Nathan Phillips is an executive of the YMCA in South King County. He says poverty looks different in the suburbs than it does in the city. He took Region of Boom reporter Carolyn Adolph on a tour of the Kent Valley and beyond. They stopped in Skyway, in unincorporated King County. It's home to many newly-arrived immigrants.
