Tukwila lies in the heart of the Puget Sound region, sitting 12 miles south of downtown Seattle, 17 miles north of downtown Tacoma, just east of Seattle-Tacoma International Airport, and at the crossroads of two major interstate highways, I-5 and I-405. Its central location makes Tukwila an ideal site for over 1,800 businesses.

Tukwila (whose name in local Native American dialect means "land where the hazelnuts grow") encompasses single and multi-family residences, heavy and light manufacturing, and service-oriented companies, as well as one of the Northwest’s largest concentration of retail businesses.
