Funded improvements must be durable and permanent, such as solid benches, pavilions, permanently fixed artwork, and durable garbage cans. Due to restrictions with the available funding, items like movable chairs, minor landscaping, or hanging lights purchased from a normal store are not eligible. 

These improvements will likely be made in three places:

  • The commercial area of Renton Avenue S. Click here to see map.

  • The commercial area on Rainier Avenue S near 115th  Place. Click here to see map.

  • The new Black Panther Park scheduled to open at Renton Avenue S and 75th Avenue S (these funds will help pay for artwork that has already been planned for the park)

For overall information about participatory budgeting in the Skyway and West Hill area, click here. Current ideas for this project are based on past feedback from the Skyway community, other projects, and feedback from a recent Skyway Community Center survey. Learn more about the Community Center project.

Please share with your fellow community members!
After the survey has finished, we will review the results and develop a plan to put the most popular options in place as much as feasible. We anticipate construction in 2026-2027.
