High Class Town, Expensive, Fun, A Must See!

I just completed a tour of Tukwila, and I have to say, I couldn't find a better place to bring the family for a weekend of fun. The water park is amazing! Rent a kayak and cruise Tub Lake, which is toward the NW end of SEATAC airport. If you want something a bit more thrilling, rent a ski boat and take the kids on your own wild rides! At the North East end of Tub Lake, boating is not allowed, and is reserved for freshwater lingcod fishing and burbot. We caught our limit of two lings, and cooked them at the adjoining campsite. Halibut is no match for these fish!
Tukwilla sports some of the most famous international cuisines. Cooks who have graduated from culinary arts school in Paris seek the fine (but very costly) eateries in Tukwila. While in Tukwila, don't miss the LeTraninit Opera house on old highway 99, beside the most lively sports bar in town, Trudy's Bistro, Bullets, and Bratwurst. Ride the mechanical bull, and win the Urban Cowboy award! We were fortunate enough to grab tickets before they sold out, and were in awe listening to Luciano Pavarotti, backed by the now much older Edda Dell'Orsoe who thrilled us with her original vocals in "The Ecstasy of Gold".
We wrapped up the evening at the renowned Stebner Food Pavilion, boardwalk and arcade near Foster High School...treated the kids to the finest, organic ice creamery in the Northwest! Largest waffle cones I've ever seen! The kids played on the monumental array of rides, trampolines, electronic gaming, and even tried the virtual spacewalk. Better than Disneyland by a long shot.
The only con I can think of regarding Tukwilla is how costly it is to either be entertained there or live there. It's definitely a town for the elite, much as Beverly Hills is. I wish I could relocate there, but it is beyond my fiduciary capability right now.
