How can the City better connect with you?

FEEDBACK
Throughout the year, the City shares a wide variety of
events, activities, notices, and community updates
with Tukwila residents. To reach as many people as
possible, we use multiple communication
channels —from printed materials to digital tools. As
social media and online platforms continue to
evolve, we are always looking for new and better
ways to stay connected with our community.
Effective communication is essential to strong
community engagement, and we want to ensure
we're meeting your needs. That's why we're
Launching a short survey to learn how you prefer to
receive information from the City.
Do you read the Hazelnut? Are our social media
channels where you get most of your updates? Do
you check our website for information? How do you
usually learn about City projects, programs, and
services?
We invite all Tukwila community members
to share their input. Please take a moment to
complete the survey and Let us know how we can
communicate with you more effectively and your
preferred mode of communication. Your feedback
will help shape how the City shares information
moving forward.
