Manufactures relocate to this industrial hub
Halfway between Tacoma and Seattle, North Auburn is a slow-paced community that gives convenience to the cities at a lower price than its neighboring towns. The Green River runs alongside the east of the neighborhood, backing up to many of the homes in the area and providing some natural beauty to this highly industrial area. Most residents of North Auburn work in the manufacturing and service industries, and their offices and headquarters are on the western end of the neighborhood. "It's a very multicultural neighborhood with many people relocating there for work," says Shafiq Daqeeq, Broker at Berkshire Hathaway Northwest Real Estate. The main thoroughfare in town has restaurants and hang-out options for the community, while every necessity, like grocery stores and trains to the city, is always close.
North Auburn sits on the banks of the Green River, nestled among lush greenery and hillsides.

Bilevels, ramblers and the occasional bungalow offer plenty of square footage, decorated with colorful facades and exciting landscaping options.

This secluded park is a local hotspot for kayaking, white water rafting and swimming.
