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.
Auburn is located south of Seattle, Washington. Auburn is nice because there are many residential areas and close to public transportations. Also, there is Emerald Downs which is a racecourse, Auburn Municipal Airport, library, golf course, and outlet stores. Green River College is also located in Auburn if you are looking to advancing your education. Auburn is located right 15 minutes away from Seattle/Tacoma airport which is very nice if you like to travel. Auburn is also right in between Tacoma and Seattle. You can visit both cities with your preference for the day. Kent is located north of Auburn and there is a sounder train station which makes your travel even easier. Aerospace company blue Origin is located 10 minutes from Auburn. Auburn is a great place to live if you are looking to work for the great company.
I live in a little 4 block section of unincorporated King County and I love it. My neighbors are fantastic and help keep an eye out for my elderly grandmother who I take care of. The nature around is also stunning. I have been here bow for a full year and each season has its own beauty. The cherry blossoms in spring, the sunny days of summer, rain and colorful leaves of fall, and a short blanket of snow in the winter are all marvels I have enjoyed here. We also have plenty of little critters for my grandma to enjoy watching from her porch like birds, squirrels and bunnies. Moving here was a great choice.
