2014 Auburn Residents’ Guide

A Message from the Mayor Auburn. What thoughts and images does the word evoke to you?

Home? Inviting? Creative?

Inclusive? Changing?

Home.

Webster’s Dictionary defines Home as "the place (such as a house or apartment) where a person lives; a family living together in one building, house, etc., or a place where something normally or naturally lives or is located." A home is so much more than the definition in the dictionary.

Home should bring to mind a place of comfort, security and opportunity.

Inviting.

We have grown from a sleepy little town of 12,000 back in the late 1960s to a city of regional significance with approximately 74,000 people in 2014. My hope is that when you think of Auburn, you think of your home with pride. Every city has opportunities to do better - Auburn included, but there's so much goodness, too.

We are

Nancy Backus home to Emerald Downs, The Outlet Collection, Auburn Municipal Golf Course, and Green River Community College as well as our Les Gove Community Campus. We are also home to The Boeing Company and numerous aerospace related businesses, as well as unique shops and restaurants.

Creative. The cultural arts community is thriving in Auburn! Parks, Arts & Recreation offers a vast array of opportunities, including the BRAVO Series, Comedy at The Ave, and various classes to bring out the artist in all of us. We have a Downtown

Sculpture Gallery that was partially funded through Local Revitalization Financing funding received from the State of Washington and 4Culture King County Lodging Tax. Inclusive.

Auburn received the Inclusive Community designation from the National League of Cities in 2008. It's more than just a sign that you'll notice as you drive into Auburn. We are a diverse community. Our focus of “One Auburn” is set to celebrate not only our similarities but our differences. We will continue to find opportunities to bring people together and learn from each other. We are always going to be better together than trying to make it on our own. We partner with Auburn School District, Green River Community College, and numerous regional and national organizations to ensure that we are doing

the right things for our citizens.

Changing.

Auburn has some exciting opportunities ahead. We have the attention of those looking to locate their business in our city, as well as those looking to move their families here. The next few years will bring much change to our downtown, as well as to other areas within the city. Will there be some growing pains?

Absolutely! Auburn is over 120 years old, and the one constant during that time has been change.

Your city government is here to serve you! My door is always open, and I look forward to the opportunity to meet with you. I am proud of our city, I am proud of the work that we have accomplished, and I am thrilled with the opportunities that lie in front of us!

Nancy Backus Mayor of Auburn

Resources, Boys and Girls Clubs, White River Museum, Junior Achievement and YMCA result in an array of opportunities where students thrive academically and socially.

The Auburn community consistently supports the local schools by passing bonds and levies. Students who attend Auburn High School will start the 2014-15 school year in a modernized and reconstructed, world-class high school because voters supported a bond for the district’s oldest high school.

Voters also recently approved a six-year technology levy to update and expand technology in our district.

The Auburn School District champions its diversity. The richness of the cultures that represent our student body is an asset to student learning.

2014 Auburn Residents’ Guide

Among the many benefits of living in Auburn is the proximity to one of the nation's premiere music venues, the White River Amphitheatre.

Located just a few miles away from downtown Auburn, the Amphitheatre consistently draws the music world's biggest acts for their summer season.

Among the acts that have played the venue are Sting, No Doubt, Rush, Journey, Lynyrd Skynryd, Alice Cooper, Train, Iron Maiden, Queensÿrche and Mötley Crüe as well as touring mega-festivals such the Mayhem Festival and The Vans Warped Tour.

Auburn Public Transportation King County Metro Transit http://metro.kingcounty.gov/ Metro Transit is the local transit operator for King County, providing local bus services that link destinations within the community and provide regional connections at the downtown Auburn Transit Center and the Auburn 15th ST NW Park & Ride. Metro Transit has more than ten bus routes serving Auburn, including some DART routes. Two transit routes have teamed up to provide Auburn residents and visitors access to some of Auburn's most popular destinations. Metro routes 910 and 919and provide service to the Auburn SuperMall, YMCA, Auburn Library, Auburn Senior Center, Downtown Auburn, and the North Auburn Business District.

DART DART (Dial-A-Ride Transit) offers variable routing in some areas within King County. By using vans that can go off regular routes to pick up and drop off passengers within a defined service area, DART service may allow you to arrange for transit service closer to a location. DART does not go door-to-door. It operates on a fixed schedule, but one that has more flexibility than regular Metro Transit buses. The cost for DART service is the same as regular bus rides on Metro and is available to everyone. To use DART, call toll-free 1-866-261-DART(3278) or 1-800-246-1646 (TTY).

ACCESS Metro Transit also operates ACCESS Transportation, a paratransit service providing door-to-door, shared-ride van transportation within most of King County. The Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) requires curb-

to-curb paratransit service as a safety net for persons whose disabilities prevent use of accessible noncommuter, fixed-route bus service. Complementary paratransit service is intended to offer a comparable level of service to that provided by regular bus service.

SOUND TRANSIT (SOUNDER TRAIN) Sound Transit operates the Sounder commuter rail service on the Tacoma-Seattle route via the BNSF Railway. Sound Transit provides weekday peak-hour trips northbound to Seattle in the AM and southbound to Tacoma in the PM. Additional special-event service to and from games for the Mariners, Seahawks and Sounders FC is offered on selected weekends.

Currently, nine trains operate in each direction between Tacoma and Seattle each weekday completing the commuter rail service specified in Sound Move, Sound Transit's Phase I investment package.
