Researching matters obscure, Where Spike gets Technical Options

[Spike]

From the looks of things I can pretty much do whatever I like with the Petrowski farms, regardless of how 'Canon-Ninja' my players turn out to be... interesting...

I should point out that I live locally, which is why I'm actually working this hard on a relatively minor bit of geographica... I drive out to Roy and Fredrickburg to pick up friends, almost bought a house in Steillacoom... that sort of thing.... I'm thinking to use that knowledge as a starting point for how things wind up evolving by 2070.

As one example, I imagine that the Bonny Lake area would probably be a popular 'home base' for organized crime figures... while much of the hot spots would be around Puyallup City/Loveland, the town of Bonney Lake is lovely, largely sheilded from the Mt Ranier disaster (being up in the mountains) and close to what I imagine is a poorly guarded chunk of border between Salish-Sidhe and Seattle... perfect for smuggling (what is being smuggled exactly? Aztlan BTLs? Tarriff free tobacco? Real meat?).

Without contradictory information the head of the Puyallup branch of the Mafia pretty much owns this part of the barrens, with much less influence in Loveland than the Yakuza, the Vory and the Triads, who were always better positioned from the start. Thats not to say they don't have interests there (or vice versa), just where the position of strength lies.

I suspect if I thought about it much I'd probaby salt away a few 'Shadowrunner safehouses' up there too. Quieter neighborhood, deep in the barrens and fairly stable. Lovely area too...

I do imagine that the 'population density' of most of the more rural areas has grown extensively since 2017, however. The Carbonado 'Ork' territory is huge and Orks breed fast, dispossessed and refugees of all sorts will find it a far more welcoming home than the metroplex proper. It wouldn't be a dense and urbanized as Redmond, but still more populous than it is currently.

And, just for the amusement value: I can claim to have shopped at the Crime Mall in real life!

now: any street addresses (or ideas) for the Underground 93 club or the Body Shop clinic? Currently I've placed them more or less at random in Puyallup City but that's not really working well for me...

It's in the little nub in the north. pretty much the farthest north you can go.
