Seattle Sourcebook:: Places to go, People to see

Serious Paul · Post by **Serious Paul** » Mon Jun 10, 2002 6:08 pm

Over the last 13 years I have added a variety of locations to the Seattle Sourcebook. Be it a lore shop or the Aztlan Embassy, I have some stuff. So I thought I'd share it with all of you. I wil attempt to keep it in the same format as the Seattle Sourcebook.

I will post each one seperate from each other for ease of use.

[EDIT]If you would like to post a location here, please fell free. I ask only that you follow format. I will start a seperate thread if there is demand for Commentary.[EDIT]

Located just behind the railroad tracks that run between Elliot Ave. and Alaskan Way the Edge is reknowned for bar fights and chromed bikes.

>Eddie is old for an Ork, at 56, but he looks to be in his midthirties. eddie's chrome is old, most of it predates 2037, but it is all top shelf. Eddie also still maintains conatcts with his old employers. Eddie is also a good source for information on what the Shadows used to be, and how they got started.<

Matchsticks has successfully recaptured the roaring 1920's. The interior of this nightclub is an elegant mix of modren conveinance and 20th century Jazz history. Live Jazz music is performed nightly and a fair number of upcoming Jazz muscians have gotten started here.

>The clubs Bartender Raymond "Two-tone" Miller, is probably one of the best trumpet men west of New Orleans.<

>Matchsticks is definitely a Mafia owned establishment. The ninteen twenties deco seems to ahve brought out the best in them, and they dress the part complete with Zoot style suits and 1930's kit cars.

Patrons are pampered, for a price, and have a not only the choice of a wide variety of Joy Girls and Boys, but also a wide variety of personas and sculpted personas to go with them.

North American Hunters Association
Lodge and Small bar archetype, 16th Ave S, Sir Geoffory Morgan, Manager, Subtle Bias towards nonmembers, Ltg NA/UCAS-SEA 206-444-8931

Originally known as the Seattle Safari Club, they changed their names a few years back to the North American Hunters Association. Membership numbers and information are kept private, but some easy digging will reveal that mainly members are corporate and human, most working midlevel sariman jobs. The lodge is really a four story warehouse that has been converted into a facsimile of a British hunting lodge, or at least what the trideos make them out to be. Large spacious rooms, called sitting rooms provide a quiet atmosphere in which lies are exchanged and big game trohies admired. A small Bar known as the Congo room serves members who have some luxury time.

>More than a few local Lone Star officers have memberships, and so do a good number of Corporate security goons. Most of these memberships are awarded for "meritorious service to the city of Seattle." What drek. The suits need to have some one around who knows how to use a gun.<

The MetroPlex Armory houses most of the local Guards small arms and ammunition, as well as some crew served weapons, and the occasional Light Fighting Vechile. The facilility primarily serves as a centralized training area for the Downtown units (Both C co. and B co. of the 134th MetroPlex Guard Battalion.) allowing Guardsmen to spend time in sensory deprivation for simsense training and classrooms for OJT and book learning. The Armory also hosts local events ranging from Veterans affairs, to High School wrestling matches to job fairs.

>Colonel Eisenhower is a direct descendant of the 20th century legendary five star General and President, Dwight D. Eisenhower.His commision came late in life and mainly as an attempt to add some sort of credibility to the Guard. His degree is in Business management and you can bt he has close conatcts int he local Corporations. Like all young men,the Colonel is only 27, he is a bit rash and hotheaded. His temper is legendary around the Armory, which he sees as his personal fiefdom.<
>Armory Rat

>The Armory holds a little more than just small arms, althoug any one stupid enough to make a play for the good stuff deserves what he gets.

Father Iacopo Librizze is in charge of public relations and liason.

>St James is also home to Vasater. The Vaticans Secret Anti Terrorist task force. They handle situations that the big hats in Rome think need a hard touch. Father Librizze is a Troll and the head leg breaker for the church. These guys are outfitted with top notch chrome and have training that would make a Mossad agent blanche.<

>Uhmm. Okay chummer. So any ways...Father Librizze is the most personable Troll I have ever met. He is a quiet unassuming man, who knows his scripture.

The Barricade
Large Bar and Grill archetype, Mile Marker 65 Interstate 495, Zoie Thayer, Owner and operator, Bias against non cops, Ltg NA/UCAS-SEA 209-445-7681

The Barricade is unique amongst the many bars and nightclubs of Seattle. It actually sits in the middle of Interstate 5. Formerly a roadside rest area, it had been bought back in the thirties and converted into a hotel. The hotel had quickly attracted the exact opposite clientel that it had wanted, and soon after went out of business. It was then purchased by its current owner a woman named Zoie. Zoie had painstakenly remodeled the place into an irish style pub, with a large dining area with a small dance floor. It had quickly become a favorite of Law Enforcement Officials everywhere. The Barricade is great place for a good Irish beer and a real steak at decent prices.

>Zoie has either got some good damn luck or friends who care. She managed to buy to buy the site for the Barricade dirt cheap, some where in the neighborhood of less than 60 percent of the market value. She also managed to skirt, avoid, bypass or balatantly ignore most all of the local zoning ordinances while building the joint. She also managed to make money off building the place! How she managed that I will never know.<
>Bob the Builder
Can we do it? Yes we can!

>Zoie was an Ares SPO back int he day.She was standing too close to a client when some major bad ritual juju came down the pipe. Third degree burns across her thorax and lower legs.

For hot clubs outside the downtown area, this is it. Salina has went to huge lengths in order to make this the place for all the hot up an comings in the Seattle upper echelon. Security is of course top notch, but once inside, its a meat market for the terminally rich.

The dance floor encompasses most of the space on the ground level with 3 bars surrounding it. Once you leave ground level you have a few choices, pay top dollar for a "private party" room, Mingle with others, or go dancing on one of the three rotating glass dance floors. Salina is an accomplished mage who uses magic to keep this discs rotating.

Medium theatre, Address pending, Danny Kale - owner, Silvia Hart - manager, Bias against rich,

Baker Street Theatre is a clever play on words, fitting for the business. While there is no Baker Street in Seattle, The half theatre is open to the street which doubles as the audience. Once a promanent opera house as near as anyone can tell, half the buildiing was demolished at some point, leaving only the stage and its wings intact. Danny Kale, the founder and owner, bought the small building adjacent to the theatre to serve as the storage and offices, while the actual stage and equipment is used to put on productions. The actors and crew are all locals to the neighborhood, mostly SINless bums. Whether Silvia provides classics or homegrown scripts, the productions are often entertaining. There is limited seating on decent benches on the property which customers pay for, by peope are encouraged to bring chairs and sit on the sidealk, or watch from the roofs across the street or next to the building.

>Baker Street isn't as in bad shape as Danny would have you believe. Sure, it looks like the place is gonna fall down any minute, but that half building is rock solid and the tech equipment is pretty good, too. We don't much like rich kids hanging around, but I hear its becoming a hot spot for corp kids who want to slum it<

Shadow Dentist's office, 3 Oak Plaza, dislike of debt collectors and members of the medical establishment, distrust of law enforcement types. Ltg 867-538-9911

The modern shadowrunner or SINless individual often overlooks some of the smaller needs, such as hygene. In particular, dental hygene. With a diet of food such as sloppy soys and high-action choco-bars, teeth can rot very easily. Unfortunately, dentistry is one area of medicine very under the thumb of corporate interests. No SIN or corporate equivalent, no fillings. It's a rare facility that breaks these rules and Dr. Forrest Sherman, DDS, runs one of them. For a few nuyen more in 'processing costs', he'll be happy to provide services to the systematically disadvantaged. His facilities are spartan, but clean, and run on normal business hours.

>Let me tell you, brother, this guy is a lifesaver. A little nervous, maybe, but I suppose that comes with dealing with folks like me. I had to get a root canal after a particularly bad bar fight, and he's the only guy who even let me in the door.

>This terminal has become something of legend in the Shadowrunning community. It's not that it's any different from any of the other terminals out there (although it is older than most), just it's a piece of history that's still standing for some reason. It was from this terminal that various deckers throughout history have made some of the largest datasteals, due to it having been in such a horrific area that was later re-developed. The old terminal still stands, mostly due to the public redevelopment plans being adjusted from the terminal. It's seen brainwaves via datajacks of deckers such as Mirage, Echo Dolphin, Fastjack, and of course, the good Captain Chaos himself.<

DeLon design is one of the best places in Seattle to find the latest fashions being favored by the social elite, as well as any custom-tailored clothing that one can pay for.

All customers are equal in Tony's eyes, some more equal than others depending on the size of their credstick.

The merchandise ranges from the latest being worn in the boardrooms, to the flashiest being worn on the dancefloor. They all have one thing in common, however: their hefty pricetag.

Address (Somebody get me something on the south edge of downtown), Patches, Owner and Operator, Strong bias for the poor and toward techheads, strong bias against corpsec, Ltg NA/UCAS-SEA-815-379-2255

Just on the southern edge of downtown is Steel Rain. It’s a home away from home for nostalgic businessmen from across the Pacific. Twenty-four hours a day, you can hear the vibrantly chaotic sounds of three hundred pachinko machines in this building. They are lined up facing each other in long rows of twenty-five machines. At the end of each row is a changing machine spits out small, nearly indestructible metal-ceramic ball bearings. One nuyen will get you 400 balls.

Pachinko works like it always has, but bound spirits, holography, miniature drones and simsense have made it more than just watching the steel rain shower down through spinners and pins. These machines are always in top condition and are upgraded regularly. Steel Rain is a virtual Mecca for Japanese pachinko faithful. The prizes run the gamut from cheap food, to toys, to fairly expensive jewelry and watches.

Security is tight, as the man in charge, Patches, is Maximum Metal. So far as anyone can tell, this eight foot behemoth is at least sixty percent combat-quality cybernetics. Both legs and his left arm are full cyber replacement, and he’s been fully body plated as well. He’s always out front, and one must assume he’s got a sleep regulator as well, as he’s there for days at a time. His staff consists of three or four nice looking girls on the other side of some decent-strength armored wall and two way monitors.

Patches always has a soft spot for folks who look like they happen to be out of luck. He’s always got a few extra kilograms of ball bearings in a pocket that he happily hands over to folks who look like they could use a package of krill cakes or a cheap thermo blanket.

>You have to watch your ass around Patches, that freak throws a punch that dents a mobmaster

Even without a liquor license the club was a success, and a liquor license and 5 day a week operations soon followed (The club is closed Mondays and Tuesdays.)

Designed to be a neutral place where Ghouls, a small minority that is rapidly growing in Seattle, can meet and discuss thier daily lives over a bite to eat. Hidden behind a small cannery the Eatery is very strict on admitting Ghouls only, and maintaining its secrecy.

>Talk about all the ambience of an abbatoir. This place is lit like a graveyard on a moonless night and smells like a slaughterhouse at highnoon. And listening to these bone crunching cannibals is like listening to someone scartch a chalkboard witht heir fingernails.Avoid this joint at all costs, unless yuo want to be part of that nights Ala Cart menu.<
>Digger

>Ghouls don't see like you and me Chummers. This place is barely lit in the traditional sense, but in astral this place is lit like a friggin' carnival. Some sort of anchored spell lights this joint. Remember that chumpals.<

The Dancing Ronin

Nightclub Archetype, (Address pending), Koshiro Mishura, owner, slight bias against trolls and orks, LTG 532-982-3221

One of the more bizarre nightspots in Seattle, the Dancing Ronin is contained within what appears at first glance to be nothing more than a large warehouse. A small, comparitively subtle green neon sign indicates the entrance. However the inside of the club is something of a marvel to behold. The spacious interior has been segmented into four distinctly different musical areas with the use of giant slabs of specially treated reinforced glass, so that nightclub patrons appear to be dancing inside one of four giant rectangular prisms, two at ground level, two on the first floor. Sound proofed "buffer" areas containing walkways and stairwells provide access to adjoining sections, in addition to some small seating areas provided for tired partygoers to escape the noise and relax in comparitive peace for a few minutes.

<Here's the voice of experience, ladies. I wouldn't suggest wearing any low cut tops when you're dancing on any of the ground level rooms otherwise you'll attract a lot of attention, unwanted or otherwise, from those dancing immediately above you. Drool on glass is so passe.>
-Razorsmile

<All that glass, I bet it looks *really* pretty at the end of a hard nights partying, with the sweat, the beer and the drool. Nice. Who's stupid idea was this?>
-Ubergeist

< A great place to go if you want to make friends with the Yakuza, thats for sure. Watch your step. I also heard the Dancing Ronin has a well hidden fifth basement area which is little more than a combat arena, where those unfortunate enough to offend the Yaks sensibilities get treated to their own private 'party'. At best you'll get a severe beating, at worst...use your imagination, chummers. >
-TenTonHammmer

<All of TenTonHammers observations are simply rumours started by my less successful competitors in a fit of jealously. The Yakuza hold no sway in my establishment and all this talk of a secret 'combat arena' is pure fiction.>
-JadeDragon

<Yeah right! I got some pretty unfunny scars from your nonexistent arena, you fraghead!> <<<DisplayImage:SuckingChestWound.jpg>>>
-ColdSteele

<Ouch. Ouch. Ouch.>
-TenTonHammer.

KSBW Channel 233
Small Trideo Station Archetype, Location Varies, Managers Vary, No Bias, No Ltg

KSBW Channle 233 is an independent Pirate Trideo Station that operates from a series of vans and pirated stellittes. They particularly like to subvert corporate channels, and Aztlan sponsored stations. Their broadcast format is very anticorporate and proenvironment.

>They are also neck deep in the Seattle Independence Movement. Although no one really runs KSBW, Nicholas Ivanovich is the force behind the Independence peoples. He has connections with a lot of the polis that run the steets of downtown and has manged to scoop some of the bigger stations at times. Guy is a pitbull.<
>Solid Steel

>Which is why his entourage is mostly muscle boys from the SIM. Apparently NBS and the others took exception to being second best. Nick lost his woman Rose in what was dubbed by the Star as an accidental electrocution. The SIM boys decided they wanted some hard boys with him at all times, which didn't sit so well with Nick at first. he kept trying to duck them. I guess they must have figured a way to make him see the light.<
>Face

>Well after a couple of Corp Hitters made a pizza pie out of his face, he saw reason.<

The Dennis Steinmeijer Monument.
Small Island Archetype/Monument, Bainbridge Island, David Reeves, Caretaker and Manager, Bias Towards Hostile People, Ltg NA/UCAS-SEA206-842-4243

Dedicated in the year after Dennis Steinmeijers death in 2050, this monument is dedicated towards the warrior principles he upheld so well in life. A thirty foot statue of Dennis Steinmeijer was erected along with three Dojo buildings. The islands monks take good care of the grounds and have begun construction on a rock garden.

>These guys are weird, chummer. They preach all that nonviolence crap, but they must practice Martial Arts Katas 16 hours a day, and gawd help you if you pick a fight witht hese guys. They'll escort you to the docks and on to the first boat back to Downtown.<
>MCA

>Dennis Steinmeijer was a physical Adept, and a dmaned good one.The monks were originally his students, and after his death they built this place to pay homage to a great teacher. Need a quiet place to lay low and lick your chops? They might help you. Need to learn a fighting style? Chances are they know it.<
>Home Piece

>The whole Island is beautiful. Serene gardens, statues of great warriors, Monks teaching classes. Its almost like a bad amrtial arts movie, if weren't so damn serious. A lot of the Monks are also PhysAds,and a couple are also rumored to be mages and initiates.<
>Zeus
