  • PED 2020-06-01 Item 1B
    City of Tukwila Allan Ekberg, Mayor INFORMATIONAL MEMORANDUM TO: Community Development and Neighborhoods FROM: Brandon Miles, Business Relations Manager CC: Mayor Ekberg DATE: May 26, 2020 SUBJECT: City Branding Efforts and Issues ISSUE Discussion on marketing and branding of the City, including a discussion on issues the City is having with branding “Tukwila.” BACKGROUND In December of 2017, the City Council adopted a motion endorsing the Tukwila Brand Blueprint, Brand Checklist, and Brand Style Guide, prepared by Total Destination Marketing1, for usage in the City efforts to promote the City to tourists. As part of the brand development process, Total Destination Marketing conducted online and phone surveys throughout the Puget Sound region, focus groups, and quantitative research on what name should be used to promote the City. The top names included Tukwila, Southcenter, and Seattle Southside. Tukwila emerged as the strongest of the three candidates within the greater Seattle region. Most survey respondents had strong, positive reactions of the Tukwila name compared to Southcenter and Seattle Southside. Additionally, many well-known tourist amenities, such as Starfire Sports, and Westfield Southcenter, were identified as being in Tukwila by Puget Sound survey respondents. Total Destination Marketing recommended, and the City Council supported, the use of the Tukwila name for the City marketing and tourism promotion activities. As part of the branding efforts, the City adopted a new wordmark and style guide to be used for certain City activities. The wordmark does not replace the City seal. In July of 2019 staff outlined to Community Development and Neighborhoods (CDN) how the tourism word mark would be used versus the City Seal (copy of the July 15, 2019 CDN memo is attached).

  • Position-Specific Rugby Skills Handbook About This Handbook
    POSITION-SPECIFIC RUGBY SKILLS HANDBOOK ABOUT THIS HANDBOOK Thank you for downloading the Ruck Science position-specifc rugby skills handbook. This handbook is designed for amateur rugby players, coaches and parents as a guide to creating tailored training programs that meet the needs of each individual position on a rugby team. The handbook will take readers through the specifc physical and technical demands of each position as well as the training associated with building the requisite skill set. We would like to use this opportunity to thank several organizations without whom this handbook would not have been possible. Firstly, the Canadian Rugby Union who created a similar guide in 2009. This version has drawn a lot of inspiration from that original work which was itself a derivative of a manual set up by the English Rugby Union. Secondly, the writing team of Tudor Bompa & Frederick Claro whose trans-formative work Periodization in Rugby was also published in 2009. “Periodization in Rugby” is, without a doubt, the most complete analysis of periodized training for amateur rugby players and should be essential reading for all rugby coaches who are working with young players.

  • Stmainaction STMA Northwest Regional Conference
    STMAinaction STMA Northwest Regional Conference features top sports turf professionals EATTLE HOSTED some sports turf VIPs July 21-22 as the Sports Turf Managers Association partnered with the Intermountain, SNorthern California, Oregon, and Pacific Northwest chapters to produce an STMA Northwest Regional Conference that featured sports turf specific education, a trade show, hands-on demonstrations, and tours of some of the city’s major league facilities. The sponsors handed out Seattle Mariner tickets to the more than 175 attendees who enjoyed a beautiful evening at the ballpark while watching the home team beat the Chicago White Sox in extra innings. Attendees earlier that day had walked on the field (outside the lines of course!) while meeting with head groundskeeper Bob Christofferson and his crew during a tour of Safeco Field. Another highlight was a drop-in visit from new Seahawks coach Pete Carroll during the group’s visit to the Virginia Mason Athletic Center, the team’s practice facility and office in Renton. Carroll snuck up on an unsuspecting Seahawk fields & grounds manager Sean Vanos as he was leading a tour of the cool site on the shores of huge Lake Washington and told the crowd how much he and his team appreciate the turf care. On another stop the group visited and lunched at Starfire Sports, a non-profit soccer complex in Tukwila, which was most impressive. The facility is open 24/7 and sees action from Major League Soccer’s Seattle Sounders and every other level imaginable. Here the group had a chance to meet with vendors and their number included several nation- ally known sports turf advocates, including Lynda Wightman of Hunter Industries, Boyd Montgomery of Toro, Christiaan Arends of Barenbrug USA, Jay Warnick of World Class and Charlie Vestal of Turface Athletics.
