| Originally inhabited by the Duwamish tribe who lived on the Black and Duwamish rivers, the area was called Tukwila, which means "land where the hazelnuts grow." Once a farming community, now trendy shops and large, big name retailers are totally changing the impact of the area. Sitting at the crossroads of two major interstate highways, I-5 and I-405. Its central location makes Tukwila an ideal site for approximately 2,000 businesses. Tukwila, population 17,000, enjoys a retailing geographical advantage few other communities can match. The city retail hub is located at the northern end of a broad, flat valley served by heavily traveled Interstate Highways, local freeways and busy arterials all coming together, intersecting and moving beyond.
Tukwila is less then 10 minutes from the Seattle-Tacoma International Airport, which handles more than 14,000 visitors per day, and no more than 20 to 30 minutes from such major metropolitan cities as Seattle, Tacoma and Bellevue
In Tukwila, about 40% of adults are married. A relatively large number of people in Tukwila live by themselves. The city is known for its large population of single adults. Interestingly, Tukwila is known for having more men than similar cities. It is diverse culturally and has a tremendous economic span.
