Vaughn is an unincorporated community in Pierce County, Washington, United States. Vaughn is located on Vaughn Bay in the northwestern Key Peninsula. Vaughn has a post office with ZIP code 98394.[2]
Vaughn was named for W.D. Vaughn, who settled in the area around 1851.[3]
Vaughn was once an important port for the Key Peninsula.
