Redmond Barrens

Life on the Wild Side

Looking for something a little different from your Seattle experience? Head down the 405 and get off the exit at Redmond for a walk on the wild side. While local authorities and UCAS travel advisories warn against going too far off the beaten track in this district of the metroplex, along the 405 bordering Bellevue you can find some of the most exciting nightspots in Seattle, and other cooperative businesses run by local residents, some dating back thirty years. Just be sure to check in with Knight Errant traffic and activity updates on KnightWatch before you make your plans.

> Of course, the Guide is talking about what most Seattleites refer to as “Touristville,” the only part of Redmond outsiders generally get to see, the place to go for a taste of “life on the wild side” without getting too wild or too real. For the actual scoop on the Redmond Barrens, check out the details added to this document.

> That “dating back thirty years” figure? That’s the Guide’s way of mentioning the displacement of metahumans during the Night of Rage without, you know, actually mentioning it in such a fashion as to upset or remind anyone. Redmond has a pretty big population of orks and trolls, and some dwarfs, who provide a lot of those “quaint local crafts.”
