Tukwila Reviews
Rating 3.63 out of 5 105 reviews
Tukwila is a neighborhood, community, and city of diversity, culture, and exploration that can lead you to meet individuals that are open to who you are. As well as, it is a place where there are many shops, stores, and other public spaces that are continuing to make it a space open for people of color and anyone with different backgrounds etc!
It's one of the cheaper places to live in the Seattle area, and due to having three transit centers of Tukwila Park & Ride, Tukwila Light Rail Station, and Southcenter, there is a lot of public transit options to get just about anywhere in south King County or up to Seattle. It has a nice feel with the housing being somewhat secluded and feeling like not in a super urban area, but you walk a few blocks and you're at southcenter or Interurban ave. The new library is great and there's a lot of development happening right now which has it's pros and cons. It's historically one of the most diverse places in the country. It also has been seen as a very unsafe place. It's not anywhere near as bad as the stats make it sound due to the per capita stats being inflated by Tukwila not having many people live there but a lot of people working.
Very close community, convenient and close to both Seattle, Southcenter Mall, and SeaTac International Airport; you will meet lots of different types of people here coming for different reasons (including refugees and immigrants). However, not very safe. Infrastructure isn't the best.
