 We're again partnering with the King County Regional Office of Gun Violence and Prevention to give away FREE gun lockboxes (no strings attached) at City Hall Plaza next Friday!
 The last time King County was here to pass out gun lock boxes, they ended up giving away the most inventoryĀ and in the shortest amount of time in the program's history at a municipal event.
Auburn, I am proud of your for doing your part and your commitment to gun violence prevention! Please join us next Friday!

 Come celebrate Pride in Auburn!
Pride Month in Auburn isn't just a celebration (though it is also that). It's a powerful reminder that love, acceptance, belonging, inclusion -- and being proud of it -- make our community stronger. We honor the diversity that defines us and we stand united for equality and respect. And most especially, the right for everyone to live free from discrimination of any kind.
 Join us Monday, June 1, at 6 p.m. outside City Hall as we raise the Pride flag together and kick off a month of celebration, reflection, and solidarity.
See you there!

 On Friday, alongside hundreds of others, I got to have a little bit of FUN! Together, we welcomed the grand REopening of the Auburn Walmart!Ā
I want to congratulate the Auburn Walmart team, most especially the associates, store leadership, market and regional teams, and everyone who had a hand in bringing this remodel to life. A project like this takes a whole of time and coordination.
 When this Walmart first opened in Auburn in 2010, it quickly became an important part of our community. For many residents, this store is a regular stop for groceries, household essentials, pharmacy needs and everyday items that help families stretch their budgets a little further.
The store also provides stable employment for hundreds of people, helping support our local families. And of course, itās a welcome anchor to our Outlet Collection mall ā back when it was built of course, it went by another name: the Super Mall. It has since become a part of Auburnās identity.
Iām excited for residents to enter and see the updates for themselves and enjoy a refreshed shopping experience. Iām also grateful to Walmart for continuing to be a strong partner in Auburn, in all aspects!
And lastly, a great big shout-out to Walmart for their incredible and gracious donations! The Auburn Police Department on Friday received a check for $300, Junior Achievement got $40,000 (!!!) for a new storefront in their BizTown, and $2,000 went to the Auburn Food Bank!
 In this episode of That's so Auburn! we welcome Matthew Colpitts back to the show to talk about emergencies (again)! Matthew and his team are hard at work prepping for the summer season, which includes smoke and wildfires, drought conditions, and oh yeah, this little thing called the World Cup... With games scheduled to start in June through July in our region, we're expecting signficant traffic impact, yes even all the way down here in Auburn.
Matthew Colpitts brings more than 20 years of experience in emergency services, emergency management, safety, security, and leadership. His work has included emergency planning, incident response, preparedness training, community safety, and crisis recovery.
Matthew earned his doctorate from Fielding Graduate University, where his research focused on emergency management in educational institutions. He is also a Certified Protection Professional through ASIS and holds TEEXās Infrastructure Protection Certificate, FEMAās HSEEP certificate, FEMAās Professional Development Series certificate, and several advanced incident command and emergency management certifications.
In addition to his professional work, Matthew has been active in local and community organizations, including service, civic, and arts-focused groups. Outside of work, he enjoys traveling, learning new things, Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, and Dungeons & Dragons. He is also a proud first-generation college graduate from rural Maine and, at home, is part of an adorable family that includes a cat named Mrs. Scraggles.
Listen anywhere you get your podcasts such as Spotify, Apple Podcasts, Amazon Music, or watch along on YouTube!
 Thank you everyone who came out to honor our fallen heroes this Memorial Day. Each year, I'm filled with pride and privilege as we remember those who gave the ultimate sacrifice for our freedom.
 Memorial Day holds a sacred place in our cityās heart. Itās a moment to pause and remember those who stepped forward in the face of danger, knowing they might never return home.
A big thank you to Deputy Mayor Taracy Taylor and Councilmembers Cheryl Rakes, Hanan Amer and Lisa Stirgus for attending!
If you missed our Mountainview Cemetery service, you can watch the full ceremony on our Watch Auburn YouTube channel.

King County is replacing the underground sewer line and will temporarily divert sewage through an above-ground pipe. Some areas will see detours since pipes may block traffic and sidewalks. Driveways will not be affected.
 Construction will take place during daytime hours starting next week. The project will be completed by the end of 2026, and affected roads, sidewalks, and driveways are expected to be repaired by end of June 2027.

 Mark your calendars because the Auburn's Farmers Market will be here before ya know it!
The Auburn Farmers Market is one of my favorite places because it brings together local farmers, artisans, and community members in a vibrant space where fresh, healthy, and locally sourced food is just the beginning. Itās more than a market, too -- itās a place to connect, to learn about wellness and healthy living, and to support the incredible small businesses that help our community thrive.
The market begins at 10 a.m. on Sunday at Les Gove Park and ends at 3 p.m. Swing through each Sunday this summer until the market closes Sept. 14!

What's your favorite Auburn Farmers Market haul?
 Auburn is rich with history ā from historical Main Street to the artifacts preserved throughoutĀ White River Valley MuseumĀ ā I am excited to share these stories with all of you each week.Ā
(Image courtesy of White River Valley Museum)
Woman posing at the salmon hatchery on Soos Creek in Auburn, c. 1901. Salmon has long been a critical part of the Pacific Northwest's economy and culture. However, in the late 19th century overfishing by pioneers left fish stocks nearly depleted. In 1901 the facility at Soos Creek became one of the earliest hatcheries established by the state. The hatchery is still operational and is noted by Washington Department of Fish & Wildlife for its high survival rates. It now raises and releases fall Chinook salmon, Coho salmon, and both winter- and summer-run Steelhead.
