More Summer Fun

Putting our resources where our residents are!This year Tukwila is proud to present

twice as many See You in the Park events for your summertime entertainment. In alignment with the

City’s priority-based budgeting, Tukwila’s Parks and Recreation Department has determined that

neighborhood parks and the residents that visit them are their priority for this community.

Because of this, the Department has decided to end Family Fourth at the Fourth

(an event largely attended by non-residents).

MARCH/APRIL 2019 3

In 2017, Tukwila initiated its formal high school internship program. Our goal then and now is to expose Tukwila’s young people to government service and potential careers.

As of April 1, we are recruiting for the third year of this successful program. The timeline is as follows:– Applications are due by 5:00pm on Tuesday, April 30. – Interviews will take place between May 7 and May 17.– Applicants will be notified of their determination by May 27.– Internships will be active between July 8 and August 30.

Each department will host an intern, providing students a broad opportunity to learn about City departments: what they do and how they work together to serve our residents and community. These students are exposed to the diverse, living wage careers available in city government. Getting real-world work experience develops skills that are transferable across many fields and work places, and between government service and private industry.

If you know someone who would be interested in this opportunity, tell them to apply! Requirements for a few positions are students age 18 or older, but most require students at least 14 years old and enrolled in high school. High school seniors are eligible for these internships. Allan Ekberg, Mayor

The Internship application is available on the City’s Employment Opportunities website. I look forward to hosting our third year of high school students this summer, supporting them on their road to success. To learn more about the High School Intern Program, contact Community Engagement Manager Niesha Fort-Brooks at Niesha.Fort-Brooks@TukwilaWA.gov, or 206-454-7564.Another excellent tool in the career toolbox is the opportunity for construction trade apprenticeships. The surge of current construction highlights the need for trained professionals in all building trades. I encourage you to pick up a copy of the 2019 Construction Apprenticeship Guidebook at City Hall, or find it online at TukwilaWA.gov/apprentice. If you know anyone whose life could be positively impacted through an apprenticeship, please point them in this direction!

RAIN BARRELS & WORM BINS

THE HAZELNUT4

by Kathy Hougardy, 2019 Council President

One of the things that I have loved about Tukwila since the day we moved here in 1993 are the eclectic

neighborhoods. A one-hundred-year-old farmhouse (like the one we live in) might be next to a newly-constructed home, with mid-century modern homes and other types on the same street. Each type of house has its own character – and its own type of yard. Because one of my favorite leisure activities is gardening, I love looking at the different types of gardens and landscaping – and tending my own. Working in the yard helps me clear my mind and focus on the beauty of nature, whether sunshine or rain. I take great pleasure in my garden and enjoy watching it change throughout the seasons.

City Council Actions – Highlights from October 2018—February 2019

It should then come as no surprise that the City of Tukwila’s Backyard Wildlife Festival is one of my favorite city events during the year. This year the Festival will be held on Saturday, May 11. The Backyard Wildlife Festival is a celebration of nature and the outdoors, focusing on the habitats we nurture in our own backyards. I encourage you to come celebrate our community and enjoy music, art, local experts, education, kids activities, arts & crafts, plant sales, tasty treats, and more! In addition, that morning there will be a CommUNITY 5K Run and Walk along the riverside trail, so you can get your steps in while admiring the scenic views and wildlife activity of the Duwamish River.

The Council will have a table set up at this event, and we look forward to having you drop by and share anything on your mind. Bring your questions and share your thoughts about items our Committees are working on this year. We look forward to seeing you on May 11, rain or shine.

Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow… somewhere else.At its March 18, 2019 meeting, the City Council recognized City staff for the exceptional response to the recent snow

events. Tukwila Emergency Manager Jason Konieczka expressed appreciation for the professional services provided to the community by Police, Fire, Parks and

Recreation, and the Public Works Department.

The City of Tukwila recently began construction of two new pedestrian crossings on Tukwila International Boulevard near South 141st Street. These two new crossings will include pedestrian-activated Rectangular Rapid Flashing Beacons, marked crosswalks, pedestrian refuge islands, advanced signing, lane rechannelization and ADA ramps. Construction is scheduled for completion in early June.

The 2019 Annual Asphalt Overlay and Repair Program is scheduled to be under construction in late spring/early summer and will include roadway resurfacing with ADA improvements at various locations throughout the City. The preliminary 2019 location list includes:u South 128th Street, east of Military Roadu South 137th Street, west of Macadam Roadu 52nd Avenue South, from 53rd Avenue South

east to Interurban Avenue Southu South 200th Street between Orillia Road and

Southcenter Parkway

The 2019 Overlay and Repair Program will also manage the scheduled repairs at Fort Dent Park, and repairs to Andover Park East near Baker Boulevard from damage caused by a water main break in late 2018. For inquiries about either of these projects, contact Scott Bates at 206-431-2193 or Scott.Bates@TukwilaWA.gov.

Administered by the EPA and DOE, the National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) program addresses water pollution by authorizing governments to perform many aspects of the program, including permitting and enforcement.

Tukwila

Stormwater runoff is generated from rain and snowmelt events that flow over land or impervious (not allowing fluid to pass through) surfaces, such as paved streets, parking lots, and building rooftops. The runoff picks up pollutants like trash, chemicals, oils, and dirt/sediment that can harm our rivers, streams, lakes, and coastal waters. Benefits of effective stormwater runoff management include protection of wetlands and aquatic ecosystems, improved water quality and flood control.Tukwila has an aggressive commercial storm drainage inspection program that targets illicit discharges to a drainage system. However, the pollution in our creeks, wetlands and rivers is often a result of individual human activity, which is also subject to enforcement.

Did you know…?l It’s OK to wash your vehicle at home, but it is illegal to

allow soapy water (including biodegradable soap) to enter a storm drainage system. Either wash your car on a water-permeable grassy area away from storm drains, or simply take your vehicle to a commercial car wash.

l When using pesticides, weed control or fertilizers, be sure to follow the manufacturer’s directions. Over-applied chemicals can wash into a local storm drains, contributing to storm water pollution.

l While the sanitary sewer system drains to King County’s treatment plant, storm drains on city streets do NOT. Tukwila’s storm water drainage eventually drains to the Green/Duwamish river. Only rainwater and snow melt are to go down a storm drain. Sediment or dirt in storm water is not acceptable.

l Regardless of the quantity involved, if you spill or release any hazardous material, you are responsible for its immediate cleanup. If your spill enters a storm drainage system, call 206-433-1860.

Proper DisposalIf you have hazardous household materials that you’d like to get rid of, you can take them to Seattle’s Transfer Station for free.

Location: 130 South Kenyon Street Days/hours: Thursday–Saturday, 9:30am–4:30pm THERE IS NO FEE FOR HAZARDOUS WASTE DISPOSAL

An Accessory Dwelling Unit (ADU) is a small, self-contained residential unit built on the same lot as an existing single family home. Often referred to as a mother-in-law apartment, examples

of ADUs include an apartment over a garage, a basement apartment, and an addition to an existing home – separate living quarters with its own kitchen and bathroom. Do you have an existing ADU on your property? If so, Tukwila has changed its regulations, and registration with the City is now required. There is an amnesty period through June 2019 to get a courtesy inspection from Tukwila’s Building Department. If your ADU was built without City approvals, additional code flexibility is available for applications received by this June. Owners can register their ADUs – under more flexible zoning rules – by filling out a no-fee registration application at TukwilaWA.gov/ADU-App. More information is available at TukwilaWA.gov/ADU-FAQ. Questions? Please contact the Community Development Department at 206-431-3670.

MARCH/APRIL 2019 7

On Monday, March 25, the Tukwila City Council gave the final go-ahead to build Fire Station 51 and to initiate the Justice Center project. This is a significant milestone for the City’s Public Safety Plan and a very exciting time in Tukwila. The City thanks the voters of Tukwila who passed the Public Safety Bond and the community for its commitment in supporting the work of our first responders.

For those passing by the site on Tukwila International Boulevard, construction at the Justice Center will be visible in April. Installation of project fencing at the site will be followed by demolition of the existing structures. The construction team will then be working on site clearing and grading, foundations and initial structure work. The project team will return to Council for permission to move forward with the remaining construction in May. The facility is expected to open in early 2021.

For each of the businesses displaced by the Justice Center, the City was able to achieve agreements that included financial assistance, permit credit, reduced rent and other incentives.

Work on Fire Station 51 will also begin in April, though the community will not see much movement on the site beyond project fencing until May. During this time, the team will be performing necessary engineering

and other shop drawings, as well as mobilizing the various trades. Fire Station 51 will be located at South- center Parkway and 180th, and the community is encouraged to check out its progress over time. The station is expected to open in late summer 2020.

Like other jurisdictions and the private sector, the City is experiencing challenges in this very hot construction market that have resulted in cost escalation. Although Fire Station 51 came in above the revised project budget, savings from the Justice Center site were able to offset the increase. This has allowed the project team to move forward with both projects without adding to the overall program. An analysis of impacts associated with delaying these projects shows that such a delay would only add significant costs to the overall Public Safety Plan.

Fire Station 52, to be located on City Hall campus, is currently in the schematic design stage. (See rendering below.) Designated as the City’s future headquarters fire station, this facility will be accessible from 65th Avenue South near Tukwila Park.

Additionally, the City’s combined Public Works facility, located between East Marginal Way and Tukwila Boulevard south of S 112th Street, is in the master planning process. The goal for this project is to initiate improvements to one or more of the existing buildings later this year, and create a multi-year strategy to fully develop the site.

For more information about these projects, please visit TukwilaWA.gov/PublicSafetyPlan.
