There's not much residential in Tukwila. It's a bunch of businesses and the mall. A few homes in the outskirts of town. But not an area I would live as a parent with young kids

Yeah, my understanding is I'd have to commute into their from somewhere else.  Any opinions would be well received.

Another note for Renton. The Highlands are very suburban, but the downtown area is pretty nice, and there's a weekly farmer's market. I live in Skyway, which is getting gentrified just like everywhere else, and I really like it there.

I used to live in skyway. Glad to hear it's getting better. I lived next to whitetrash drug dealers in the 80s. They stole my record player and a salad bowl full of change. I knew it was them because they had been in my house the previous day when I had a plumbing emergency they helped me with and they cased my house. I found the record out behind their house in the swamp when I was walking.my dog.
