A Message from the Mayor Welcome to Auburn, one of the older cities in the region with a big heart and innovative culture. We are the City of Parades, from our children's Fourth of July Parade to the largest Veteran's Day Parade west of the Mississippi. Our Good 01' Days Parade has gone on for more than a century and our Santa Parade fills the streets with children and the air with song as we celebrate and light the city tree. Welcome to the cultural center for arts and entertainment across two counties. We are home to the largest performing arts center in the area, with the state's largest Thoroughbred racing track at Emerald Downs on one end of town and the White River Amphitheater on the other. We have a thriving live theater in the heart of downtown. Pacific Raceways is not far away, and the SuperMall is close at hand.
Pete Lewis Not to mention the Auburn Municipal Golf Course and the University of Washington's home course, Washington National, just minutes away from work or home. Welcome to the transportation center of a region where, in truth, all roads lead to Auburn. We are in the center of the region where all corridors north and south, east and west, pass through our city with commuter trains and express buses already a reality here. The Auburn Airport (Dick Scobee Field) is the third largest commuter airport in the state.

Honoring veterans is an annual tradition in the City of Auburn. For the past 47 years, the Veterans Day Parade has acknowledged the sacrifices made by American veterans, past and present, with one of the largest processions west of the Mississippi. The mile-long parade typically lasts about two hours and features marching bands, ROTC units, re-enactors, active military units and military vehicles from all eras. The 48th edition of the tradition will be Nov. 9, 2013 on Main Street.
BIGGER, GREATER LIBRARY Auburn ushered in its renovated, expanded public library last September on Auburn Way South. The expansion added 5,000 square feet, most noticeably in the form of a glass-paneled addition that expands into a portion of the parking space on the east side of the building.
King County residents supported a $172 million capital bond in September 2004 to pay for the project and other library expansions and renovations. 1102 Auburn Way S. (253) 931-3018 www.kcls.org/auburn

AUBURN WELCOMES NEW ANIMAL SHELTER Auburn’s community animal shelter opened right on schedule Jan. 1 at its new home on A Street Southeast. That means that in addition to the shelter on A Street and Auburn once again having its own animal control officer, all pet licenses are now issued through the City, not King County. On Dec. 28, the Auburn Valley Humane Society celebrated with an auction and ribbon cutting at
Emerald Downs. The event raised more than $9,000 for the shelter. Even though the doors are open, Shelter Director Kelley Durham said there are still needs to be met. “We mostly need dog and cat food, cat litter, dog toys, cat toys, bleach and stainless steel food bowls,” Durham said. “As for volunteers, we need foster homes, volunteers to answer
phones, dog kennel cleaners and cat condos cleaners.” In February 2010, Auburn Mayor Pete Lewis, Councilman John Partridge, a community veterinarian and a concerned citizen met to talk about the future of animal care in the Auburn. For more than 30 years, the City had contracted the sheltering of its homeless animals with the services of the re-
gional program provided by King County Animal Control (KCAC). In 2010, budget shortfalls forced KCAC to change its service model and shift administrative costs to the participating member cities. The change produced unsustainable costs and resulted in reduced services. For more information or to help, visit auburnvalleyhs.org.
