Signs play an important part in how Tukwila functions. They help people navigate the City and advertise goods and services that are available. The City is currently in the process of updating its sign regulations. Although the City has changed significantly in the last 25 years, the current sign regulations have been in place since 1982.
Updated Sign Code Now Available
An ordinance updating and expanding the Sign Code regarding the placement, display and use of signs and other visual communication devices within the City was adopted at the Council meeting on August 16, 2010.
