Everett Gala Inn

Type: Hotel

Rating: ★★

Price: ¥115

Location: 19th Avenue Southeast & 132nd Street Southeast, Eastmont

Description: A small, clean, affordable family-style hotel adjacent to the Rainforest Mall, a shopping center with a variety of stores for browsing and convenience shopping.

The selection at the Rainforest has gotten thinner in recent years, with more vacant storefronts, although very few squatters have moved in, at least not for very long.

Pinehurst Cubes & Breakfast

Type: Motel

Rating: ★

Price: ¥35

Location: South 2nd Avenue, Pinehurst

Description: The Pinehurst Cubes & Breakfast is affordable and that's the nicest thing you can say about it.

Jammed between I-5 and the Snohomish River, if it weren't a former self-storage facility converted into a cube hotel then it might be something more but with four cubes to a unit, no air conditioning, and one bathroom for every twenty-five people, this coffin motel gears itself exclusively to those who can't afford anything better and its known for being filled with people trying to law low, deal drugs, or use drugs.

Garden of Eden

Type: Hotel

Rating: ★★★★

Price: ¥425

Location: Evergreen Way & Route 526, Casino Corner

Description: The Garden of Eden is the Casino Corner's premier hotel, known for its classic, old-world style and being absolutely riddled with the Ciarniello mafiosi after owner Alex Harrison and professional wise guy Caeser Ciarniello joined forces after the latter extended an olive branch and an offer of partnership.

More or less everything and anything illegal going on in Casino Corner is now controlled by the Ciarniellos now, with the local's blessing, and any talks of local unionizing in Casino Corner is already infested with mobsters thanks to said deal.

Lakeview Inn

Type: Hotel

Rating: ★★

Price: ¥115

Location: 11850 19th Avenue Southeast, Eastmont

Description: A small, reasonably priced motor inn on Silver Lake, with adjacent lakefront view and access to water sports and hiking trails. 

It was also the site of a string of unsolved murders dating back to the late 2030s although the first of the bodies wasn’t retrieved from the lake until the late 2050s. 

The Lone Star case file is still open, with no real leads on who abducted and killed some thirteen young men between the ages of 11 and 15 and sank their bodies in the lake. 

Needless to say, the nearby former gravesite is not on the brochures.

Silver Cloud Inn

Type: Hotel

Rating: ★★★

Price: ¥245

Location: 718 Front Street, Mukilteo

Description: This 70-room luxury hotel on the waterfront offers an excellent view of Possession Sound, complimentary breakfast, and easy access to Mukilteo Park and the ferry. Part of the Silver Cloud chain found throughout the Seattle metroplex.

Although faded from its glory days, this hotel manages to continue to do a decent business because of its location, primarily attracting tourists and travelers interested in the waterfront view at a decent price. 

It still gets some corporate guests, along with downtown types looking to get away from it all on a budget.

The Autumn Motel

Type: Motel

Rating: ★

Price: ¥50

Location: 718 Front Street, Fobes Hill

Description: A small-time establishment located off of Route 9, The Autumn Motel is a cheap one-star motel which caters mostly to small- and medium-yield truckers who are falling asleep at the wheel and have nowhere else to rest.

The beds suck, the sheets are scratchy, the ice machine works one or two days a week and the power has a tendency of going out if you plug anything that draws a modern power yield into an outlet and the tridscreens only have 2 channels (and are pre-Crash 2.0, so hooking anything up to them is a bitch).

The only part where The Autumn Motel really excels is that no one there wants to know your business and no one will remember your name except, probably, the Fobes Hill Sheriff's Department which handles the drug overdose deaths because no one else wants to.

Grand Attraction

Type: American Restaurant

Cost: ¥¥

Location: 52nd Avenue West & 168th Street West, Lynwood

Description: The Grand Attraction is a restaurant that really doesn't live up to its name. Its large, sure, but it feels cramped and the decor is all over the place as if a shadowrunner and a fisherman spilled their pockets in a cheap flea market bargain bin.

The food itself is good all the same and the drinks are reasonably priced, although what makes the Grand Attraction noteworthy is that its owners are a group of retired shadowrunners who draw in the occasional youngblood looking for tall tales or advice.

Green Thumb

Type: American Restaurant

Cost: ¥¥

Location: Zillah Street & South Second Avenue, Lowell

Description: Green Thumb is the relative new kid as it were, having been finished in 2080. 

It overlooks the sharp bend in the Snohomish River, just east of I-5. Fair food, but a lot of blue-collar folks have started to search it out. Members of the local unions have also found it and enjoy using it for unwinding, especially since it’s a 24 hour joint. 

Destiny Clark is the owner and manager of the Thumb, and a friend of the union locals and the blue-collar types. 

He’s an elf with a few strange habits, but between his own ’ware and skills, he gives the vibe of a seasoned runner veteran despite very little being known about his long-term history at this point.

Koffee

Type: Coffee Shop

Cost: ¥¥

Location: Broadway & 17th Street, Old Everett

Description: Everett’s Koffee chain has grown steadily since the early 2060's and you can’t go far without seeing one of their familiar red logos - they're practically on every other Everett street corner. 

Don’t mess around - if you visit daily, spring for the ¥150 Koffee Klub membership. Their automated system will have your order ready for you when you step in the door, as long as you ping them three minutes in advance, and refills will come right to your table as you need them. 

If you’re not a Koffee Klub member you’ll have to deal with a likely-surely barista and they won’t treat you too well if you want to just sit around and soak up the “culture.”

The coffee is worth it, though.

The Gravity Bar North

Type: American Restaurant

Cost: ¥¥¥¥

Location: 88th Street Southwest, Casino Corner

Description: A first-class restaurant with a great view of Puget Sound and a seafood menu that’s difficult to beat. The attached bar serves the restaurant’s full menu along with drinks, making it ideal for an evening out, so much so that it often attracts visiting celebs looking for a quiet getaway.

Recently renovated, it also boasts a now expanded bar and patio overlooking the Sound.

The Gravity Bar is itself a decent runner’s hangout, although less so than a decade ago. Current owner Vic Dullex has certainly played into the name of the location, using his own magical talents to sometimes make glasses and dishes float across the restaurant or bar to reach their tables to the polite applause of the customers. 

Kate's Greek & American Deli

Type: Greek Restaurant

Cost: ¥

Location: 2512 Colby Avenue, Old Everett

Description: Kate's Greek & American Deli is a small, colorful eatery that practically breaks your jaw with AROs whenever you come near it. Bright whites, yellows, blues, and shades of marble assail you while offering a great look at the menu - mostly Greek food and some American-style foods like omelettes and burgers.

Its most known for its massive portion sizes that come with its low prices, the gyros and fries in particular are their best-sellers and for good reason. As a popular Everett staple, it makes a decent killing selling its own reusable containers, mugs, t-shirts, and commlink cases.

StarKafé

Type: Coffee Shop

Cost: ¥¥

Location: 33rd Avenue West, Alderwood Manor

Description: One of the survivors of the Starbucks Schism, StarKafé was officially incorporated on the island of Manhattan in the late 2040's as the main offices for the surviving franchises of the Starbucks Coffee Company. Known for being particularly ovepriced (especially compared to Soybucks and Quaf) when put against its competitors it has focused more around a culture of snobbery than anything else, at least until they were bought by Ares Macrotechnology in the late 2060's.

Ares pivoted StarKafé back into its fast-food style niche, signing a deal with KongWalMart to have a StarKafé in every single one of their North American stores. Its worked well so far, and StarKafé outlets are starting to appear outside the UCAS more and more but their market share pales in comparison to their competitors.

The Everett-based soykaf chain "Koffee" in particular has forced the closure nearly two thirds of the StarKafé locations in the Seattle Metroplex, most of which were located in Everett.

Danny's Bar & Grill

Type: Bar

Location: Beverly Lane & Barbara Lane, Casino Corner

Description: Danny’s is a cheap dive that used to be a front for a Finnegan Family cathouse and gambling den operating on the four floors above the bar. The gambling den and cathouse are gone with the last owners as well as a vampire problem but in their place is a clientele known mostly for being jacked-up wannabe vampire hunter posers who want nothing more than to hunt those with HMHVV.

Stairs are in the back but you had better have the day’s password if you plan to get past the big guy in the suit with the obvious gun harness under his jacket. Wrong answers earn you anywhere from the bum’s rush to a beating in the alley out back, depending on the bouncer’s mood, but it’s usually not good.

Danny’s current owners and clientele present a very real problem for many, though. They continue to interfere in the Infected Rights movement, especially ghouls, to the point of clear bigotry and desire for outright lynchings.

Ebey's Bar In Exile

Type: Bar

Location: Beverly Park Road & Gibson Road, Mukilteo

Description: The original Ebey’s Bar was less than a klick away on Airport Road. Run by the inestimable Jenny Ebey, it was a haven for shadow-types in Everett in the ‘40s and ‘50s. It was shut down when the corporate heat started moving in to “rehabilitate” Everett in earnest.

Ebey moved to a series of floating locations that became known as “Ebey’s Bar in Exile.” After Crash 2.0, the establishment settled into a place on Beverly Park Road (a former corporate office park, since Ebey has a keen sense of irony). Now the place is back in full swing and you’ll nightly find a selection of Seattle’s finest (and worst) knocking back some of Ebey’s evilest home-brews while chatting up some biz. 

Ebey's is not a place you drop in on without being told what it is and where it is, because best case scenario you'll be blanked by everyone and worst-case is that it might be the last mistake you ever make since Jenny is keen on not losing her livelihood to corporate spies or C-grade runners who can't keep their mouths shut.

Fish Bone

Type: Bar

Location: Mukilteo Speedway & Front Street, Mukilteo

Description: Fish Bone is located just to the left of the Seattle Ferry Terminal in Everett, up in Mukilteo. The interior is clean and the decor banks on a sort of neo-cybergoth style while managing to not overdo it, clearly not wanting to risk alienating the massive walk-in business of the ferry terminal traffic.

It serves a variety of domestic and imported beers as well as a few microbrewery offerings from a local group of deckers who bought the place back in the 2060's and it's become a hotspot for Everett's decking and IPA community since.

The only food it offers are "Gigabytes," some sort of SoyChicken popcorn chicken chunks deep fried and well-sauced. The greasy little morsels are known for somehow helping with migraines often brought on by dumpshock, although the sauce recipes are well-guarded so nobody really knows what part does that.

Jason's Bar and Grill

Type: Bar

Location: Beverly Lane & Barbara Lane, Pinehurst

Description: In the economically depressed area where it sits, not much shines about Jason's. It's something of a low-end bar and grill which does happen to offer drinks and some basic bar foods at reasonable rates.

Jason's is actually mafia front for an illegal prostitution and gambling den operating on the bar's top four floors, though, and trying to go upstairs without proper identification or the correct password is not advised, as they will remind you to within an inch of your life. 

Lucky Londo Brothel

Type: Bar

Location: Cedar Street & Pacific Avenue, Old Everett

Description: The Lucky Londo Brothel would be typical if it weren't for Tricia Amnjipoora, a nartaki woman with the skin color of rose hips. She's whip-smart and has been capable of keeping the mafia, gangers, and other organized crime elements out of the Lucky Londo and was vital in the push for the first union for sex workers in North America: Callers and Walkers (CWU #1).

Besides that, the employees of Lucky Londo Brothel manage a simple healthcare plan and are well-protected, causing the Lucky Londo to become a hotspot for people wanting good drinks as much as the carnal desires.

Rikki's Rathole

Type: Bar

Location: Mukilteo Speedway & Chennault Beach Roach, Mukilteo

Description: Harry “Flamboyance” Brown runs Rikki's Rathole, which is set up in the basement of a lore shop by the name of Elsie's. Flamboyance is a former wage-mage with Fuchi (back when there was a Fuchi Corporation). 

His “early retirement” came about due to “differences in business practice” with his former employers. He's been working the Rathole for years and knows everyone in the underground magical scene in Seattle. 

Some even like to hang out here, meaning they’ve grown used to Brown’s acerbic wit and sharp tongue.

Rikki’s Rathole has survived mainly because it has become a mage-bar dive.

The Green Fish

Type: Bar

Location: Mukilteo Speedway & Front Street, Mukilteo

Description: The Green Fish is located just to the right of the Seattle Ferry Terminal in Everett, up in Mukilteo. It's a rough-and-tumble sort of place that attracts a lot of transients but most notably local and traveling street samurai, razorgirls, and other augmentation enthusiasts who tend to err on the wrong side of the law.

It doesn't get rowdy too often and the patrons themselves are the kind to never say anything to cops but unless you're chromed up and showing off they might not take kindly to you, although the cocktails they serve almost make it worth getting a new augmentation in the first place.

The Rubber Suit

Type: Nightclub

Location: Upper Ridge Road & 18th Street Southwest, Mukilteo

Description: One of the largest and most long-lived nightclubs in Everett, the Rubber Suit owes much of its success to its unusual theme: the club is inspired by Japanese monster-movies of the 20th Century and includes a scale model of a ruined Tokyo as part of its layout. Customers can sit on reinforced buildings and stride among the broken “streets” around the main dance floor. AR enhancements provide things like sparking “power lines” and even miniature people and tanks scurrying around at your feet. You’ll feel like a giant striding across a ruined landscape! Tridscreens typically display mix ups of old monster movie footage cut with modern music videos and a dance music soundtrack. 

Try the “atomic breath” cocktail or the “Appetizer from 20,000 Fathoms” (if you like exotic sushi).

The Spirit of Kin which resides in The Rubber Suit reportedly manifests as a troll-sized reptilian humanoid with a deafening roar and the ability to breathe “atomic fire.” It is very protective of the establishment and urban legend has it that anyone who messes with the Rubber Suit itself (as opposed to say mowing down somebody in the parking lot) fares badly. A few years ago some Finnegan hitters who shot up the place were found fried to a crisp in an alley nearly a kilometer away. They had to be identified with dental records.

The Trawlerman

Type: Bar

Location: Grand Avenue & 18th Street, Old Everett

Description: The Trawlerman is a fairly typical English-style pub in Old Everett which caters almost exclusively towards dockworkers - no easy feat considering that there's actually thousands of them in Everett. 

They're known for their breakfast and mid-day lunch offerings, the former of which are your typical hearty gravy-filled soymeat pies, fish and chips, and fried delights filled sandwiches. They're open sixteen hours a day to make sure that various stevedore shifts can get their meals and decompress after a long day's work and they even have two private rooms - one of them the exclusive purview of the International Longshore and Warehouse Union (ILWU #22) union, which is run by Alva Bridger.

Evergreen Arboretum & Gardens

Type: Arboretum

Location: Alverson Boulevard & Marine View Drive, Old Everett

Description: The nearly 100 year-old Evergreen Arboretum and Gardens is a 2.4-acre park at the top of Legion Park. The Gardens offer a variety of sculptures and a view of Puget Sound as well as a half-dozen different themed gardens of different flowers, foliage, and trees. The Arboretum is open until 22:00 daily (20:00 during the winter months) and tours are available.

Evergreen also has some cultivated Awakened species of plants, and has a grant to research the cultivation and growth of Awakened plant-life native to the Pacific Northwest. They have some plots closed off to the general public, along with cultivation and hydroponics greenhouses. 

The Arboretum’s administration has been known to sponsor expeditions into wilderness areas looking for seeds, seedlings, and cuttings of particular plants, and their botanists often need the assistance of guides and bodyguards on those trips.

Everett Country Club

Type: Golf Course

Location: 1500 52nd Street Southeast, Beverly Park

Description: The second-largest golf course in Everett and the lesser of the two when compared to the American Legion Golf Course, the Everett Country Club is more focused around sitting around and eating. 

In addition to golfing it includes two indoor pools, one outdoor pool, a full-service and member's only restaurant, and even a public bar available.

It also is probably the largest hotbed of upper class Humanis sympathizers in the metroplex, with a great number of anti-metahuman rights advocates making this country club their home and setting up the rules so that you'll see fewer pointed ears here than in Downtown Snohomish or a Human Nation swap meet.

Everett Tripletree Inn

Type: Abandoned Hotel

Location: Beverly Boulevard & Madison Street, Beverly Park

Description: This ten-story luxury hotel, part of the international TripleTree chain, went up in the late 2040s along with Everett’s booming economy. It catered to corporate clients, especially execs in town to close deals or attend meetings. 

When the corporate business dried up and blew away, so did the hotel. It limped along for a few years, then finally closed for good nearly 14 years ago. There has been a “FOR SALE” sign up on the place ever since.

The original owners have pretty much written it off, and the local authorities are frankly scared to raid it too often, for fear of what they’ll stir up. The district government won’t approve demolishing the existing structure until somebody presents a plan for developing the land, and nobody’s interested, so the TripleTree just sits and rots and people have been using the place for everything from crash-space to party-central to safehouse for some time.

An early idea by squatters was to turn the TripleTree into an anarchist collective and not long after a boss named Colton quickly emerged as the de facto “superintendent” of the place. He’s a troll who sees to it at least a few of the hotel’s broken-down systems continue to run, charging reasonable fees for use of the facilities he controls (like water and power). Anyone who doesn’t like it gets to discuss the matter with the business end of a very big wrench or other item from Colton’s toolbox

Legion Memorial Golf Course

Type: Golf Course

Location: 144 West Marine View Drive, Old Everett 

Description: Located on the northern tip of Old Everett, the Legion Memorial Golf Course sports excellent views of Possession Bay.

It offers difficult and easy holes for a multitude of golfers and offers significant discounts to Metroplex Guard and is popular among the middle class of Everett and for business meetings.

Despite this, its never too busy even if you may be sharing your time with a uniformed naval officer, salaried business executive and a small business owner at the course's bar and grill which offers a variety of American style food and cocktails.

Mukilteo Park

Type: Park

Location: Front Street & Mukilteo Speedway, Mukilteo

Description: Close to the sea breezes and salt air of Puget Sound, this district park enjoys clearer air and provides a welcome place for residents and visitors alike to relax and enjoy a day or afternoon out. 

It has also increasingly become a haven for Everett’s homeless population, particularly at night, when the chipheads, addicts, and prostitutes congregate. The police attitude towards the problem has been one of containment rather than clearing out. So long as they know where all the criminal elements are and things stay relatively quiet, the cops focus on keeping people away from the park at night and staying out of it themselves. 

This makes Mukilteo a decent place to set up a meet or a drop-off, provided you keep your eyes open.

Shangri-La Casino

Type: Hotel

Location: Evergreen Way & Route 526, Casino Corner

Description: Looking like a classic Las Vegas casino from the 1950's (complete with ostentatiously colored carpeting and unflattering lighting), the Shangri-La Casino harkens back to a time over a century prior.

The first three floors are game floors which include every game you could imagine (as well as a crossbow arena, sports viewing arena, and a bookie) in this sort of joint but it also houses 15 specialty shops, a 500-seat amphitheater, a marriage chapel, 9 restaurants, four theaters, and 12 bars.

The Breckenridge

Type: Casino

Location: West Casino Road, Casino Corner

Description: One of the many casinos along Everett's Casino Corner, The Breckenridge is a far more modern and appealing casino than most, evocative of Bellevue's entertainment rather than the harken-to-the-past Americana that's popular among the Everett populace.

It's because of this focus on the modern that it tends to appeal to tourists (particularly the wealthy sort) as well as the district's organized crime. The Shotozumi-gumi Yakuza are particularly involved, most prominently the acting leader of the Kanaga-gumi - Akihito Saburo Kanaga.

Despite its popularity, the Breckenridge had a near miss with death when several parts of it caught fire last year. Ten people lost their lives in the blaze, with Akihito himself nearly being one of them.

Wealthy Sasquatch

Type: Casino

Location: Upper Ridge Road, Casino Corner

Description: A fairly standard, gaudy, and mid-low end casino along the wondrous Casino Corner.

Its something of an open secret that the Wealthy Sasquatch is run by the Eighty-Eights triad, mostly because they don't really hide it as long as you pay attention to criminal undercurrents. They have a vested interest in placing immigrants into decent jobs, so the casino itself has the most ethnic first generation Chinese immigrants out of any business in Everett.

The majority of them are normal working stiffs, paying off debts to the Eighty-Eights who helped bring them to the Seattle Metroplex but they're treated exceptionally well - something of a rarity for those in their position. They may not be loyal to the point of death to their debt-masters but there is more than enough to make even the local Lone Star know that questioning most of them won't give anything.

Everett District Courthouse

Type: Courthouse

Location: 3015 Wetmore Avenue, Old Everett

Description: The block between Wall Street and Pacific Avenue along Wetmore is home to the Everett District Courthouse and is the heart of the Everett Business and Economic Center (EBEC).

Like the other major buildings in the area, its connected via underground passageways built in the 2070's along a new infrastructure system. This means that regardless of the weather - or in the event of a major emergency - the courthouse, jail, city records, and other administrative offices can operate in the worst conditions possible.

Everett District Hall

Type: District Hall

Location: 3002 Wetmore Avenue, Old Everett

Description: The District Hall is home to the office of the Mayor, the District Council, and related government offices. 

The District Hall, Courthouse, Council Chambers, Seattle Veterans Association and a few other buildings in what is called the Everett Business and Economic Center (EBEC) are all connected by a series of underground passageways.

The access improvements were part of a whole facility services upgrade. There are now defensive turrets and security improvements at the buildings, especially around the courthouse, records and District Hall itself. Knight Errant, who put in the system, turned the entire thing over the Lone Star with remarkably little sabotage.

Everett Port Authority

Type: Municipal Building

Location: West Marine View Drive, Old Everett

Description: The Everett Port Authority has recently expanded into a new building in downtown Old Everett, specifically in the Everett Business and Economic Center which is attached via underground tunnels with other buildings in the EBEC.

This move has already paid dividends with Seattle's independence, making them more available to the northern and southern docks.

Fobes Hill Sheriff's Department

Type: Police Station

Location: 65th Avenue Southeast, Fobes Hill

Description: Officially incorporated under Lone Star in the 2040's, Fobes Hill has a history of struggling to keep up with Everett's poorest district.

When Knight Errant took over from Lone Star in the early 2070's, Fobes Hill was wracked by Tempo-related crime. It practically bordered on becoming a barrens under Knight Errant's watch despite heavy policing until the late 2070's when a long-term housing development project moved in and it began cleaning up and seeing better days.

After the Free City of Seattle gained its independence, Lone Star rolled back into Fobes Hill with force, utilizing the heavy ordnance they borrowed from HQ to engage in more than a few shootouts, raids, and general policing that's turned Fobes Hill into the most depopulated sub-city within the metroplex once the gangers and houseless were kicked out.

As a police force, they attempt to copy the Downtown Snohomish Lone Star officers but also lack the funding and personnel to be anything other than a precinct where problem cases are sent to deal with low-impact rural crime.

Metroplex Naval Station Everett

Type: Naval Port

Location: Rucker Avenue & Pacific Avenue, Old Everett

Description: Built in the late 1980s as a home port of a carrier battlegroup and a shipyard capable of repairing and resupplying United States Naval vessels as part of the Strategic Homeport agenda. The Naval Station brought hundreds of jobs into Everett and stimulated the local economy. Naval Station Everett became a target during the Ghost Dance War, but was never captured, unlike its “sister” station across the Sound in Bremerton. 

The Station went into a slow decline for many years after the end of the war, as the United States (and later the UCAS) turned its attention elsewhere, and it looked like it would be shut down in the late 2030s. In 2042, however, the UCAS Congress passed the Military Improvements Act and the MNSE and Fort Lewis faved major refurbishment, including the stationing of Joint Task Force Seattle. Until independence, it acted as the UCAS' only west coast port and was home to an entire fleet of vessels, including the aircraft carrier USS Colin Powell.

Since independence, the MNSE is garrisoned by the Metroplex Seattle Naval Forces (MSNF). Though it is not the naval contingent it was at the time of the UCAS Port, the retinue of vessels that are in service here at any one time are still enough to be considered formidable. As of January 2082, the list of primary vessels fully owned and operated by the MSNF are the MSNV Concurrent, MSNV Olympian, and the MSNV-CGC Pugilist. The remaining major vessels in the MSNF are effectively rented out on contract (crew included, in some cases) and those include the MSNF's flagship, the mercenary strike carrier the MNV Hellcat in addition to the WNV Loadstone, MSNV Blue Water, YNV Archer, and PNV Wilderun.

In addition to the above listed ships, there are roughly 30 more vessels of small draught classes that serve as port and harbor patrol boats. Corporate navies that are on loan for services to MSNF are usually on bi-annual rotations as part of an agreement with the Seattle government. Mercenary vessels that call Everett Port home do so on a bi-annual contract, with the MNV Hellcat contract paid for by private funding through 2082.

Port of Everett Docks

Type: Commercial Port

Location: West Marine View Drive, Old Everett

Description: Claiming as much (and sometimes more) freight than the port of Tacoma, the Port of Everett docks serve commercial freight ships around the clock: 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, 365 days a year.

It employs nearly 20,000 people and is wholly owned and operated by the Everett Port Authority, which recently expanded its offices to better administrate.

Seattle Veterans Affairs committee

Type: Municipal Building

Location: Wetmore Avenue, Old Everett

Description: The new Mayor of Everett (and former Mayor of Snohomish) Theodore Stimpson made big moves after acquiring his office. One of the first was to create the Seattle Veterans Affairs committee to service ex-UCAS soldiers and Metroplex Guard soldiers of past and present.

The building itself is entirely new construction, connected via subterranean tunnels to the other buildings in the EBEC so that coordination and work with the other district buildings can never truly be interrupted.

Seattle Ferry Terminal

Type: Transit Terminal

Location: Mukilteo Speedway & Front Street, Mukilteo

Description: This terminal handles arriving and departing ferries from Downtown Seattle and Tacoma as well as to and from the islands of Outremer, Hat Island, and a customs-crossing trip to Clinton on Whidbey Island.

Visitors are advised to arrive 20 minutes prior to scheduled departure, with vehicles arriving 30 to 45 minutes early to ensure boarding. 

Check schedules and departures with the SeaSource Commuter Guide.

The Seattle Ferry up there has come under a lot of heat after it was found to have people from the First Nations and Ko’mungo Ring helping with operations. Nothing illegal has been uncovered yet, but give it time.

Alderwood Mall

Type: Shopping Mall

Location: 36th Avenue West & 184th Street Southwest

Description: Two levels of shopping including a Hardware Etc., Body+Tech, Fashion Flash!, and other stores, as well as a food court.

Beginning at Alderwood Mall, and spreading to many of the shopping meccas, many malls relocated stores and shops to the ground and first floors, with everything above these transformed into apartments and townhomes. Everett Beacon and Alderwood both have full park and athletics facilities with no fewer than two new restaurants at each location. Many places also find ways to keep up their efforts and storefronts, despite the overwhelming popularity of Matrix venues such as those of KongWalmart.

A lot of the new residences may seem a bit irregular, but they are pretty nice. Classist, but nice. You can’t expect to live in one of these unless you are a wage-slave to someone or have an income placing you in a solidly middle-class lifestyles.

One thing of real importance: both Alderwood and Everett Beacon now have heliports for commuter air traffic. A big step toward keeping them relevant in a time of the mall's overall decline and irrelevance.

Bicson Biomedicals

Type: Biomedical Company

Location: Beverly Park Road & 117th Street Southwest, Mukilteo

Description: Bicson started out in the 2040s as a pharmaceutical manufacturer and research lab specializing in drugs related to cyber-implant procedures and maintenance, mainly immunosuppressants and synthesized hormones like beta-endorphins. They grew during the boom in biotechnologies in the 2050s, and Cross Applied Technologies bought them in 2055, making them a subsidiary of Cross Biomedical. When CATCo. folded after the death of its founder and CEO, Lucien Cross, Bicson was one of various company assets bought up in the feeding frenzy that followed. It finally landed with Shiawase, which kept the company name and folded it under the administration of the corporation’s Northwest division.

Bicson continues developing drugs related to cyberware and bioware technologies, notably improved neural gels, nanoviruses, and gene therapies to handle rejection issues. The results of their research are funneled into Shiawase’s facilities in the metroplex and then to the corporation’s head office. The manufacturing aspects of the business have largely been shifted to other subsidiaries, although Bicson does have sufficient on-site manufacturing to produce trial series of drugs for testing.

Billing's Medical Services

Type: Health Maintenance Organization

Location: 188th Street & Pacific Highway, Mukilteo

Description: A private health maintenance organization offering medical services to subscribers of accepted health plans, including DocWagon™. 

Check your health-care provider plan for information and compatibility. 

Billing’s changed hands about 20 - 25 years ago due to some mismanagement and a scandal over illegal organ peddling. 

All the word on the street suggests things haven’t changed much under the new management.

BP Smithers Faucet Works

Type: Specialty Shop

Location: 36th Avenue West, Lynnwood

Description: Owned and operated by Brent D. Smithers, the ork in charge of the Carpenters Local (CLU #562) union, BP Smithers Faucet Works is a fully functioning business but its basement also acts as the union hall.

Located near the Alderwood Mall, its the go-to choice for kitchen fittings and work when you're working with actual, real wood.

CityScapes

Type: Infrastructure Services Company

Location: Railway Avenue, Old Everett

Description: CityScapes is an infrastructure services company that is still unrated with locations in several larger cities in the Americas. Their Seattle location is located at the end of Railway Avenue, where the Snohomish River takes another turn. The land they are on was part of the purchase by a yet unknown party that immediately transferred the land over to Everett and out of Snohomish district's hands.

CityScapes is something of an enigma, with many questions about their board of directors, many of whom are believed to be great-form free spirits. They also have a sizable number of Awakened employees on their rosters - nearly twenty percent of all employees, with the Everett location showing an unimaginable thirty percent of the local workforce as Awakened. Their work and the contract-completion record they hold, completing jobs in half the time taken by other firms, is noteworthy.

Dadson Vision Entertainments

Type: Production Company

Location: 7th Avenue & Everett Mall Way Southeast, Intercity

Description: DVE (as it appears on its logo), based in California, produces simsense and trideo programs. 

The Seattle studio recruits promising talent from the clubs and other venues of the metroplex to star in their productions, along with new electronic and sim-development talent in the metroplex.

The company turns out both high- and low-grade programs of all kinds, including their popular CityQuest™ series of sims (featuring shamanic imagery in the urban environment as a meditation and “spiritual development aid”).

Darrington Correctional Facility

Type: Correctional Facility

Location: 3100 196th Street Southwest, Alderwood Manor

Description: A maximum-security prison in Everett, Darrington is privately run like most prisons in Seattle and Lone Star officially oversees its operation now, although Mitsuhama has come forward with hardware and personnel in recent months.

Darrington maintains order with a zero-zone mentality: escapees and anyone assisting them are kill-on-sight and, thus far, no one has been able to break that rule.

With the changes and clearing out of the neighborhood around it following the post-independence gentrification of Alderwood Manor, several of the UCAS prisoners were transferred out to other locations recently, but still more than half of those remain. 

Those who remain at Darrington are people that have done something bad to one of the megas, Seattle itself, or with the Salish-Shidhe.

Elsie's

Type: Lore Shop

Location: Mukilteo Speedway & Chennault Beach Roach, Mukilteo

Description: This ramshackle building - from the ground - is an unnamed shop which sells lore books, talismans, and shamanic curios. 

Run by a rat shaman called Elsie, she's always on the look out for more fun objects and has a generally good disposition despite the run-down place she makes her business at. Another plus is that it's just above Rikki's Rathole - a charming little watering hole located in the basement.

Thanks to Rikki's Rathole being a runaway success, Elsie's has begun selling of a lot of earth-based telesma and reagents to the construction and clean-up happening around the district and there's talk of adding on a second level if business keeps being this good.

Everett Beacon Mall

Type: Shopping Mall

Location: 100th Street Southeast, Eastmont

Description: The Everett Beacon Mall remains the district’s largest shopping center with a wide selection of stores.

With the decline of malls everywhere, even the well-established Everett Beacon Mall, things had to change. It followed the lead of the Alderwood Mall and relocated all of the stores to the ground level, turning its upper levels into apartments and townhomes. Beacon Mall also added on a full park and athletics facilities with no fewer than two new restaurants to cater to residents first - specifically because unless you're a wage-slave to someone or have an income placing you solidly into a middle-class lifestyle you will never be able to rent or purchase a home at the Beacon Mall

One thing of real importance that allowed the residential reorganization to succeed was rooftop heliports for commuter air traffic.

Beacon specifically is something of a fortress, its features including blanket surveillance monitored by expert systems and regularly by online security monitors; uniformed guards armed with stun batons and rubber bullets; heavy gates able to seal off areas of the mall in an emergency. Essentially, the place is almost a fortress, just so people can feel at least somewhat safe.

Everett District Community College

Type: Private 

Location: 2000 Tower Street, Old Everett

Description: This 2 year community college offers a variety of associate degree programs and preparatory programs for 4 year colleges and universities. In recent years, Everett District Community College has seen a curriculum expansion into basic naval and civil engineering as well as criminal law and customs handling. 

Maersk and Evo both issued a lot of grants for the school recently, as did Renraku and Shiawase. What might’ve been seen as a tech school or a place to get an associate’s degree is now being looked at as a step toward much bigger and better things by the locals.

Located near the Legion Memorial Golf Course, the college has broad, green grounds, and students can often be found studying and enjoying time outside in good weather.

Everett Marina

Type: Marina

Location: West Marine View Drive, Old Everett

Description: Everett has the largest marina on the west coast of North America, with some 2,500 boat slips. The Everett Marina is home to several yacht clubs, including the Everett Yacht Club (dating back to 1895), the Mukilteo Yacht Club, the Milltown Sailing Association, and the Dagmars Yacht Club. The waterfront area around the Marina features shopping, public trails and fishing docks, and pleasant landscaped areas like Bayside View Park. You can rent a boat from one of the many companies at the Marina, take a day cruise, or spend an afternoon on the waterfront enjoying the shops, and then dining in one of the several fine restaurants in the area. 

Lone Star and metroplex authorities keep an eye on the Everett Marina but with thousands of boats and boat moorings it is nearly impossible for them to keep track of everyone’s comings and goings or to check every boat for contraband every time it comes in to tie-up. So it’s fairly easy for smugglers to rendezvous out away from shore and return with small goods; crates of stuff attract too much attention. The heavier smuggling takes place along the shoreline without proper docking facilities, usually brought ashore in small launches.

The Everett Yacht Club and its ilk remain largely the privilege of the idle rich, able to afford owning, maintaining, and using a boat for recreation. As it has always been, it’s a place to make contacts and cut deals over drinks at the clubhouse. Sometimes more business goes on here than in the average corporate boardroom.

Federated-Boeing Everett Facility

Type: Industrial Park

Location: 938 84th Street Southwest, Boeingville

Description: Federated-Boeing’s Everett factories design and assemble the huge aircraft and spaceplanes for which the corporation is so well known throughout the world. The facility has 10 main factories (along with fabricators and mini-facs), 5 located under the roof of one of the largest buildings in the world, which contains the assembly line for the colossal Boeing 828 series. 

Surrounding the factories and runways of Paine Field is a corporate housing community known as “Boeingville.” The company apartments and condos here are supplied to certain employees as part of their contract, complete with amenities like entertainment and utilities. Federated-Boeing Security provides police and emergency services for the corporate community, making Boeingville one of the cleanest and safest neighborhoods in Seattle.

Federated-Boeing Everett Facility is the district’s largest employer but its expansions plan elsewhere in the Seattle sprawl are finally taking shape, which means this location is starting to bump up its hiring plans as well as expanding its corporate housing projects that sit adjacent to the grounds. Its grip on the area remains pretty near absolute and its directors are busy considering a whole list of new opportunities now that Seattle is a Free City. Paine Field remains its principal test field, but talks are underway to join up with the airfields in Fort Lewis as well.

Hajek's Computers

Type: Computer Shop

Location: 194th Street Southwest & 44th Avenue West, Lynnwood

Description: The largest independent dealer in computer hardware and software in the district. 

Angel Hajek knows her stuff and has been supplying to the shadow community for years. 

You’ll pay a decent markup, but you can get what you want with the serial numbers and ID tags removed, as untraceable as it gets these days.

Independent Information Network

Type: News Network

Location: 36th Avenue West & 179th Street Southwest, Lynnwood

Description: INN remains one of Seattle’s major news networks. Tours and an informational multimedia presentation are available to visitors.

With all the actions surrounding independence they have hired more than two dozen reporters and have reached out to 5 times that number of stringers to cover what is going on. In a complete twist, they have cancelled nearly all their talk shows, instead transforming all those time slots into topic specific news highlights.

News at 12 p.m., 5 p.m., 12 a.m., and 6 a.m. Weather always follows that, with business an hour later, and then Seattle in Focus 2 hours after that, with a rotating district breakdown by day. Crime is always the last slot before the rotations start over, with the overnight and late-morning programming providing longer slots for more detailed stories.

Ingersoll-Berkley Soy Processing

Type: Farm

Location: Foster Slough Road & G.A.R. Road, Fobes Hill

Description: Ingersoll-Berkley Soy Processing remains one of the mainstay food-processing and production forces in Seattle. Tours of the facility are available daily from their visitor center.

They produce more than a hundred different staples for the sprawl’s upper-lower- and middle-income households and have recently engineered their own version faux steaks and hamburger. Their product line BEEFEE! is set to be released in time for summer cookouts and neighborhood block parties and has had to resort to a pre-order system due to the level of demand far exceeding their production capabilities. 

The aquaculture lagoons have been cleaned up after an accident a couple years ago nearly wiped out all of their crustaceans and fish stocks.

Kennedy's Cheap Electronics

Type: Cyberclinic

Location: 16th Avenue & Baker Street, Silver Lake 

Description: The front of the store is your typical Kennedy's: used, cheap, and last-generation electronics sold for bargain bin prices and usually to the lowest common denominator (e.g. burner devices).

This electronics shop is a front for a cyberclinic run by a mafia-connected street doctor with an actual medical license. If you want a cyberware implant from him, a former patient of the clinic has to first vouch for you personally.

Word on the street is that work here is reliable and they have the ability to do alpha-grade implantation, which are usually provided by the mafia.

KondOrchid Shipping Depot

Type: Distribution Facility

Location: West Marine View Drive, Old Everett

Description: KondOrchid (KO), a worldwide shipping corporation with contracts throughout the Pacific Rim, owns this warehouse and distribution facility on the Everett docks. It was also at the center of the distribution of Tempo into the metroplex in the 2070's and remains a front for the Olaya Cartel who work with the First Nations gang in Everett. 

The complex of 3 warehouses, with associated piers and loading docks, is still operational and carrying out the company’s regular business of moving shipping containers. Exactly what some of those containers hold is of interest to various parties, including the Yakuza, Lone Star, and a few other multinationals.

KO upgraded their security at the depot during the Tempo crackdowns, adding some aerial surveillance drones and water elementals to the existing manned patrols and Doberman surface drones on the perimeter. They still have a 4-meter electrified fence around the property as well. A lot of the interior operations are automated to cut down on the number of on-site personnel.

Lynnwood Library

Type: Library

Location: 19200 44th Avenue West, Lynnwood

Description: A local landmark, the Lynnwood Library retains its impressive collection of all things magical (named the Moon Collection after former head librarian Craig Moon who spent 35 years compiling the largest collection of occult reference materials in North America), but it has had to increase their security around it. Thankfully the locals and the metroplex government regard the public portions of the Moon Collection as important and even disregarding funding by several local universities, talismongers, and bibliophiles the metroplex government seems more than willing to foot the bill should push come to shove.

They remain an extension of the Seattle library system (also known as SeaSource) but have managed to keep their relative distance from corporate influence only through the sheer power of networking and - known to few - shadowrunning.

For the shadows, it is a very turf-neutral location and no one wants to see it lose its diversity and community connections. Even with the local talent, some hooding has taken place to keep the library as self supporting as it can.

Microdeck

Type: Computer Shop

Location: 36th Avenue West & 184th Street Southwest

Description: Located in the Alderwood Mall, Microdeck's flagship store in the Seattle Metroplex has remained hanging by a thread despite Microdeck's troubles, the decline of malls, and the re-invigoration of Matrix shopping since Crash 2.0.

What has been keeping the Microdeck stores themselves relevant are largely physical product releasese, taking a page out of the Ares-owned tech giant Apple's book. 

Consoles, commlinks, dataterms, and any other physical peripheral can and will be released here earlier than anywhere else in the world if Microdeck designs, manufactures, or publishes the product.

The Wire

Type: Specialty Shop

Location: 92nt Street Southwest, Mukilteo

Description: The Wire is an electrician's shop owned and operated by Jonah Rambeau, the current head of the International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers (IBEW #191) union in Everett.

Business is good, fair, but not necessarily groundbreaking. Its Jonah Rambeau that put The Wire on the map, as he's a human with a strong sense of loyalty and a superhuman understanding of electricity. A few think he’s an adept of some sort, but no solid proof has been put forward to support that.

The second floor of The Wire acts as IBEW #191's union hall, the stairs in the back often have a small group of union members smoking or discussing their days regardless of the hour.

Thomas Lake Mining & Oil

Type: Mining Cooperative

Location: 35th Avenue Southeast, Eastmont

Description: Founded in 2044 by a cooperative of dwarf miners, this company is a Seattle success story. After the cooperative bought the property around Thomas Lake, they discovered rich deposits of metals, including silver and titanium. Ever since, the company has steadily expanded, acquiring mining rights in the Salish-Shidhe Council and parts of the former Ute territory.

Thomas Lake Mining and Oil made sizable moves due to metal sales in recent years and continue to expand their mining rights through Salish Shidhe and PCC lands and up toward the Algonkian-Manitou Council. They have an active EEO statement, but many people have noticed that their standards favor dwarf and human employees. They continue their philanthropic work toward all variants of the dwarf metatype, even so far as to develop their own trade language.

Quickway

Type: Grocery Store

Location: 9th Avenue North & Glen Street, Edmonds

Description: Quickway is a mid-tier supermarket chain. They provide grocery items, food, and general merchandise and feature in each location of theirs a bakery, delicatessen, floral department, pharmacy, as well as a Soybucks.

A California Free State company, Quickway mostly operates on the western seaboard and is a survivor of the now-dead Safeway brand of grocery chains that disappeared around the Crash of 2029.

Notable with Quickway is their pre-scheduled delivery service, which has allowed them to rapidly expand and retain market share even in the wake of Crash 2.0. 

Quickway purposefully avoids contract-oriented delivery work that is often provided by a third party company and instead hires its own fleet of delivery vehicles and drones, making their deliveries with their brand in full-view with a guarantee of quality. This service has kept them not only relevant but popular among the North American middle-class for just over a century.

Travis Memorial Hospital

Type: Hospital

Location: Norma Beach Road & 52nd Avenue West, Norma Beach

Description: This Everett hospital is famous for its burn treatment center as well as its cancer treatment facility, largely due to its unique combination of excellent physicians and accredited magical healers for complete holistic treatment of a patient’s needs.

Travis Memorial pioneered a cooperative approach between medical science and healing magic over thirty years ago. They have made considerable progress in the treatment of cellular injuries and disorders like burns and tumor-growth, which magic can often heal in a less invasive manner than surgery or even gene-therapy (although the hospital still uses both to supplement treatment). Extensive magical treatment is expensive, however, and many HMOs and insurance programs still won’t fully cover it.

On the down-low, they have managed to develop a holistic rehabilitation technique for individuals seeking options regarding restoration of their whole being after cyber- or bioware removal. No one has leaped at this yet, but it’s certain to bring them lots of attention, wanted or otherwise.

Everett General

Type: Hospital

Location: 13th Street & Colby Avenue, Old Everett

Description: Everett General is an excellent general care provider brought to you by Spinrad Global.

Back in 2051, Everett General had some serious embezzlement trouble that essentially bankrupted the place. 

Fuchi became their white knight and rode in to buy up their debt, adding the corporate logo to the sign and letterhead and largely allowing the place to run as before.

Although the sign has changed a few times (to Novatech, then NeoNET, now Spinrad Global), Everett General maintains its standards of medical treatment, although its interest in treating the uninsured and offering free clinics has steadily declined to near non-existence.

Everett Naval Hospital

Type: Hospital

Location: 916 East Pacific Avenue, Old Everett

Description: Originally restricted to military personnel, a generous grant from the United Corporate Council and the permission of the UCAS government opened the doors of the Everett Naval Hospital to the public in 2021.

The decision was largely in response to Goblinization Day, and the near collapse of the health care system under the burden of dealing with all of the “victims” of UGE at the time. 

The hospital is civilian-run these days, although its future was uncertain in the face of independence as many of the staff were UCAS military. 

DocWagon and Seattle managed to sign an arrangement to keep the hospital available to the residents of Everett with the inclusion of a new checkpoint system to the grounds and buildings that directly service Everett's new influx of mercenary personnel.

Lone Star Forces Everett

Type: Corporate Headquarters

Location: Broadway Avenue & Tower Street, Old Everett

Description: It didn’t take any time at all for Lone Star to step back into its old location, and then promptly vacate a week later. It seems the old building was discovered to be bugged by more than forty odd tags and wireless devices.

They moved into their new location just off Broadway and Tower Street and settled in with time to spare. A new district jail has been set up, which supposedly can hold up to one hundred rough-n-tumblers. Smaller hubs were being established through the district in a fashion, something like local fire stations. These hubs usually have three to four units active at any one time and include safe boxes for people to run if necessary.

Chief Lieutenant Roberta Sagnon is the district lead for Everett, a returning veteran who got a promotion out of the reinstatement and who has been seen both at the central district station and in one of the APCs, an up-armored Appaloosa that has can take a beating and deliver a counterpunch, with a ram-plate that would make a Roadmaster think twice.

Word is that several of these have been sent to any station that has a major highway moving through it, which in Seattle is nearly all of them. Which might mean there is probably a second one in the district as well. So do not expect to see them everywhere, it will just feel like they are
