	Pacific is a small town located in southern King County. It was founded by a California land developer Clarence Dayton Hillman in the late 19^th century. Pacific incorporated in 1909. The nearby town of Algona was also founded by Hillman but it did not become a city until 1955. The two towns are often mistaken as one. These two towns created an electric rail system together that linked to Tacoma and Seattle and later became the Puget Sound Electric Railway. With the development of paved roads the need for the railway decreased and it last ran in 1928. Today the rail has been replaced with a recreational trail. On the map to the left Pacific and Algona are located about where the “A” in Auburn is located and Auburn lies just north of these cities. Auburn, WA lies both north and east of the cities of Pacific, WA and Algona, WA. Algona is about 1 mi. south of the Supermall of the Great Northwest in Auburn at the intersection of WA-167 and WA-18.
