Skyway Resource Center—a monthly services event
The Skyway Resource Center is a partnership that is creating a new facility in the former US Bank building in Skyway. Under the leadership of Renton Innovation Zone Partnership (RIZP), the partners also have been hosting a monthly resource fair for community members who need food, diapers, transportation resources, health insurance, PPE and other services.
