Welcome
to The City of Auburn!
Welcome to Auburn a city of the U.S.
state of Washington,
in King
County with some spill-over into Pierce
County. Though founded before either Seattle or Tacoma (Seattle
metropolitan area) had suburbs,
Auburn is now often thought of as a suburb of these two cities.
Auburn is roughly bordered by the suburbs of Federal
Way, Pacific,
and Algona to
the west, Sumner to
the south, unincorporated King
County to the east, and Kent to
the north. The Muckleshoot
Indian Reservation is nearby.Auburn also hosts the third largest Veteran's day parade West

Local
History
Auburn was originally
incorporated as "Slaughter," named
after William Slaughter, who died in an Indian skirmish in 1855.
At the time, the main hotel in town was called the "Slaughter
House." In 1893, a large group of settlers from Auburn,
New York moved to Slaughter, and renamed the town to "Auburn." Due
to this history, when Auburn was building its second high school
in the mid-1990s, there was a grass-roots effort to name the
high school "Slaughter High School," but it was eventually
decided that the name would be too politically incorrect, and
the High School was named "Auburn Riverside High School," whose
mascot is the Raven. There are several locations in Auburn on
the National and State Registers of Historic Places, such as
the Neely
Mansion. |
