Please consider getting
involved as part of the solution.
