That's because the city doesn't clear the drains often enough. There's too much fallen leaves and other debris blocking the flow and this is also happening all over the city. Too much crap is collecting and plugging up most of the street drains in the entire city.

Your request has been received and has been assigned to the Tukwila Public Works Department. We will send you an update when your request has been resolved.

Thank you again for using Tukwila Works to help to make our community a better place by notifying City staff of this issue.

Tukwila Public Works Department

Your request regarding a stormwater/sewer issue has been closed. This flooding is caused by a WSDOT drainage ditch that is backing up and flowing onto Southcenter Parkway. WSDOT has been notified.

Thank you for partnering with us to keep Tukwila a great place to live, work and visit!

Tukwila Public Works Department
