Seattle



"Seattle is home to world class facilities, like the Mako Ballistics Weapon Laboratory and the Tarsus Academies Intermediate Training Facility."

- Deus Ex: Invisible War description

Seattle is one of the cities visited by Alex Denton in Deus Ex: Invisible War.

Background
In 2027, Seattle was one of several american "fortress cities", being under heavy enforcement due to the spiral of economic and civil unrest, rising terrorism, draconian governance and subsequent dissent in the United States.

After 2052 and the Collapse, Seattle chose not to raze its ruins and the city had been divided into two parts, the new rebuilt part called Upper Seattle and the old ruins called Lower Seattle, which became a haven for looters, raiders and those rejected by society, both connected by a massive elevator that carries people and objects between the two parts called the Inclinator.

In 2071, Seattle's WTO charter was ratified to the dismay of many Lower Seattle citizens and the Upper Seattle became a WTO-controlled enclave, became to prospered and became the home to world-class facilities like the Mako Ballistics weapons lab (must be accessed by aircraft) and the one of the Tarsus academies. While Upper Seattle is largely successful and has a thriving economy (albeit controlled by the Illuminati) most of Lower Seattle lives in poverty.
