About Tukwila, Washington
Tukwila is a city of 21,798 people in King County, 10 miles south of Seattle. Duwamish people lived in this valley for centuries before the brothers Joseph and Stephen Foster walked out from Illinois beside an oxcart and became its first white settlers. They claimed land where the Black and White rivers met to form the Duwamish. That spot was called Mox La Push, Chinook jargon for "two mouths," because spring floods sometimes pushed the little Black River backward into Lake Washington.
The valley's soil grew hops, hay, fruit and vegetables, and the river was full of salmon. The valley had 199 people in 1880 and 2,062 by 1892. In 1902 an electric interurban railway was built through the valley, and it ran until 1928. In 1908 Joel Shomaker, a newspaperman from Seattle who made his home in the valley, led the push to incorporate. The Seattle Post-Intelligencer ran a naming contest, the name Tukwila came out on top, and the town incorporated on June 23, 1908, with Shomaker as its first mayor. Del Adelphia, a well-known magician, sat on the first city council.
“The electric train, which could achieve speeds of 60 to 70 miles an hour, greatly suburbanized the area by allowing commuters a chance to have a home in the country and a job in the city.”
- Two mouths, then noneAfter a major flood in 1906, crews spent years dredging and straightening the Duwamish. To the south, the White River was turned out of its old course, and the Green River took over its channel. In 1916 the Montlake Cut joined Lake Washington to Lake Union and lowered the lake, and the Black River vanished. Mox La Push was left with no mouths at all.
- The Father of TukwilaDuring the Indian War, Joseph Foster worked as a scout and packer, and afterward a small blockhouse called Fort Dent went up near his cabin. He became a territorial legislator in 1858 and sponsored the bill that created a Territorial University in Seattle, which grew into the University of Washington. The site of his home is now part of Fort Dent Park, and the Foster neighborhood and Foster High School carry his name.
- Southcenter opened in 1968After World War II, Tukwila residents fought off plans that would have filled the city with heavy industry, and they chose to build on commerce instead. When I-5 and I-405 were planned to cross beside the city in the 1960s, planners began a large shopping mall. Southcenter Mall opened on July 31, 1968, with 116 stores on 30 acres, making it one of the state's biggest malls at that time.
