Southcenter Parkway Extension Is Open!
Tukwila, WA – November 21, 2012 – The City of Tukwila opened Southcenter Parkway from South
180th Street to South 200th St. on Wednesday, November 21, 2012. Shoppers and commuters
driving northbound on I-5 can now use the Orillia Road freeway exit to get to Tukwila’s Southcenter
District. This new road is another reason why shopping is easier at Southcenter.
“We are very pleased to be able to open this new five-lane arterial road, which will provide much
needed access to Tukwila’s Southcenter District and Westfield Southcenter Mall,” stated Mayor Jim
Haggerton. “In addition, this new road opens up development for hundreds of acres of land that will
help us meet our goals by attracting thousands of new jobs.”
A formal ribbon cutting ceremony will be held in early December, 2012 and the public will be invited.
More details are available on the City’s website at: www.TukwilaWA.gov/southcenter.html.
