Census and NOAA figures for the city of Tukwila in King County, not the metro, with a source for each.
The median home in the city of Tukwila was built in 1981, about the same as the U.S. median of 1980 and older than the Washington median of 1985. That is in line with the King County median of 1983.1 About 48% of Tukwila's housing units were built before 1980, close to the national share, and 14% since 2010. The largest single share, 31%, dates from 1980-1999. That makes it much the same age as King County as a whole (46% built before 1980).1 On houses from the 1980s and 1990s, polybutylene supply lines, builder-grade windows and first-generation openers are the usual items a contractor confirms before quoting. Owner-occupied homes in Tukwila are older than rentals: a median build year of 1974 against 1985.1 Where owner-occupied homes skew older, a repair-versus-replace conversation is the usual starting point rather than a like-for-like swap.
Most housing units in Tukwila are not detached houses: 53% are in buildings of five or more units and only 36% are detached single-family homes.1 With most units in multi-family buildings, condo and HOA approvals sit alongside the permit for interior work. Owners and renters are roughly balanced in Tukwila, with 40% of occupied homes owner-occupied, below the Washington share of 64%.1 The median owner-occupied home in Tukwila is valued at $489,000 (ACS), below the Washington median of $564,600. Within King County the median is $859,900, so Tukwila sits below it.1 With values below the state median, phased scopes - the essential work first - are a common way to keep a project sensible.
The Seattle Tacoma Intl Ap station averages 25 nights a year at or below 32°F - a short freeze season.2,3 Hot days are uncommon: about 4 days a year reach 90°F.2,3 Annual precipitation is about 39 inches, with 6 days a year bringing an inch or more.2,3 Heating dominates the year: about 4,376 heating degree days against 265 cooling degree days (base 65°F).2,3 In a heating-led climate, insulation and air sealing carry most of the energy-code weight for any work that opens the envelope.
Tukwila is about 4 miles from the ocean or Gulf coast in a straight line.4,5 Proximity to salt air makes fastener grade and corrosion protection part of every exterior quote.
