Bryn Mawr-Skyway (pronounced from Welsh for "big hill") is a census-designated place (CDP) in King County, Washington, United States. The population was 15,645 at the 2010 census. Bryn Mawr-Skyway is the only CDP in the Seattle metropolitan area to have reported a majority-minority population in the 2000 Census. Since that time, the area has grown even more diverse. As of the 2010 census, the cultural makeup of the Skyway area is almost evenly balanced between White, Black or African American, and Asian community members. ==Geography== Skyway lies in an "unincorporated island" roughly between the cities of Seattle, Tukwila and Renton, Washington. Though it is surrounded by major municipalities, its limited infrastructure and low-income demographics have made it an unattractive area to incorporate. It is frequently along the shortest route of travel for commuters using local streets to enter Seattle from the southeast. 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 correspondence with a high ridge in western Washington's hilly terrain, a name that echoes the Welsh “Bryn Mawr” (also the denomination used for a village and several other places), which means "big hill"〔(Geiriadur Cymraeg - Yr iaith fain: Welsh-English / English-Welsh On-line Dictionary )〕 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 and a bowling alley, and another between 75th Avenue South and 78th Avenue South, including a bank branch, the fire station, 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 (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. The Bryn Mawr-Skyway CDP is made up of many neighborhoods, including Lakeridge, Campbell Hill and Earlington, in addition to the neighborhoods of Skyway and Bryn Mawr. The community is sometimes called "West Hill".〔 Bryn Mawr-Skyway is located at (47.494571, -122.236557). According to the United States Census Bureau, the CDP has a total area of , of which is land and (5.09%) is water. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Bryn Mawr-Skyway, Washington」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
