Lower Seattle

Lower Seattle is the bottom portion of Seattle in 2071. After Seattle's land charter with the WTO was signed in 2070, most wealthy people either moved into the Enclave, were killed in the rioting, or left the city. All of Seattle not under WTO control is usually referred to as Lower Seattle. The two cities are exact opposites, in that the Enclave has futuristic architecture and more advanced technology, while lower Seattle resembles a 20th century city suffering from severe urban decay. Most upper Seattle citizens are wealthy, while lower Seattle mostly consists of thugs and black market dealers. Lower Seattle has been infested with transgenics, as residents regularly capture, train, and host fights to the death between greasels (locally called "gobs"). In addition, two karkians currently live in the sewers.
