Puyallup
Puyallup also known as Puyallup Barrens is a district of Seattle, devastated by the Mount Rainier eruption decades ago. It is a poor and unsafe district. The only district in Seattle which is majority metahuman.
Overview
In the 2020s, when Mount Rainer erupted it buried Puyallup in ash and lava. It was soon afterwards occupied by refugees from the newly established NAN. The majority is a wasteland of rusted factories, abandoned buildings, and squatter camps. Within is Hell's Kitchen, with it's lava fields and boiling geysers. It's residents grow up with the knowledge that any cut or scrape may result in an infection and therefore death, all the while hacking black phlegm. It is a place where sometimes it seems as every every 10 meters there is a new gang.Communities
- Tarislar: An elven ghetto with 1000s of elves unlike most of Puyallup is actually patrolled by Knight Errant whom are paid by the elves to maintain the peace. The Laesa syndicate likewise helps keep things orderly.
- Carbonado: It's a mostly latino and black community of Orks whom have organized themselves and done a good job of defending themselves against predatory gangs and racist attacks. Due to it being a former source of precious metals it is covered with pits, quarries, and tunnels.
Geography
Puyallup is the largest district of Seattle. In the north it borders Auburn, in the south and east, the lands of Salish-Shidhe Council.
It's major landmarks include the Mowich Lawa Flow and the Puyallup River.
Politics
Puyallup City is the only place inside the Puyallup Barrens where something like government still exists. It is kept alive by money brought in by the Mob and Lone Star is present there.
Roy Olmstead has been the mayor of the district since his election in the early 2030s.
Economy
Economy of the district is in a poor shape. Most businesses are either corp-owned, or fronts of organized crime. Inside Puyallup Barrens there is the so-called "Loveland", an amusement mile, where Mafia and Yakuza fight for the money the UCAS Army soldiers from Fort Lewis are willing to spend. Although there are some semi-stable squatter communities like the Crypt as well as the Carbonado ork community, who's inhabitants are able to look after themselves. Tarislar, an elven enclave of exiled elves from Tir Tairngire, is also located inside the Puyallup district. The locals there pay Knight Errant to patrol the streets of Tarislar and the elven Laésa syndicate has its roots there. A good place to buy illegal goods inside the Puyallup Barrens is the Crime Mall, a giant black market in the shell of an old shopping mall.Lone Star Security Ratings
