A ceremony for local student Artists was held at Monday night’s (May 8, 2023) Tukwila City Council meeting, and according to attendants, it was a “masterpiece.”

Winners from the 2023 Waste Management and City of Tukwila Earth Day Art Contest received a certificate of achievement from Mayor Allan Ekberg.

Many students brought their family and friends, and even some of their teachers who encouraged them to participate in the contest!
