Where Two Rivers Run Through
Tukwila's water damage splits by elevation. Down where the Green River becomes the Duwamish, around Southcenter and the warehouses, the flat ground ponds in heavy rain and water finds its way under doors. The homes on the hills face the familiar list: old water heaters, supply lines and roof leaks. Tukwila also has a lot of apartments, where one unit's failure can reach the next.
How Tukwila Relates to Renton
Tukwila and Renton meet along I-405 and the valley floor, and plenty of Tukwila residents shop, work and commute through Renton every day. The housing and the water are much the same: river-valley lowlands, older homes on hillsides and dense multifamily buildings near the highways.
Tukwila in Brief
- Housing: apartments near the freeways and Southcenter; older homes on the hillsides
- Water pattern: flat-ground ponding and outside water; leaks that cross between units
