Green Tukwila Partnership

Green Tukwila Partnership Welcome to the Green Tukwila Partnership! We will work to restore and maintain 53 different places in Tukwila over the next 20 years—and we need your help!

A new partnership between the City of Tukwila, non-profits like Forterra, EarthCorps, and Dirt Corps, Duwamish Alive Coalition and the Tukwila community, to care for public parks and natural open space across the city. A new partnership has begun between the City of Tukwila, non-profits like Forterra, EarthCorps, and Dirt Corps, and the Tukwila community, to care for public parks and natural open

space across the city. By planting trees and other plants, weeding, and joining your neighbors outside, you can make sure we have healthy, safe, and beautiful parks to enjoy into the future. Want to do more? Is there a Tukwila Park or natural area in the city that you think could use a little love? We are gathering a team of volunteers to adopt different parks and help lead the effort to keep them healthy and green. You can learn about trees and environmental restoration, bring your neighbors together around fun projects, and be a local leader. We are especially looking at North Wind’s Weir, Duwamish Hill Preserve, Tukwila Community Center, Riverton Park, the Duwamish Shoreline (section just north of the I-5 overpass), Thorndyke Elementary School, Crestview Park, Crystal Springs Park, Tukwila Park, and Bicentennial Park, but we want to hear your favorites, too. Email us to talk about ways to get involved.

We want you! Dirtcorps is hiring a new crew and there is a huge project in Tukwila. So this is your chance to learn about Urban Forest and how to take care of them!

We are excited to announce that our RainWise 2026 Paid Adult (18+) Green Jobs Training Program application is now open until midnight on August 23, 2026. Application linked here: https://linktr.ee/thedirtcorps

Join us this fall for an eight-week immersive program that will provide hands-on education and fieldwork experience in the green workforce sectors of ecological restoration, green stormwater infrastructure, and urban forestry. We look forward to learning more about you, your green career goals, and how best we can support you in achieving them! No prior experience is required for acceptance.

At Dirt Corps, our mission is to provide access to green careers for all people, working towards a healthy environment, engaged communities, and a sustainable economy throughout the Puget Sound region. Through accessible, flexible, and culturally-relevant education, Dirt Corps implements a training model where people with all types and levels of expertise work alongside each other to contribute to projects that improve community health and resilience.

300+ alumni have been successfully trained in best management practices for public, commercial, and residential spaces, while providing direct maintenance to critical green infrastructure facilities, urban forestry corridors, and restoration projects.

This program is facilitated in partnership with King County RainWise, Green Tukwila Partnership, and the Rose Foundation. Funding for this project is provided by the U.S. Department of Agriculture, Forest Service, in partnership with State of Washington Department of Natural Resources, Urban and Community Forestry Program. These institutions are equal opportunity providers.

Input Needed for Critical Area Update

The City is working to update regulations concerning critical areas within Tukwila. Critical areas, such as streams, wetlands, and steep slopes, provide ecosystem services to filter water, provide habitat for species, filter our air, and provide shade and cooling for residents. This update of regulations will incorporate new guidance from the state and balance preserving and enhancing existing critical areas with allowing further development for jobs and housing. Community members can let their voices be heard by taking the survey (https://www.surveyhero.com/c/d9tshuqp). Anyone who takes the survey is eligible to win a $50 Saars gift card!

You can also stay up to date with future updates by visiting the project webpage and signing up for updates (https://www.tukwilawa.gov/departments/community-development/community-planning/critical-areas-ordinance-update/). The public review draft of the regulations is anticipated by the end of July. Feel free to email [email protected] if you have any questions!
