Tukwila Fire Department moves into newly completed Station 52
Earlier this year, the City formally opened
its new Fire Station 52, which now serves as
the Tukwila Fire Department's headquarters
station. The new station is located on the City
Hall campus just off of 65th Avenue South.
The state-of-the-art facility includes three
apparatus bays for fire engines and other
vehicles, and houses a back-up Emergency
Operations Center and the Fire Department's
administrative staff. Because Tukwila fire-
fighters are on shift 48 hours at a time, the
station also includes a kitchen, living area
and individual bunk rooms. The grounds at
Fire Station 52 feature a memorial garden
and other hardscaping and softscaping that
can host Fire Department events.
Besides supporting firefighter health with
an exercise room, the new station was
developed with their safety in mind. Air
locks between the apparatus bays and the
rest of the station help ensure that possible
contaminants from fires and other calls are
contained to the "dirty" areas of the station,
keeping them out of the living areas.
Designed by Weinstein A+U and constructed
by Lydig Construction, the City had the
assistance of SOJ, a firm providing project
management services for the entire Public
Safety Plan. This new Fire Station 52joins
new Fire Station 51 and Tukwila's new
Justice Center as completed Plan elements.
These new state-of-the-art facilities were
made possible by the voters of Tukwila.
The City of Tukwila offers its gratitude to
the community for its support for public
safety personnel and services.
Pursuing excellence in equity and beyond
In 2017 the City Council identified and
adopted Resolution #1921's Equity
Policy. The City of Tukwila is committed to being an inclusive
community that provides equal access to all City services. The
purpose of the Equity Policy is to provide elected officials,
City staff, boards and commissions, businesses, community
members, residents and guests guidance on how the Tukwila
will lead with equity throughout the decision -making process
and engagement efforts.
The Equity Policy consist of these six goals:
1. Our City workforce reflects our community.
2. Community outreach and engagement is relevant,
intentional, inclusive, consistent and ongoing.
3. All residents and visitors receive equitable delivery of
City services.
4. The City will identify strategies to facilitate equitable
access to decision -making, where the decisions
themselves - and the process and context in which
they are made - are transparent.
5. Equity serves as a core value for all long-term plans
moving forward.
6. The City will build capacity around equity within City
government and the broader community.
To compliment this Policy, the Equity Policy Implementation
Committee (EPIC) was created in 2019. EPIC is a City-wide
committee run by City employees who are committed to
advancing equity throughout the City of Tukwila. EPIC
identified four equity priorities for implementation in 2020:
providing consistent equity training; incorporating equity
into City hiring processes; developing an equity toolkit; and
creating a guide to equitable outreach.
Let me highlight a few examples of EPIC success stories:
Their collaboration with the Equity and Social Justice
Commission has led EPIC to co -create and develop short -
and long-term toolkits that will allow City staff to normalize
and operationalize equity throughout all City departments.
In 2020, EPIC's collaboration process led the Human
Resources Department to implement changes to its hiring
process, such as anti -bias training for interviewers.
Most recently EPIC was selected for a 2021 Association of
Washington Cities (AWC) Municipal Excellence Award. AWC
recognizes innovative solutions by cities that significantly
improve the quality of life for their communities. Municipal
Excellence Awards showcase creative ideas and successes
that can be replicated in other cities.

I am also happy to tell you about Tukwila's first Juneteenth
event. City Council Resolution #1992 officially recognizes
Juneteenth of each year as an annual celebration of
the African American Emancipation. The Juneteenth
Commemoration is the history of the last enslaved African
Americans being informed they were free. Two months after
the Civil War ended, federal troops arrived in Galveston, Texas
and - on June 19,1865 - announced to all that slavery had
been abolished throughout the former Confederate states and
the entire nation.
This year the City of Tukwila will host its first Juneteenth
Commemoration "Continued Learning - The History of
Juneteenth: Past, Present and Future of African American
history." To ensure the safety of Tukwila residents, community
members, businesses and guests during the coronavirus
pandemic, the City will present this inaugural year Juneteenth
event on the Experience Tukwila website. Although this event
debuts modestly, the City's goal is to grow the Juneteenth
commemoration over time into a significant annual Tukwila
community event. Additionally, Washington State has officially
declared Juneteenth a holiday for state employees.
The City of Tukwila has much to celebrate with Equity Policy
and the Juneteenth Commemoration. I look forward to
working with the community, leading the City in equity and
making Tukwila an inclusive city for all.

Council Corner
Updating how we conduct
City Council business
by Kate Miller,
2021 Council President
Local municipal government - like Tukwila - is often referred
to as "the government closest to the people." What happens
there has more direct influence on your daily life, and your
representatives are neighbors in your community. It's vital to
periodically re-evaluate our practices to improve accessibility,
efficiency and ensure good governance as we do our duty in
service to the Tukwila community. Last year, complying with
State mandates, we rushed into holding our meetings online
but then improved transparency by recording our committee
meetings so you can see them on -demand through TukTv
on our website. This year we also changed our virtual public
comment so you can speak directly to us during meetings.
It's been some time since the Tukwila Municipal Code was
updated regarding City Council operations. In May, the City
Council updated its procedures for conducting our business
and facilitating our legislative process. Going forward, we
will review and update them every two years. As always, we
welcome your feedback. Although most of the rules are largely
defined by State law, we listen to you and try new ideas.
The majority of this update adds detail to provide greater
transparency, and rephrases existing practices into language
that is easier to understand. I'd like to highlight changes we've
made to the Public Comment period at Council meetings:
• Agendas have been re -organized to make Public Comment
easier. Your opportunity to speak to the City Council now
occurs at the start of the meeting. We feel people shouldn't
have to wait until mid -meeting to say what they think. Also,
if you wish to comment on a specific agenda item, you can
choose either to address the item during the Public Comment
period OR to speak to your City Council when the item comes
up on the agenda, whichever you prefer.
• We've also removed the requirement to state your address
for the record when making a comment, as we feel that can
be intimidating or a barrier to public participation.
To read the City Council's complete Rules of Procedure, visit
TukwilaWA.gov/city-council. If you have any questions, don't
hesitate to call me or any member of the Council. Contact
information can be found on the back page or on our website.
On a personal note, I'd like to share my optimism for where our
public health is heading as a city, region and country, as more
people get vaccinated. I was honored to be at several Mobile
Vaccination Team clinics held in our city by the Tukwila Fire
Department. I cannot give enough praise for our TFD Firefighters,
who worked tirelessly on their own time. They obtained
vaccination vials from King County Zone 3 coordinators, set up
operations to meet the needs of those who couldn't get vaccines
any other way, and tracked everyone vaccinated to ensure they'd
receive their second booster in the prescribed optimal time
period. They provided folks what they needed to protect their
lives from this deadly pandemic in a people -friendly experience.
If you have not yet received your vaccine, I encourage you to go
to Vaccines.gov and make a reservation to get yours today!

learning materials each month.

West Valley Highway/I_ongacres Way
Since fall 2019, Tukwila's Public Works Department has been
working on design improvements to West Valley Highway and
Longacres Way. Construction is currently expected to begin
this summer. Improvements will include
• A new third northbound land from Strander Boulevard
north to S 156th Street/I-405 northbound ramps.
• New sidewalks on the east side of West Valley Highway
between S 156th Street and Longacres Way, and between
the Chevron station car wash and the Courtyard by Marriot
hotel. The existing sidewalk gap is due to Seattle Public
Utilities' large 60-inch water main that runs under the
highway at that point, which required special measures be
taken to protect the pipe.
• A new signalized pedestrian crossing using a HAWK (High -
I ntensity Activated Crosswalk) signal across West Valley
Highway next to the Pedestrian Bridge.
• A new two-way cycle track for bicycles on the southside of
Longacres Way between West Valley Highway and Tukwila
Station.
• A new Rectangular Rapid Flashing Beacon (RRFB) signal on
Longacres Way at the Interurban Trail.
• New illumination along Longacres Way.
The project is primarily funded through federal, State and
local grants (83% of the cost), and traffic impact fees collected
from new development in the Southcenter area (11%).
General City dollars contribute the final 6%of the $5.6 million
project cost. If you have questions concerning this project,
please contact Cyndy Knighton, Senior Program Manager, at
206-431-2450 or email Cyndy.Knighton@TukwilaWA.gov.
Andover Park East ancl Strancler sewer repair
To prevent an emergency sewer repair in the future and to
continue protecting the environment, this project repaired
two portions of a sewer main at two different sites. The vast
majority of the construction took place during the night
hours to avoid
inconveniencing
routine City traffic.
Construction
began in October
2020 and
concluded in
February 2021.

New joint Public Works facility
As part of the Public Safety Plan, the City has started work
on a consolidated Public Works Shops Facility. The goal is to
relocate Public Works (PW) employees from multiple locations
into a single facility that is seismically safe, energy efficient, and
meets the operational needs of current and future PW staff.
The first phase included the
purchase of a property large
enough for this function, tailoring
it for City needs, and transitioning
employees to the site. The space
chosen is on Tukwila International
Boulevard immediately north of
the Green River.
Construction for the new site is
now underway. Excavation has
begun and permits have been
issued for the plumbing, fire and
electrical. Perimeter fencing
has been completed, and yard
entrance gates and controls are
operational. Public works crews
are anticipated to move into
the new facility during the first
quarter of 2022. If you have any
questions, contact Cody Gray,
Public Works Operations Manager,
at 206-696-8182, or send an email
to Cody.Gray@TukwilaWA.gov.
East IVIarginal Way South stormwater outfalls
This surface water project is reconstructing drainage
infrastructure along the northern portion of East Marginal
Way South near the north City limits. It provides the City
with a new drainage connection to the Duwamish River, and
prevents stormwater from being discharged into neighboring
properties' drainage systems. The project also provides
water quality improvements to treat stormwater prior to it
being released to the Duwamish River. Construction began on
March 8 and should be completed by July 2021.
The City received 75% of the funding for the design and
construction contract amount ($1.35 million) from the
Washington State Department of Ecology. If you have any
questions concerning this project, contact Project Manager
Ryan Larson at 206-431-2456 or Ryan.Larson@TukwilaWA.gov

State of bridges in Tukwila
At the May 24 meeting of the
Transportation and Infrastructure
Services Committee, the Public
Works Director presented
Council with updates on the
State of Tukwila's Bridges. The
information was based on
inspection reports, the 42nd
Avenue South Bridge Replacement
Project, and the draft BNSF
Alternative Access Study Project.
Tukwila owns 23 bridges (16
traffic bearing and 7 pedestrian).
Routine inspections are conducted every 24 months to identify
and determine funds needed for bridge replacement and
rehabilitation. Tukwila maintains all of these bridges using
City staff and dedicated funds for small repairs, while applying
for grants to fund the larger repair/maintenance projects.
Based on inspections, the 42nd Avenue S Bridge Replacement
is a top priority for the City. With a sufficiency rating of 7.5
out of 100, it is reaching
the end of its service life.
The 42nd Avenue S Bridge
Replacement Project is in
the initial design phase.
Community outreach
regarding this project will
take place over the summer.
To learn more about the program or a specific bridge project
and sign up for e-mail updates, visit TukwilaWA.gov/42nd. If
you have any questions, please contact Adam Cox, Project
Manager, at 206-431-2446 orAdam.Cox@TukwilaWA.gov.

last remaining structure on the BAR corridor to be seismically
upgraded. Razz Construction, Inc., began construction in mid -
October 2020. The crew has completed the major construction
on Boeing Access Road and
has opened all lanes to traffic.
However, there still may be
times of temporary lane closures
during working hours to finish up
the project. Completion of the
seismic upgrade is scheduled for
late June 2021.
