Editing Bryn Mawr-Skyway, Washington (section)

==Geography==
Skyway lies in an "unincorporated island"<ref name=island>{{citation|url=http://www.kingcounty.gov/exec/PSB/Annexations/West%20Hill.aspx|title=West Hill}}</ref> bordered to the north by the city of [[Seattle]], to the west by [[Tukwila, Washington|Tukwila]], and to the south and east by [[Renton, Washington|Renton]].<ref name=identityproblem>{{citation|author=Bill Virgin and Tricia Duryee|url=http://www.seattlepi.com/neighbors/skyway/|title=People try to overcome their 'identity problem'|publisher=[[Seattle Post-Intelligencer]]|date=July 17, 1999|access-date=2010-11-09}}</ref> The neighborhood was mostly developed just after [[World War II]] as affordable housing for returning veterans. The area remains an affordable area close to the high employment areas of Renton and Seattle. The name "Skyway" may be derived from the area's siting on a high ridge in western Washington's hilly terrain, a name that echoes the [[Welsh language|Welsh]] "[[Bryn Mawr (disambiguation)|Bryn Mawr]]" (also the name used for a village and several other places), which means "big hill".<ref>[http://www.geiriadur.net/index.php?page=ateb&term=?&direction=ew&type=all&whichpart=exact Geiriadur Cymraeg - Yr iaith fain: Welsh-English / English-Welsh On-line Dictionary]</ref>

Skyway's main business districts lie along Renton Avenue South, with one center between 68th Avenue South and 74th Avenue South, including a small casino, bowling alley, and a grocery outlet, and another district between 75th Avenue South and 78th Avenue South, including a bank branch, the fire station, multiple churches, some auto shops, and the public library (a branch of the [[King County Library System]]). There is also a small business district centered at Martin Luther King Way South ([[Washington State Route 900|State Route 900]]) around South 129th Street. Skyway Park, with baseball fields, a creek and wetlands, and picnic areas, is located near the center of Skyway.{{Citation needed|date=January 2019}}
