Auburn occupies the broad Green River Valley in western Washington, south of Seattle in the Puget Sound lowlands. The city grew from an agricultural settlement known as Slaughter, adopting the name Auburn in 1893; the White River Valley Museum preserves stories of local and regional heritage. Downtown combines civic buildings, shops and performance venues, while Emerald Downs hosts Thoroughbred racing from spring into autumn. The river plain and nearby Cascade foothills place Auburn between the metropolitan corridor and the working landscapes of King County.
