Tukwila, WA is in the southern end of the Seattle Metropolitan Area. Tukwila is only minutes east of Seattle-Tacoma International Airport. Tukwila surrounds Interstate-5 Exit 154. Exit 154 is also mile 0 of Interstate-405.

Tukwila is 12 miles south of downtown Seattle and 17 miles north of Tacoma on Interstate-5 One of Tukwila’s major claims to fame is South Center Mall which is located at I-5 Exit 154 and I-405 Exit 1.

Being located at the confluence of three rivers, a major rail location, and at the junction of two of Seattle’s major freeways, Interstate-5 and Interstate-405 has meant that Tukwila is a great place of industry to locate. That is one reason Tukwila has more jobs than population.

A Little History

Originally inhabited by the Duwamish tribe who lived in longhouses on the Black and Duwamish rivers, the area was called Tukwila, which means "land where the hazelnuts grow." The name did not become official until 1908 when the Seattle P-I held a name the new town contest and Tukwila won, incorporating under that name later in the year.
