Join the City of Tukwila and the Seattle Southside Chamber of Commerce for an important Tukwila Business Roundtable focused on proposed updates to Tukwila’s B&O tax and business license fee structure.

These proposed changes may directly impact the cost of doing business in Tukwila. If you own, operate, or manage a business in Tukwila, this is a meeting you should make time to attend.

This roundtable is your opportunity to hear directly from City staff, understand what is being considered, ask questions, and share how these changes could affect your business, your employees, your operations, and your ability to grow. The City needs to hear from the businesses that will be impacted, not after decisions are made, but while feedback can still help shape the conversation.

Your voice matters, but it can only be considered if you are at the table.

Business owners and representatives from all industries and business sizes are strongly encouraged to attend. Whether you are a small business, home-based business, storefront, restaurant, service provider, nonprofit, or larger employer, your perspective is important. This is a chance to speak up, get informed, and help ensure Tukwila’s business community is represented in decisions that affect the local economy.

Representatives from the City of Tukwila’s Economic Development and Finance teams will be in attendance to provide information, answer questions, and gather feedback from the business community.

City representatives include:

Derek Speck
Economic Development Administrator, Mayor’s Office

Aaron BeMiller
Finance Director, Finance Department

Adam Schierenbeck
Senior Fiscal Coordinator, Finance Department

Tony Cullerton
Deputy Finance Director, Finance Department

Together, the City team will provide context around the proposed changes, explain financial and business licensing considerations, and engage directly with Tukwila businesses to better understand questions, concerns, and potential impacts.

This is your opportunity to be informed, be heard, and be part of the conversation before next steps move forward.
