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.

Mobile-home communities and ranches

Located near Downtown Auburn, homes here are densely constructed but offer a tranquil suburban lifestyle with small, private backyards. Ranches and double-wide mobile homes built around the 1960s dominate the area's architecture. A few clusters of townhomes are mixed in with the single-family homes and can be purchased for close to $380,000, while the larger, private homes can sell for $600,000 to $700,000. Bilevels, ramblers and the occasional bungalow offer plenty of square footage, decorated with colorful facades and exciting landscaping options. Sidewalks are plentiful in North Auburn and necessary for daily walks as many cars take advantage of the on-street parking in town.

Catching salmon along the Green River

Brannan Park is a central outdoor hub on the weekends and after work. It encompasses baseball and soccer fields, picnic areas with charcoal grills and a playground. There's also a skate park and a paved walking loop connecting to the Green River. The river is one of the area's best features, offering pristine waters and abundant fishing opportunities. Every year, the Green River gets a return of Coho, Chum and Chinook salmon, and residents can admire their trek upstream. For residents craving more submersion in the natural beauty of the Pacific Northwest, Flaming Geyser State Park is only 15 miles east. This secluded park is a local hotspot for kayaking, white water rafting and swimming.

A short drive from every necessity

With its proximity to Highway 167 and the Sounder train, residents can expect a small-town feel while still being able to get to two major cities quickly. "The neighborhood is less than 30 minutes from everywhere. Tacoma and Seattle are close by, as well as the airport and a few shopping centers," Daqeeq says.

Line dancing and 24/7 burritos

Auburn Way runs through the heart of North Auburn, and though it's primarily industrial, there are a few eateries and shops for locals to enjoy. For one, Memo's is a favorite for a quick meal, serving hearty portions of Mexican food from their colorful drive-thru that is open 24/7. On the weekends, North Auburn residents put on their dancing shoes and head to Bourbon Jack's Honky Tonk Grill. The vibrant establishment is the go-to place for line dancing, dishing up southern BBQ and plenty of beer alongside live country music bands. Locals can head south to The Outlet Collection Seattle for the closest Walmart, Nordstrom Rack and Burlington, among other chains.
