Tukwila Offers Something for Everyone 4 rating By Anonymous ( May 10, 2018) As a vibrant suburb of Seattle, Tukwila, Washington is an excellent place to live for people of all ages and backgrounds. Situated just a few miles from Seattle-Tacoma International Airport, Tukwila is a bustling area with a myriad of eating, dining, and shopping opportunities. I ...Read More ts close proximity to the airport and one of Boeing's biggest manufacturing plants provide a bevy of economic opportunities for both skilled and non-skilled workers in the aviation and service industries.

I love living in Tukwila because of all the fun entertainment options. The massive Southcenter Mall is the best area in Tukwila, with its Acme Bowling, large movie complex, and more. The Tukwila Family Fun Center boasts an impressive variety of arcade games, plus mini golf, go-carts, and bumper boats. The Starfire Sports Complex is home to many big-time soccer matches and other recreational activities. Living near Puget Sound and the mountains surrounding the Seattle metro area provide endless opportunities for boating, hiking, skiing, and more. There is never a dull moment when living in Tukwila, Washington! Read Less
