Ellen, Thanks for this very excellent survey. I hope that we get lots of participants.

Well I just took the survey. Hope others do as well. Emily

Every time I click on the survey link, a questionaire for online schools comes up, no survey though...

I just took the survey. Would love to see a grocery store along Interurban, either along casino row, or north of there in the vicinity of Jack in the Box and BECU. Would like to have something more readily accessible between Old Tukwila Hill and Allentown.

Kim's idea is kind of interesting. Would not have thought of that. I have heard the same rumor that Sharon Mann has heard about Tukwila Trading Company. If, in fact, that store closes then TIB seems like a better location. Remember the Larry's that was on the north side of S 144th..then moved to the south side of 144th and then eventually replaced with Tukwila Trading Company? For years, there has always been a grocery store in that area, probably due to the high density population there and the main thoroughfare. Interurban is also a main thoroughfare. It is a bit of a drive for those who live on the Hill and that do not shop at Target or Seafood City.
Marie and I usually visit Safeway or Fred Meyer but would certainly prefer to see our tax dollars stay in Tukwila.

I also like Kim's idea of something along the Interurban corridor.

Kim & Chuck-
We actually used to have a grocery store on Interurban Ave. S. The store was about where Galliano's is now. It was a little before my time, but I remember people talking about how much they missed having one there. Maybe with a little more dense population in the area something could work in that area again. If you check out the photographs in City Hall, there should be one with the store in it.

Well I have lived here in Tukwila for about 30 years and I remember when Southcenter was quite a bit different, including a small grocery store and a drug store in there. In addition, there was a grocery store on Military Road where it connects with Pac. Highway where the car rental place is now.
