The City of Tukwila is negotiating with Tarragon, LLC to create a special place in the heart of a neighborhood. We call this place Tukwila Village.
The City of Tukwila owns six acres in a prime location for a mixed-use, neighborhood center. Tukwila Village will include a branch of the nationally recognized King County Library System and the City's neighborhood police resource center in combination with other retail, office, live/work, or residential space.
Located at the intersection of Tukwila International Boulevard and South 144th Street, Tukwila Village is within 10 minutes of downtown Seattle, 5 minutes to SeaTac Airport, and walkable to the new light-rail station. The neighborhood around Tukwila Village is one of the most unrecognized values in the Seattle office and residential markets.
Looking for a new location for your business?
Office and retail businesses are encouraged to express
your interest to us. We would love to include your specifications in the design of Tukwila Village.
Project Status:
10/23/09
On October 19, 2009 the City Council approved changes to the City's zoning which increases allowed building heights and reduces required parking for Tukwila Village and surrounding properties.

We encourage citizen input on the Tukwila Village development through the following opportunities:

and cultural spaces you would like to have there. Your answers will help us tailor the development to your needs.
♦ Fill out the Tukwila Village survey online.
♦ Download a Spanish version of the Tukwila Village survey.
♦ Download a Somali version of the Tukwila Village survey.
(2) On 7/16/08 we held a community meeting in which the top 2 developers presented their proposals.
(3) As Tarragon develops their plan, they will organize one or more
public meetings or focus groups for the developer to hear citizen suggestions.
