About us
Auburn is the center of the largest industrial complex in the northwest and sits in the middle of the major north-south east-west routes of this region. With two rail roads and close proximity to the Ports of Seattle and Tacoma, Auburn was identified by the Department of Commerce this year as one of only 15 Innovation Partnership Zones in Washington State. With continued job expansion and above average retail growth, Auburn enjoys a vibrant and sustainable business environment. Auburn is about one hour from Mt. Rainier, Crystal Mountain and Snoqualmie Ski Area. It is also home to several biking and walking trails, including the White and Green River trails and the Interurban Trail. Auburn has approximately 30 parks of all sizes for the whole family to enjoy. There are two golf courses in Auburn: the Auburn Golf Course and Washington National Golf Club. Auburn has reason to be proud of its schools. They pride themselves in providing an excellent education that produces students who have a love of learning and a sense of responsibility. Auburn boasts over two dozen elementary, middle, and high schools, each one unique, but all offering a supportive learning environment designed to foster each student's natural abilities. Green River Community College provides the serious student a quiet, natural environment in which to study. This is a community that puts learning and education first. Come establish a sense of community in one of the oldest cities in the state of Washington. With unique architecture, combined with historic preservation and renovations, Auburn has retained the look and feel of a real downtown. Auburn's unique historic downtown still provides a gathering place for numerous events.
