Neighborhood

Located on the fringes of Auburn's residential areas and transitioning into rural lands in the east, Plateau sits between the Green River to the north and the Stuck River to the south. The Muckleshoot Native American Reservation bisects the area, with its casino being the most distinctive presence in the Plateau. For renters looking to live a semi-rural locale without straying too far from the conveniences of large urban areas, this community’s tree-lined subdivisions and plentiful parks create an ideal suburban experience.

Central Auburn lies three miles to the northwest, while Seattle rests 30 miles northwest, and Tacoma 16 miles southwest.

Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.

Maintenance is lacking, Parking is dark at night.

Security lights are needed at night, Cars are broken into, Catalytic converters are stolen, Lack of light is a security issue, no security cameras, carports have lights that are not turned on. Maintenance takes months and months to repair items.
