.: Auburn
Primarily a blue-collar neighbourhood located between Renton and Puyallup, Auburn is inheriting Humanis Policlub poison from the former and problems with environmentalists from the latter. Orks and Trolls make up about 20 percent of the population, so the growth of Humanis influence is making for tension between humans and metahumans. The environmentalists are out to curb the excesses of the districts 400+ factories, metal refineries, and petrochemical plants. Angry residents fear their jobs will disappear as a result and so there is even more tension.
There is also the presence of both the Yakuza and Mafia in the area, both strongly entrenched and constantly fighting. Even Lone Star is afraid of the syndicates in Auburn, and lets them have pretty much free reign. In other words, Auburn is a mess - and every shadowrunner knows that the easiest placeto find shadow work is where there is conflict. Just be sure to choose sides carefully in Auburn - everyone there is on edge, and pissing off the wrong people can make for a rough life or a quick death.
There aren't any real standout night spots in Auburn. It's mostly a working man's area, so places tend to be rough-and-ready bars and the like. The Yakuza have kept a vice industry going, so there are places to go with a little more class (but not much more), but they are definitely the exception.
.: Places of Interest
Auburn is a great place to find work. Finding a place to have a good time can be tough, but it can be done. Auburn has plenty of those little places where being a regular actually means something and where the patrons and staff will give you a chance to get out the back. Try Mitzies, a place run by a former geisha, or Hughey's, a place run by a Desert War veteran, and work out from there.
.: Gangs
Auburn doesn't have any really large gangs, just lots and lots of small ones. They usually have no more than a couple of dozen members. Go-gangs usually operate along Route 18, and Route 164. Thrill gangs, on teh other hand, are found mostly along the Puyallup border, in Sumner and along the Tacoma border.
