It's not a crazy big town, but Auburn is my hometown and it offers many places and activities. I usually go to the mall here, the Outlet Collection, and in comparison to Federal Way's Commons mall, there's so much more to do here. The accommodations are right next to each other; I remember only having to walk from place to place to get somewhere without having to drive so far to get where I want. At least in the part of town that I live, Auburn is arranged conveniently, and supplies everything within a reasonable distance.
Definitely one of those towns where you see people leave and then come right back, I would know because I was one of them, as well as my girlfriend. I grew up in Auburn, turned 18 enlisted into the military, and after my active service was up, I came right back because there's no place like home! Easy commute to either Tacoma or Seattle (without traffic). As long as you know what time traffic dies, you'll be able to travel freely and with ease. Perfect example is going northbound to Seattle (between 0530-0930) is traffic and southbound from Seattle (between 1500-1900) is traffic.
Very quiet, not many sirens. Could use some pothole fixing but otherwise great! Also wish we had more sidewalks instead of walking in the street.
