A major catalyst for an influx of new businesses has been the building of the new Sounder commuter rail station in our central business district. It has also been the impetus for the development of a forward thinking downtown plan. The Auburn area also leads the region in job creation. Our three cities are in a key location with respect to Seattle and Tacoma, the major population hubs in the Puget Sound region. We have access via the Valley Freeway and Interstate 405 to the e-commerce and business centers of Redmond, Bellevue and Kirkland.
Quality of life is important to our community members in south King County.
The Auburn School District is outstanding. We have the Green River Community College just east of town. Medical care facilities include the state of the art Auburn Regional Medical Center, which serves as a nexus for many new clinics and medical centers. Residents of our area have health care opportunities second to none. The number of our citizens will be increasing dramatically in the coming years.
