Seattle Exclusionary Zone

The Seattle Exclusionary Zone, or SEZ is the ruins of the former West Coast city of Seattle. After the detonation of an atomic bomb in the Lake City Dead Zone, much of the city was turned into rubble, with the survivors fleeing eastward under the protection of the US Marines, or to the fledgling Republic of Port Townsend.

The area is sparsely populated, although some small settlements exist, such as the Free City of Shoreline. The Zone experiences frequent radiation storms blowing out of the Lake City Dead Zone. Much of Seattle is now inhabited only by raiders and bandits.
