Auburn

Building Seattle’s Future

Auburn is Seattle’s industrial heart, home to many of the metroplex’s factories, refineries, and other manufacturing plants. It’s a blue-collar district, but don’t think that means it has nothing to offer! Auburn is home to plenty of local attractions and entertainment, including the district’s minor league baseball and urban brawl teams (the Auburn Cardinals and the Auburn Rumblers), and a day at the races at the Seattle International Raceway. In the evenings, the district’s restaurants, bars, and nightclubs offer a wide range of nightlife.

> In spite of efforts to brush Auburn with “blue-collar charm,” urban brawl is rapidly outpacing baseball as the entertainment of choice in the district, and no wonder; life in Auburn is crushingly routine. The people living in the district lucky enough to still have jobs work in the various factories doing things better suited to robots, but meat is still cheaper than metal in a lot of cases, and easier to replace. Nights are spent knocking a few back in the local watering holes watching something mindless on the trid (or slotting chips at home), maybe the occasional bar-brawl and bed-partner for the night, then back the next morning to start the whole thing over again.

> Auburn’s also got a lot of the ‘plex’s working-class orks and trolls, which leads to a fair amount of racial tension, further inflamed by a few drinks after work or a shouting match over some dumbass sports thing. Lone Star completely bollixed race relations in the district. Knight Errant has a whole new “outreach” program designed to convince the locals things will be different with them, but it remains to be seen if it’s actually anything other than corporate PR and spin. Any bets?
