Bloodworks bloodmobile at City Hall

Auburn, Washington sits between Seattle and Tacoma, giving it a practical home base for people who want access to major job centers without living right in the urban core. The city blends established neighborhoods with newer developments, so you’ll find a range of living options from single-family homes to apartments and townhomes near shopping and transit. It has an easygoing, everyday feel, with tree-lined streets in many areas and quick access to green space when you want a break from the road.

Downtown Auburn centers on local dining, services, and community events, while The Outlet Collection draws shoppers from across the region. For commuting, State Route 167 and nearby Sounder rail service make it straightforward to reach Kent, Renton, Tacoma, or Seattle, depending on your schedule. Many residents also appreciate the parks and trails along the river corridor and the nearby Muckleshoot Casino for concerts and entertainment.
