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)

[edit] 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)
[edit] Percentages
October 13, 2006 11:30 AM PT - I need to find out what the percentage of people whoo live in the city and people who live in the suburbs. Does anyone know what it is? Message me if you do. - PETS
- Auburn is a suburb of Seattle and Tacoma. So... 100% suburb. --Measure 20:43, 15 January 2007 (UTC)
Retard, I mean the percentage of people who live in the main city area, and dont say it's 100% suburb to me, because I live there. There are houses in there, but i didn't want to count and I couldn't find an online source.
Without any name-calling: Many people now consider Auburn a suburb of Seattle, and would classify all of Auburn's population as suburban. But Auburn clearly fails to meet the usual definitions of a suburb, it was founded as its own town long before Seattle *had* suburbs. Auburn's suburbs have grown into Kent's suburbs and both have grown into Seattle's suburbs, but clearly downtown Auburn is not a suburb of Seattle either historically or functionally. That said, I don't know a reliable source for differentiating the populations of downtown Auburn vs. suburban Auburn. Possibly the Auburn Downtown Association would have an idea?
[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:Auburn new.jpg

I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.
Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template.
