It's going on now...
and it's important
for our community!
Have you answered the survey yet? It only takes about 10 minutes.
This once -a -decade event is more than just a survey. We pay taxes to the
federal government. Census -generated statistics tell the federal government
where to allocate that money for supporting the basic building blocks of
healthy communities. Education, healthcare, public safety, food and housing
programs, emergency services, infrastructure - these all require funding.
From Medicaid to school -lunch programs to veterans' assistance, where are
these services best placed? The Census numbers tell them!
An accurate Census count is also vital -
To make sure that our representative government reflects all residents
and population shifts, leaving no communities under -served.
For businesses as they plan their future growth and expansions.
To philanthropic foundations and non -profits who rely on the Census
data for making decisions about where they can do the most good.
D For providing social demographics about communities, to increase
knowledge about how our country is changing and to eliminate
missed opportunities.
By law, the Census Bureau cannot share your information with other
government agencies. Your answers can only be used to produce statistics...
and accurate numbers do matter! It is estimated that for Census 2020,
approximately $2,000 in federal funds will
be allocated for each person counted - per
year, for the next 10 years. An undercount
produces lower numbers that could keep
Tukwila from receiving its rightful funding4N A.

Volunteer opportunity to serve on City committee
The City Council is seeking to fill a resident position on the
Public Safety Bond Financial Oversight Committee. This
committee independently represents taxpayers concerning
the City's expenditure of revenues received from the sale of
general obligation bonds. They review how the Public Safety
Plan bond proceeds are being spent, meeting two to four
times per year. You can read more about the committee and
find the application to apply at TukwilaWA.gov/boards. Have
additional questions? Call Laurel Humphrey at 206-433-8993
or email Laurel.Humphrey@TukwilaWA.gov.
Tukwila adopts temporary eviction moratorium
In accordance with the Governor's statewide suspension of
residential evictions, the City Council enacted an eviction
moratorium [Resolution 1983] in Tukwila that will last during
the coronavirus civil emergency. Economic impacts of this
public health crisis may result in difficulty paying household
expenses, including rent. The moratorium also extends to
fees for late payment. Exceptions exist if a tenant's actions
threaten the health or safety of others.
How traffic calming/residential safety measures
are addressing pedestrian safety issues
Speeding and other negative traffic conditions on residential
streets can create safety hazards and greatly affect neighbor-
hood livability. Tukwila's City Council adopted and funded the
Neighborhood Traffic Calming Program (NTCP) for 2019-2020.
Accomplishments in 2019 for traffic calming include:
• Four new Rectangular Rapid Flashing Beacon crosswalks
• Two newly -marked crosswalks with signs
• Twelve new radar signs
• One new school zone beacon with school crossing
• Thirteen new LED stop signs
• One 3-way stop to all -way stop conversion
• Four additional speed cushions on 53rd Avenue S
• Adding/upgrading 25 streetlights
• Installation of 54 parking restriction/prohibition signs
The Public Works Street division has also begun deployment
of pedestrian crossing safety flags at selected locations
throughout the City, as demonstrated here by SAFE-T-REX on
Southcenter Blvd at 62nd Avenue South.
Police chief seeks community representatives
Tukwila's Police Department is seeking volunteers to serve as
non -law enforcement representatives to an independent in-
vestigative team. These community members will be selected
by and serve on behalf of the Chief of Police. Tukwila Police is
part of the Valley Independent Investigative Team, consisting
of investigators from south end law enforcement agencies.
The state's Law Enforcement Training and Community Safety
Act requires representatives to serve in the event of officer -
involved shootings or other deaths and serious injuries where
officers are involved. Enabling community members to assess
whether the investigation process is conducted in a trust-
worthy manner enhances accountability. Want to know more
about the duties of the representatives, the selection process
and criteria, and the requirements for background check, con-
fidentiality agreements and basic training? Please email Phi
Huynh at P.Huynh@TukwilaWA.gov, or call 206-433-1808.

Meeting challenges to stay
healthy and supportive
My fellow community member, let me share that I feel privi-
leged to live in this caring, wonderful community of Tukwila.
I am thankful for each of you. In this time of crisis, we will
all need to lean on each other. Social media can provide an
opportunity to communicate, check in, and make sure no one
feels isolated from our greater community.
Our community has been dealing with exceptional challeng-
es in relation to COVID-19. I'm proud of the steps our City,
County and State have taken to minimize impacts. I am also
profoundly sad for those affected by illness or family loss. My
hope is that everyone is taking the necessary steps to protect
themselves, their families and the community. More challeng-
es will likely occur. Let's continue to support one another and
reflect on what we have together. This ability to come togeth-
er in times of challenges allows us to persevere and thrive.
Although our lives have been disrupted in many ways, the
fundamental business of the City must still go on. In February
we held our annual Council Retreat with a focus on preparing
for the 2021-2022 Biennial Budget. The budget is the plan
that specifies how City staff will accomplish specific goals and
objectives set forth by the Council.
City Council's biggest responsibility is budget oversight, and
our role in the overall process is vital. We provide policy guid-
ance at the beginning of the process, then confirm through on-
going monitoring that the budget meets that policy direction.
Our retreat meeting was very productive, providing us the
opportunity to review roles and responsibilities. Following
discussion about best budgetary practices and state legal
requirements, we reviewed how we budget in the City of
Tukwila. These principles include fund types, revenues and ex-
penditures, financial policies, and historical data. Additionally,
every two years the City updates a six -year forecast of reve-
nues and costs, allowing us to better plan for Tukwila's future.
The public also has a role: to provide input during the building
of the budget and then to observe and report on the results,
verifiable in the execution of our City services. The work of
building the budget has already begun and will continue to
unfold over the coming months. I encourage you to stay in-
formed and involved.

CONSTRUCTION PROJECTS

53rd Avenue South residential street improvement
Work continues on this project that extends from Interurban
Avenue South to South 144th Street. It included sidewalks,
illumination, a new storm drainage system, water and sewer
upgrades, and undergrounding of overhead utilities.
Seattle City Light (SCL) has finished undergrounding the power
main and service connection works. SCL is currently removing
their overhead wires, and Comcast is scheduled to finish doing
the same. Following removal of the utility poles from the
project site by CenturyLink, the construction contractor can
complete the remainder of the road project. Physical comple-
tion of this construction project is projected for May 2020.

2019 Small Drainage Projects
This annual program saw completion of several surface
water improvements at various locations throughout the city.
Funded by residential surface water fees, each year's drainage
improvements are prioritized by urgency of the repair and
availability of funds. Generally smaller in scope, these projects
are bundled into one contract that renders them more eco-
nomical through competitive pricing.
Among the work completed in last year's contract was the re-
pair and/or installation of several pipe liner sections to extend
the useful life of some of our older drainage pipes. The liners
are resin -saturated felt sleeves - matching the pipe's diameter

Following 2019's
invasive species
control, this public -
private collaboration
to restore the Green
River shoreline
started 2020 with
mass plantings.
The City's contractor installed more than 3,000 plants at
the NC Machinery site and more than 2,500 plants at the
Southcenter Plaza site. Plant species include a variety of
evergreen and deciduous trees and shrubs, all native to the
Pacific Northwest. Next: we watch them grow, continuing to
monitor invasive species regrowth and plant survival.

- which are blown in and steam -cured in place. Once cured,
the liner becomes the structural equivalent of the host pipe
with no internal joints. Its smoother interior surface actually
improves flow through the pipe. Once lined, these pipes are
expected to provide 20 to 50 years of additional useful life -
with limited maintenance.
Another 2019 project was access improvements along Gilliam
Creek near the Boulevard Apartments on Southcenter Boule-
vard. These access structures will allow maintenance crews to
safely clear debris from regional storm drain structures during
heavy rains. This will reduce future risk of a blockage, causing
further damage to Gilliam Creek or nearby properties.
THE HAZELNUT
PROJECT DESIGN J
Boeing Access Road (BAR) over Airport Way Bridge
This is the only remaining structure on the BAR corridor that has not
been seismically upgraded. Design has been completed, and construc-
tion of the seismic retrofit is currently being advertised. There will be
multiple stages and traffic revisions on both BAR and on Airport Way
during the construction. The plan is for the bridge to be restricted to
one lane in each direction during the work on the topside. A minimal
lane shift on Airport Way is anticipated when working under the bridge.
The City received 100% funding for the construction from the Federal
Bridge Replacement Advisory Council.
Contact: Project Manager Adam Cox at 206-431-2446,
orAdam.Cox@TukwilaWA.gov
Sewer Lift Station No. 4
The City is in the process of finalizing the design of the electrical up-
grades for this lift station. Outdated electrical components there occa-
sionally fail, creating stress and a hazardous environment for the City's
maintenance crew and anyone else involved. The upgrade will enhance
both the safety and the efficiency of the system. The construction phase
is projected to commence in early summer 2020.

53rdAvenue South lane changes
Multiple requests for safer pedestrian access to the Interurban Metro
Park and Ride brought about a recently completed design study. As a
result, several street revisions will be made to improve traffic circulation
and pedestrian safety.
53rd Avenue South (between 52nd Ave S-S 137th St) will be changed
from a two-way street to a one-way northbound (downhill) street. The
improvements will feature a bicycle lane and a designated buffered
pedestrian walkway. 52nd Place will be one-way southbound (uphill).
52nd Avenue South and South 137th Street will remain bidirectional.
This change is anticipated to be made sometime over the summer.
Contact: Traffic Engineering Project Manager Scott Bates at
206-433-0179, orScott.Bates@TukwilaWA.gov
Stormwater Quality Retrofit Project
Stormwater runoff from roadways is a significant contributor to water
quality degradation and hazardous to salmon habitat. The runoff brings
copper, zinc, crumb rubber and petroleum from automobiles into creeks
and rivers. The City and its consultant evaluated several public outfalls
that discharge roadway runoff directly into the Green/Duwamish River.
The four selected sites are at the intersection of Tukwila International
Boulevard & SR 599, East Marginal Way at the outfall on the north side of
the river, at Fort Dent Way, and on Interurban & South 58th Street.

National Pollutant
Discharge Elimination
System (NPDES) Update
Storage of solid and food
wastes... AKA garbage
Leaking garbage cans, waste containers without
lids, scrap piles, and junk vehicles and equipment
can cause polluted runoff from your property to
drain to surface and groundwater. Accumulated
garbage can attract rodents, rats, mosquitoes and
other pests that are also health hazards. Tukwila
requires residents to follow these best practices:
Do not let garbage accumulate.
Keep garbage, recyclables, and food
wastes in covered or lidded containers.
Dispose of waste, using a curbside pick-up
service or taking it to a solid waste transfer
station.
Recycle as much as possible.
The King County Solid Waste Division website is
a great source of specific information regarding
disposal, including:
• Materials exchange
• Pet waste
• Residential hazardous waste
• Yard waste collection
• Composting kitchen and yard waste
To find this information and more, please go to
KingCounty.gov/SolidWaste/ and click on the

Mayor's Message
In recent weeks the City of Tukwila has been
very engaged responding to the coronavirus
pandemic during these truly unprecedented
times. We're deeply involved and well-con-
nected to the regional response, as well as
the statewide and federal levels of pandemic -related efforts.
City services have been greatly altered to ensure necessary
social distancing, the best collective practice for slowing the
transmission of the virus. City facilities are currently closed,
with staff providing services to our residents from home when
possible. The Community Center is closed, as well as our picnic
shelters and playgrounds. We know it's a hardship for some
families, but we're adhering to best practices for keeping our
community healthy. Our Police and Fire Departments are oper-
ating at normal levels; community members shouldn't hesitate
to call 911 if there's an issue. During this time, the City is not
shutting off utilities, nor charging late fees. Similar to the Gov-
ernor's moratorium order, Tukwila's City Council also recently
passed a resolution calling on a moratorium on rental evictions.
City staff has been working with the Tukwila School District,
assisting in continuing the District's weekly feeding program
for students. Additionally, staff is working directly with many
seniors in our community to ensure basic needs are met. We
have been communicating directly with houses of worship and
businesses throughout Tukwila as well. The response to the
pandemic continues to move rapidly, with additional devel-
opments coming nearly on a daily basis. We've assembled a
list - included inside this Hazelnut edition - of many resources
available to residents, employees and businesses. See more
resources and direct links online at TukwilaWA.gov/COVID.
We recognize the toll this is taking on our community members.
Concerns for the family's health, personal finances, long-term
educational issues, basic needs being met - these are priority
matters to many. The City is working to be a partner with the
community wherever possible, supporting our residents and
businesses. As we do our part responding to this global pan-
demic, we ask that you please do yours. Continue to stay home,
leaving only for medical reasons, groceries or critical work.
We are all in this together.
