Plateau
Suburban Neighborhood in Auburn, Washington
King County 98002, 98092
From the Green River to the towering green firs to the green you can cash in at the casino; it doesn’t get much greener than Plateau, Auburn, where the suburbs meet the rural countryside. Megan White, Realtor with RE/MAX who has lived in Auburn most of her life, says, “You have homes with larger lots with multiple acres and others in tighter neighborhoods.”
In the northern section of Plateau, you’ll find yourself in a subdivision of single-family homes no more than a mile from Auburn Way, the neighborhood’s main road. It offers a mix of ranch-styles, split-levels and Cape Cods from the mid-1900s along tree-lined streets on quarter-acre lots. You can get a smaller 1,000-square-foot home starting at $450,000, a larger 3,000-square-foot house for up to $850,000 and everything in between. Most homes come with fenced-in backyards, so you can have some privacy. And while there are no sidewalks, the wide streets and slow-paced atmosphere allow you to enjoy peaceful strolls while greeting neighbors. As you head south on Auburn Way, you’re greeted by a more rural setting with similar homes on one-to-three-acre lots surrounded by farmland. With more space and the majestic sight of Mount Rainier in the distance, you can expect to pay anywhere from $700,000 to $1 million.
Enjoy more natural beauty at Fenster Nature Park. Locals like to stop by the dog-friendly park to walk or jog along the short gravel trail by the Green River, a popular spot to fish from the banks. For a more casual outing, head to Shaughnessy Park to play basketball and pickleball or eat at a picnic table by the playground. Muckleshoot Casino is just steps from several homes in the suburban section of Plateau. Located on Auburn Way, the casino is open 24/7, so you can place your bets whenever you want or stop by to eat at the restaurant and dance the night away to live music. If you love the Fourth of July, the casino goes big to celebrate. “The Muckleshoot tribe sets up dozens of firework stands with hand-painted signs and sell fireworks from June 1 through July 4 every year,” says White. “Then they host their own public fireworks show.”
There are a few small plazas about a half-mile down the road where you can shop and dine out. Head to Khan Grocery and Deli to stock your fridge and pantry with halal foods. When you don’t want to cook, grab some Mexican food and a margarita at La Rioja. For dessert, walk to Anthony’s right next door to get a Mexican-inspired smoothie, like the Mangonada. You can also drive about 4 miles west to Downtown Auburn, which has several more restaurants and big box stores to choose from.
Kindergarten through fifth-grade students attend Chinook Elementary School, rated a B-minus by Niche. They’ll go on to C-plus-rated Olympic Middle School and B-rated Auburn High School. The high school offers students the opportunity to be part of the International Thespian Society, an honor society for theater students, which has produced actors like Tom Hanks and Julia Louis-Dreyfus.
With the liveliness of a casino, the neighborly touch of a suburb and the beauty of the countryside, Plateau makes for a harmonious neighborhood in Auburn.
