Tukwila: Southcenter, Sea-Tac, and the Museum of Flight
Tukwila occupies the flat valley floor where the Green River, the Duwamish River, and Interstate 5 converge south of Seattle. The city takes its name from the Lushootseed word for hazelnut. It incorporated in 1908, making it one of the older suburbs in King County, though its character changed fundamentally in the late 1960s with the opening of Southcenter Mall.
Southcenter, which opened in 1968, remains one of the largest shopping centers in the Pacific Northwest by gross leasable area and draws customers from across western Washington. The surrounding Southcenter area has evolved into a regional retail, hotel, and office corridor. Westfield, the mall's operator, expanded the center in 2008 with an open-air extension called The Village at Southcenter.
The Museum of Flight, located at Boeing Field just north of the city line, houses the largest independent non-profit air and space museum in the world. Its collection includes a Concorde, the original 747 prototype, Air Force One aircraft used by Presidents Eisenhower through Nixon, and the first U.S. presidential jet. Boeing's original 1910 "Red Barn" building, the company's first factory, forms part of the museum campus.
Seattle-Tacoma International Airport sits immediately west of Tukwila across Interstate 5 in the city of SeaTac, and airport-related businesses fill substantial sections of Tukwila's commercial strips. The Duwamish Longhouse and Cultural Center, operated by the Duwamish Tribe, opened in 2009 on West Marginal Way across the river in Seattle but reflects the tribe's historic ties to the Tukwila area.
Population is approximately 22,000, with a substantial daytime working population that increases several times over. Foster High School in the Tukwila School District is one of the most linguistically diverse public schools in Washington, with students speaking more than 80 languages at home.
