Tukwila, WA College Degrees: Find Accredited Schools in the Seattle Area

Published: November, 2010

A mere 10 miles from Seattle, the suburb of Tukwila, Washington is one of the Seattle metro area's many comfortable suburban towns. With a population of 16,992, Tukwila contributes to the Seattle metro area's total population of 3,203,314. Seattle itself (569,101) is Washington's largest city, followed by Tacoma (176,664) and Spokane (177,196).

Like Seattle and other metro area cities, Tukwila is located off of the southern tip of Puget Sound, making sailing, boating, and other water sports popular. Tukwila residents also have access to the northeastern region's great skiing and mountain sports, and British Columbia is only a few hours away.

Technology dominates the local economy, with industries like aerospace having a long history there, and biotechnology booming in recent years. Digital imaging and computer software are large sectors of the technology industry in Seattle. International trade is also a growing source of jobs in the Seattle area in recent years.

The largest employers in the Seattle metro area are:
  • The Boeing Company
  • Port of Seattle
  • Alaska Air Group Inc.
  • Microsoft Corporation
  • University of Washington

Tukwila and Seattle are also home to several great art and design universities. Design is an important part of the character of the city of Seattle, and graduates from art and design programs will find support and opportunity in the Seattle metro area after a degree program. Degrees like interior design and fashion design are popular choices in the area, especially in areas so close to the city, like Tukwila.
