The high school has grades 9 - 12, and is well known for preparing its students for successful futures in the higher education system. The school sits on an average sized campus, complete with a courtyard and a few different sports fields.

This university was founded by those of brilliant intelligence that hoped to see future generations enjoy the kind of higher education that they themselves were able to receive. The university is set on a large campus, sprawling out along Seattle's coast line. Students come to the school from all over the nation, majoring in a wide variety of subjects and career choices.

The homes of Seattle range in appearance. You have the homes that are in city limits that consist of apartments and town houses. Then, you have the homes that are on the outskirts of Seattle that are larger and are on bigger pieces of property. The college students live in dorms on the campus of the university.

If you are in need of medical attention, this is where you should go. This hospital is equipped with all of the latest technology and some of the because health care providers on the east coast, and will take care of patients to the best of the staff's ability. However, not every life can be saved, and not all stories have a happy ending. It's all a part of fate.

Shopping. Everyone has to do it, and some even enjoy and love the activity. Seattle's mall isn't one of outstandingly great porportions, but it has enough in it to satisfy every shopper's need. You've got you Bath & Body Works, FYE, Borders, Hot Topic, Macy's, Target... and quite a few more, along with a movie theater and food court. If you're looking for a good way to spend a day, here it is.

With this coffee chain originally founded in Seattle, it only makes since that the cafe is located here. This is generally everyone's favorite place to stop in for a caffeinated beverage of some sort to jump start their day. It's just like any other Starbucks, having all your favorites from drinks to pastries.

Rifters. The name doesn't sound like much, but this is one place that you have to see to fully appreciate. Unlike the other bars/clubs in Seattle, Rifters is a little on the mild side when it comes to the music and dancing, but definitely not when it comes to the drinking. This tends to be more of a college student's place than a high schooler's, and you can tell that much by walking in the door. There are a lot of round tables and booths, with a long bar against the back wall. Come on in and have a drink and share a few laughs. Rifters is all about the liquor and having a good time.

If you're looking for a quiet escape from the city, then the park might just be the place for you to go. Located uptown, this park is quiet, and when you're there it's hard to remember you're in the middle of a heavily populated town. There's a playground for the young, and young at heart, along with different courts for all your sporting needs. A dirt track winds its way through the park, lined with benches here and there so one can relax and enjoy a day outdoors.

The local recreation center is a place for the young and the old. It's a large building that contains an indoor pool, gym, and basketball court. There's also a small dance studio, and some smaller rooms that are used for the classes that the center offers, including piano, painting, and ceramics.

Welcome to Jared's, one of the newest clubs to hit the city of Seattle. Owned by two locals, the club is newly opened and ready for the nightlife of the city. There's a bar in the back corner that will serve up any kind of alcoholic beverage you could ask for, and an open dance floor. Music is constantly pulsing through the speaker, whether it's coming to you from a deejay, or a live local band performing. If you're looking for a good night out, this is one place that you definitely don't want to pass up.

Welcome to the scenic coastline of Seattle. There are plenty of shorelines here as Seattle has water every which way you look. The city also has a harbor, where some smaller cargo ships dock to load and unload different shipments, and where the ferries pick up/ drop off passengers.

Having some car trouble? Need your tires rotated or an inspection done? This is the place that you need. The auto garage is owned by a fellow by the name of Jim Franks, and all of his employees are highly skilled workers. They'll have your car up and running again in no time, can do any amount of body work, and all for a fair price.

Obviously, there are a lot more places to be seen and to go to other than what there are boards made for. To have every place in Seattle on a board would be insane, so here you go. This is where the rest of the city lies, ready to be explored and visited by all the crooked hearts of Seattle.
