Message from the Chairman

Welcome to the Auburn Area!

The Auburn Area Chamber of Commerce’s mission is to represent businesses united to promote a strong economy and a vibrant community.  One tool we provide to do that is our yearly Business Directory and Community Guide you are using right now.  The cities of Auburn, Algona and Pacific and the Muckleshoot Indian Reservation are in the heart of the Green and White River valleys—the hub of the Pacific Northwest products distribution and manufacturing area, the location of major entertainment venues, and home to some of the finest and friendliest people in the Puget Sound area.  In these pages you will find the names, phone numbers and addresses of those individuals and businesses that value their community and realize it is through their individual and collective efforts that our communities are what they are today, and more importantly, what our communities will be for our children. 

In response to our annual Chamber Ambassador’s contact with our renewing members, a second-generation Auburn businessman explained his reason for being a Chamber member: 

“[We’ve] been a Chamber member for 30+ years I think. Dad originally joined on behalf of the company so I really can’t say exactly what his motivation was but I can speculate. We always have been of the opinion that we should be an asset to the community as a whole. That includes furthering the interests of small business and being a positive role model where it comes to social service efforts and community events. I don’t think Dad was and nor am I at this point looking to ‘gain’ anything from being a Chamber member. We feel it’s more of an obligation as part of the local community that we belong and participate. The Chamber benefits all businesses locally whether they are members or not."

The Auburn Area is filled with like-minded citizens who daily toil to make our communities continually better places to live and work.  You will find their names listed in the Key Business Contacts section.  I encourage you to use this directory as your first source for finding whatever you need, from “Accounting and Tax Services” to “Youth and Family Services,” all easily found in our categorized Business Directory section, or alphabetically in our “Membership Roster.” 

You will find a wealth of information in the many sections of the Community Profile: from statistics that attract potential new businesses to our area, to the many events and facilities that attract new residents and visitors.   In particular, mark the page with the names and phone numbers of our hard working Chamber staff who will do all they can to help and direct you.   Collectively they are one of the best resources in the Auburn area, and individually they are some of the nicest people you will meet.  If you’re already a Chamber member, use this directory to find and support your fellow members. 

Our Chamber provides its members benefits and opportunities to develop and expand professionally and personally.  If you’re not a member yet, please join us as we work diligently to continue to make it the region’s premier business organization, and our communities Puget Sound’s premier place to work, play and live.  We can use your help, and we can help you.

Sincerely,
C. Keith Stump
Chairman of the Board
Auburn Area Chamber of Commerce
