Isn't Northwest Territorial Mint headquarters in Auburn WA? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 77.250.238.168 (talk) 10:27, 7 November 2008 (UTC)

Northwest Territorial Mint headquarters is now in Dayton, NV. Its bullion and online store operations are now in Federal Way, WA. MikeFlynn247 —Preceding unsigned comment added by Mikeflynn247 (talk • contribs) 19:40, 4 October 2010 (UTC)

Who are the Moore brothers referenced in the Geography section? If it's really relevant, it should be explained. --Jppi Stu 08:30, 1 April 2006 (UTC)

I have no idea why or when that was put in. I don't think it was there when I was editing the article several months ago. --Measure 20:14, 1 April 2006 (UTC)

Redlight Cameras
It should probably be noted that Auburn, WA is apparently the first (or one of the first) cities in WA state to activate digital video red-light camera enforcement permitted by a recent state law. I also remember reading something about it in the "Auburn Reporter" magazine several months ago that the city seemed to prefer installing the cameras (basically free) rather than spending the money to time the lights on Auburn Way South to reduce congestion and increase traffic flow. Does anyone still have a copy of that article?

i think I burned that last Christmas, but it might be on Proquest.com Premium service.

I'm not sure, I remember reading that in the Auburn Reporter. I know they just installed two new ones in front of Hazzel Wood and Dick Scobee. I would know, i live in front of Dick Scobee. :P

At least they finally repaved Auburn Way. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Ziggy kid (talk • contribs) 04:13, 15 November 2007 (UTC)

Jimi Hendrix
Any one got any proof that he went to AHS? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Ziggy kid (talk • contribs) 00:53, 9 May 2008 (UTC)

Jimi Hendrix attended Garfield High School in Seattle. He did not graduate. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 75.172.57.6 (talk) 23:08, 20 September 2008 (UTC)

Jimmy Hendrix lived in Seattle and Renton, not Auburn Route66draw (talk) 09:57, 31 March 2011 (UTC)

Deleteing Correct Info
Who ever the hell is messing wiht this article needs to stop. I higly doubt you live in Aubrun, and you're not even looking at the damn links and ref. LOOK AT THEM. Lea Hill is now a part of Auburn, you would know that if you looked at the damn source. Worked hard, dont delete that stuff. OK? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.231.48.22 (talk) 17:23, 16 November 2008 (UTC)

Ok, For real. Stop messing with the info. It has correct links, and is accurate. Stop Messing With it. You do not live in Auburn, and you shouldnt care. Thanks....Karatematthew (talk) 16:40, 14 December 2008 (UTC)

Good point, but it's spelled "Auburn". I Updated the elevation to include Lea Hill. lets hope it stays that way.Route66draw (talk) 09:59, 31 March 2011 (UTC)

Founded
"founded on June 13, 1891": is that an incorporation date? The area would almost certainly have had some settlers before that. - Jmabel | Talk 06:42, 19 October 2009 (UTC)

Awkward sentences
From the article: "With the garage now being built, now parking opportunity have allowed city code to continue with the re-development of the downtown core." I can't even parse that. If someone else can, could you please turn it into correct English? Thanks. - Jmabel | Talk 06:45, 19 October 2009 (UTC)

Similarly: "With the main project goal of encompassing a regional entertainment and shopping center, while being an Urban Center." I see two clasuse there, but the sentence seems to lack a main verb. Parts of this article could really use a major rewrite. - Jmabel | Talk 06:46, 19 October 2009 (UTC)

And: "Beginning in the late 1970s, Auburn's downtown began a slow decline in business and travel." Didn't the decline begin earlier? And what does it mean for a neighborhood to decline in travel? - Jmabel | Talk 06:48, 19 October 2009 (UTC)

"Politically incorrect"
"…the name [Slaughter] would be too politically incorrect": whose politics were offended? Isn't this just a matter of bad connotations, not political incorrectness? - Jmabel | Talk 06:50, 19 October 2009 (UTC)

Tim Noah
Isn't children's musician Tim Noah from Auburn? I couldn't find anything on his childhood in his page, maybe someone could add him if that's the case.

City size
The citys land area is 29.82 mi^2, 21.3 which is land, and 0 which is water? That doesn't make any sense;I smell bias. I'm changin it back to 21.3 until I get a straight answer. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Route66draw (talk • contribs) 10:19, 31 March 2011 (UTC)

Photo description is incorrect
The photo shown in the section "Downtown Redevelopment" has an error in its description. It says "Looking down towards Auburn Way from West Main street". It should read "...from East Main street."

The photo is taken looking west on East Main street. I drove over there last night to confirm my memory. The closest elements in the photo are signage and traffic controls at F street SE and Main. The prominent Auburn Justice Center is on the SW corner of Main and D street SE (formerly Massey's Supermarket). The closest traffic lights are indeed at Auburn Way, but South is to the left and North is to the right. Auburn Way is also C street SE/NE. Division street is three blocks further and that is where East Main becomes West Main street. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 192.254.1.7 (talk) 17:26, 5 July 2011 (UTC)

Inconsistent employer information
The article text says "Boeing... 11,000... third largest" but the table has different numbers and rankings.

Probably worth squaring the text and the table's reporting. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 208.98.200.10 (talk) 20:14, 17 October 2014 (UTC)

New population Info
https://twitter.com/auburn_wa/status/618257012615307264 Wormeyman (talk) 15:40, 7 July 2015 (UTC) I don't really understand the table formatting can someone update?

Citation Updates
A few comments about the page:

Some of the citations are a bit out of date. The updated Office of Financial Management's "Population change and rank" spreadsheet has Auburn listed as the 15th most populated city in Washington state. Additionally, the top employers currently cited on the page shows data from 2011. An updated employer list is needed. I have found one for 2015.

The education section is in need of citation after the sentence "Currently the Auburn School District has fourteen elementary schools, four middle schools and three high schools, making twenty-two schools in all." Maybe a citation that leads to the Auburn School District website?

Seesaw record
I found a source that said that in this town, sometime before 1981, that two high school students were on a seesaw and kept going for 1,101 hours and 40 minutes. Is this true? or urban legend? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 104.220.212.20 (talk) 06:25, 21 January 2020 (UTC)
