Mod:Fallout: Cascadia/Locations

A list of locations

Des Moines
Des Moines sits next to the Puget Sound, and while it was once a proud shipyard and vacation destination, it now sits abandoned. Scavengers occasionally pick through the town, while Mirelurks and Orclaws fight for dominance over the ruins, both trying to make the town their nest. The occasional group of settlers have tried taking back the town, only to end up dead. Because of this, many locals believe the area is cursed.

Seattle
Downtown Seattle, now referred to as Downtown, is home to many monsters, raider gangs, and malfunctioning robots. Despite this, scavengers risk their lives and enter the sprawling ruins to recover valuable salvage, hoping to sell it at Pike’s Place or Cascade and get rich. Few of them ever make it back, even fewer in one piece.

Mercer Island
Mercer Island is currently home to no one, beyond feral ghouls and other wasteland threats. Attempts have been made to settle on the island, with little success. A clever scavenger could make a tidy profit off of the island, provided that they can make it across the irradiated waters of Lake Washington first.

Kent
Kent is a small, quiet town currently held by the NCR as an outpost. Decently populated and safe, immigrants from the NCR travel up to it for a new life on “the frontier”, though the average soldier sent there sees it as more of a dead end. Few people who travel to Kent end up leaving, given the vast amount of land between it and the nearest settlements.

Redmond
Redmond, before the war, was a city on the rise. It boasted large skyscrapers and technological achievements, both of which ceased mattering on October 23rd, 2077. The city is now home to many dangers, chief among them being the Greenbacks, raiders with an affinity for energy weapons and all other forms of technology. Their hold on the city is threatened, however, by Mirelurks trying to expand their colony to the city from the nearby lake.

Bridgetown
Bridgetown is situated on top of a bridge spanning lake Washington. Originally constructed as a visitor’s center for Cascade in 2292, over the past few decades it became neglected and impoverished, second to only the Slums in that regard. Make sure to try the boiled radroach if you’re ever passing through!
