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.
