Everett

Ships, Planes, and Stormy Weather
The northernmost district of Seattle has long been known for “ships, planes, and stormy weather,” as Everett is located along the northern part of Puget Sound, bordering rural Snohomish and the SalishShidhe Council lands. It is famous as the home of both the Everett Naval Shipyard (UCAS Navy) and Federated Boeing’s aircraft construction facility. With the Snohomish River cutting through the district’s northeastern sector, Everett is also an area of natural beauty, close to hiking trails and rainforest vistas.

> Like Tacoma, Everett was on an upswing through the 2050s as the local government encouraged corporate exploitation of the area, but the Crash of ’64 completely fucked them: wiping out records of land ownership and creating a bureaucratic nightmare that’s still being sorted out almost ten years later. The UCAS military solved some of the problem by seizing “disputed” properties by eminent domain, backed by the metroplex government, and mollifying some of the corps that complained by redistributing some of the wealth to them. The small fry often abandoned properties in the area, letting squatters move in and claim them. Right behind them came the Triads to carve up the booming market in drugs, chips, and illicit sex while providing protection for the various “massage parlors” and strip joints that sprang up.
