Tukwila is a compact, well‑located Seattle‑area hub with easy freeway and transit access, close to Sea‑Tac airport, riverside trails and parks, a diverse dining and brewery scene, and Southcenter Mall — short-term assignments feel convenient, active and never boring.
About 10–20 miles from downtown Seattle and Bellevue for museums, concerts, nightlife and outdoor escapes, Tukwila makes an excellent multi-week base that can easily grow into a longer-term home.
