A Message from the Mayor
Nancy Backus
health clinic open for two more years. The organizations, businesses, individuals and your City staff stepped up to say loud and clear that Auburn will not allow those that need our help to be turned away. So from the bottom of my heart I say thank you! We are making Auburn the place where our veterans and their families will be welcomed with open arms. We have many faiths in Auburn, and we engage with

our houses of worship often on how we can work together. We will continue to enhance our current partnerships and develop new ones. We must work together to reduce crime and increase our peace of mind. To ensure that our families have enough food in their homes. To support our local businesses and bring in more. We have to find a way to do this together. I call this way of thinking “One Auburn”, where we celebrate not only our similarities but our differences. We will continue to find opportunities to bring people together and learn from each other. I hope that you enjoy this year’s residents' guide and that you are able to take advantage of the many great The Auburn Reporter Residents' Guide is a special section published by the Auburn Reporter.

Auburn is one of 281 cities in Washington and more than 20,000 in the United States. We are the 15th largest city in Washington. We encompass about 30 square miles within our borders and are part of two counties. These aren’t just numbers. These numbers represent people. Families. Us. We are a community, and a great one. As your mayor, I have had an increased opportunity to meet so many more of you and can say without a doubt that you all have affirmed my belief in what a great community we are. Nothing has proven that more than watching how so many of you stood up with me and your city council to keep our public

The district and the communities it serves work together to ensure the continuation of these high standards. The ASD encompasses a 62-mile area bridging two counties, King and Pierce. The district serves approximately 75,000 residents in Auburn, Algona, Pacific, Lake Tapps and the unincorporated areas of King County and is committed to providing its 15,277 students a world-class education. All Auburn schools offer free, full-day kindergarten to strengthen early learning. Middle school students benefit from a relevant, individualized

learning environment to accelerate learning. The district provides comprehensive course offerings of advanced placement, honors, career and technical education and intervention classes for high school students. Our strategic plan emphasizes the district’s commitment to academic achievement, community engagement and resource management. All district staff work daily to implement the goals and objectives of the strategic plan. We consistently have some of the highest test scores in the state for reading and mathematics. Our schools have received numerous awards recognizing academic achievement. Our partnerships with Communities in Schools, the
City of Auburn, Auburn Youth Resources, Boys and Girls Clubs, the White River Museum, Junior Achievement, United Way and the 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. Auburn High School students started the 14-15 school year in a beautifully modernized and reconstructed world-class high school because voters supported a bond for the district’s oldest high school. Last year voters also approved a six-year technology levy to update and expand technology in the district. The Auburn School District champions its diversity. The richness of the cultures that

Auburn's proud tradition: Veterans Day Parade Honoring veterans is a tradition in the City of Auburn. And for the past 49 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, featuring marching bands, ROTC units, re-enactors, active military units and military vehicles from all eras. Last year's parade featured more than 200 entries and nearly 6,000 parade participants showcasing American strength of will, endurance and purpose. The parade included more than 30 marching bands. Auburn is designated by the Vet-
erans Day National Committee and the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs as a regional site for the celebration of Veterans Day. The 50th edition of the tradition is Nov. 7 on Main Street.
Scenes from the 2014 Auburn Veterans Day Parade, clockwise, from top: A military unit strides down Main Street under sunny skies; the American Legion’s World War I Doughboys march; Washington Civil War Association members posing as Union soldiers and officers salute the crowd; and the Auburn High School Marching Band performs.

Humble Claudon gives back to the community BY ROBERT WHALE rwhale@auburn-reporter.com
H
e is one of the quiet ones, likes to serve from behind the scenes, do his thing without a blare of trumpet or whisper of vainglory. “Mr. Claudon doesn’t like publicity,” a front office person at Valley GMC Buick responded to a reporter’s request for an interview. That is true. Fortunately for Auburn, where Ron Claudon prefers to say as little as possible about himself, trails of good actions lead back to him from all over the city. Like the time he volunteers every week on behalf of Communities in Schools of Auburn to read to a third- or fourth-grade student who is struggling with his or her schoolwork, Or the board positions he has held over the years with the Auburn Valley YMCA and the Auburn Area Chamber of Commerce. Or his 28 years of membership with the Kiwanis Club of Auburn. Or of services quietly rendered to advisory committees of the Auburn School District and Green River Community College, and annual donations to St. James Cathedral, the Auburn Food Bank, Auburn Youth Resources and Skills, Inc. For these reasons, and many more, the Auburn Reporter named the Auburn native and second-generation owner of Valley GMC Buick, Inc. its

Ron Claudon, president of Valley GMC Buick in Auburn, has been honored for his work in the industry and for his contributions to the community. COURTESY PHOTO 2014 Person of the Year. As might have been expected, the news of such an honor embarrassed him a bit. “There are so many others out there doing more things than I do for the community,” he said. Claudon, who attended North Auburn – now Dick Scobee – and Lea Hill elementary schools and Cascade Junior High before graduating from Auburn High School in 1978, went off to Washington State University and earned a bachelor’s degree in business in 1982. After working in banking and construction for a year, he came back to the Auburn dealership his father and two partners had founded 19 years earlier, where he rose from office manager to sales manager to general manager and, in 1993, to dealer. One of his father’s original partners still owns a stake in the business, and Claudon’s own wife and son work there, too.
Auburn 2015 Residents’ Guide
He was a nominee for Time Dealer of the Year in 2014, a program that honors new-car dealers in America who exhibit exceptional performance in their dealerships and perform distinguished community service. “I started working for my father in 1974 washing floors, and then I sold cars while in college,” Claudon said. "Relationships with employees and customers over the years have been by far the most meaningful achievement of my career. I take pride in the 90-plus people we employ and watching them grow and learn. Some leave to find other pursuits, others stay for a career. “… My folks have passed away now, but they were longtime supporters of our community and passed on their love of Auburn to myself and our children,” Claudon said. “I’m very appreciative that our children have decided to return to the community where my wife (Lori) and I raised them, to live here and raise families of their own.”

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, sharedride 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.
