The population was 6,114 at the 2010 census. The city's name was taken from its close proximity to the runways at Fairchild Air Force Base and Spokane International Airport[3].[4] HistoryAirway Heights was officially incorporated on June 28, 1955. Growth in the City was spurred by the opening of the Airway Heights Corrections Center by the Washington State Department of Corrections in 1992 and the opening of the Northern Quest Resort & Casino by the Kalispel Indian Tribe in 2000. More recently, with the addition of a new Wal-Mart Supercenter, several new apartment buildings and housing developments, and the expansion of the Northern Quest Casino, Airway Heights is continuing to grow. Also, the Spokane County Raceway Park is located in Airway Heights, and features major automobile events, including drag racing, stock car racing, and occasional monster truck shows. GeographyAirway Heights is located at {{Coord|47|38|37|N|117|35|11|W|region:US-WA_type:city(4500)}} (47.643648, -117.586491).[5] According to the United States Census Bureau, the city has a total area of {{convert|5.63|sqmi|sqkm|2}}, all of it land.[6] The community lies in the northeastern corner of the flat Columbia Plateau. While the plateau tends to be flat, the terrain locally is quite rugged as it is part of the Channeled Scablands. The "heights" in the city's name references its location at a higher elevation than the city center of Spokane. Traveling into Airway Heights along Highway 2, the main road into the city, from Downtown Spokane, one will climb over 500 feet. Highway 2 is the main east-west thoroughfare in the city. It connects Airway Heights with Fairchild to the west and Spokane to the east. Interstate 90 runs just a few miles south of the city.

ControversiesIn July 2015 Mayor Patrick Rushing was asked to resign by the city council because he called President Barack Obama a "monkey man" and First Lady Michelle Obama a "gorilla" on his Facebook page. Rushing initially refused, stating he was not a racist.[16] This follows an earlier incident in 2015 in which Rushing resigned his position as a school bus driver after he was charged with a misdemeanor for leaving the scene of an accident.[17] In August 2015 Rushing submitted his resignation. He stated that "I find it difficult to continue due to my declining health issues." He was succeeded by then-Deputy Mayor Kevin Richey.[18] References1. ^{{cite web|title=2017 U.S. Gazetteer Files|url=https://www2.census.gov/geo/docs/maps-data/data/gazetteer/2017_Gazetteer/2017_gaz_place_53.txt|publisher=United States Census Bureau|accessdate=March 28, 2019}} 2. ^{{cite web|url=http://geonames.usgs.gov|accessdate=2008-01-31|title=US Board on Geographic Names|publisher=United States Geological Survey|date=2007-10-25}} 3. ^{{cite book | title=Washington State Place Names | publisher=University of Washington Press | author=Philips, James W. | year=1997 | page=5 | isbn=0-295-95498-1 | edition=8th}} 4. ^{{cite news | url=https://news.google.com/newspapers?id=qm9OAAAAIBAJ&sjid=7vkDAAAAIBAJ&pg=5680%2C2356401 | title=Architect builds historical interest with trivia | work=Spokane Chronicle | date=March 16, 1989 | accessdate=2 May 2015 | author=Sullivan, Julie | pages=S9}} 5. ^{{cite web|url=https://www.census.gov/geo/www/gazetteer/gazette.html|publisher=United States Census Bureau|accessdate=2011-04-23|date=2011-02-12|title=US Gazetteer files: 2010, 2000, and 1990}} 6. ^{{cite web|title=US Gazetteer files 2010 |url=https://www.census.gov/geo/www/gazetteer/files/Gaz_places_national.txt |publisher=United States Census Bureau |accessdate=2012-12-19 |deadurl=yes |archiveurl=https://www.webcitation.org/64vfLAeJ2?url=http://www.census.gov/geo/www/gazetteer/files/Gaz_places_national.txt |archivedate=2012-01-24 |df= }} 7. ^{{cite web| url = http://www.nws.noaa.gov/climate/xmacis.php?wfo=otx | title = NowData – NOAA Online Weather Data | publisher = National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration | accessdate = February 15, 2012}} 8. ^{{cite web| url = http://www.ncdc.noaa.gov/oa/climate/online/ccd/pctpos.txt | title = Average Percent Sunshine through 2009| accessdate = November 16, 2012| publisher = National Climatic Data Center}} 9. ^1 {{cite web|url=https://www.census.gov/programs-surveys/popest/data/tables.2017.html|title=Population and Housing Unit Estimates|accessdate=March 24, 2018}} 10. ^{{cite web|url=https://www.census.gov/prod/www/decennial.html|title=Census of Population and Housing|author=United States Census Bureau|accessdate=August 3, 2013|deadurl=yes|archiveurl=https://www.webcitation.org/6YSasqtfX?url=http://www.census.gov/prod/www/decennial.html|archivedate=May 12, 2015|df= }} 11. ^{{cite web|title=Population Estimates|url=https://www.census.gov/popest/data/cities/totals/2015/SUB-EST2015-3.html|publisher=United States Census Bureau|accessdate=June 19, 2016|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20161019182931/https://www.census.gov/popest/data/cities/totals/2015/SUB-EST2015-3.html|archive-date=2016-10-19|dead-url=yes|df=}} 12. ^1 {{cite web|title=American FactFinder|url=http://factfinder2.census.gov/faces/nav/jsf/pages/index.xhtml|publisher=United States Census Bureau|accessdate=2012-12-19}} 13. ^{{cite web|url=http://www.cheneysd.org/cms/lib04/WA01000473/Centricity/Shared/District%20Boundary%20Map%20-%20excluding%20Whitman%20County.pdf|publisher=Cheney Public Schools|title=Boundary Map|year=2009|accessdate=October 2, 2012|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120901125308/http://cheneysd.org/cms/lib04/WA01000473/Centricity/Shared/District%20Boundary%20Map%20-%20excluding%20Whitman%20County.pdf|archive-date=2012-09-01|dead-url=yes|df=}} 14. ^{{Cite web|url=http://cawh.org/about-us/community/healthcare|title=City of Airway Heights : Healthcare|website=cawh.org|access-date=2018-10-29}} 15. ^{{Cite web|url=http://cawh.org/about-us/community/transportation|title=City of Airway Heights : Transportation|website=cawh.org|access-date=2018-10-29}} 16. ^{{cite news|title=Mayor in Washington Refuses to Resign over Alleged Racist Post about Obamas |work=Q13Fox News |url= http://q13fox.com/2015/07/14/mayor-in-washington-refuses-to-resign-over-alleged-racist-post-about-obamas/ |accessdate=16 July 2016}} 17. ^{{cite news|title=Airway Heights Mayor Says Bus Incident Tied to Politics |work=The Spokesman Review |accessdate=16 April 2015 |url=http://www.spokesman.com/stories/2015/apr/16/airway-heights-mayor-says-bus-incident-tied-politi/ }} 18. ^{{cite news|title=Embattled Airway Heights Mayor Patrick Rushing resigns|work=The Spokesman Review |date=18 August 2015 |url=http://www.spokesman.com/stories/2015/aug/18/embattled-airway-heights-mayor-patrick-rushing |accessdate=17 October 2015}} External links
