Seattle folk: if you were living in or around the Seattle area in the '90s or early '00s and can write a summary of 5-6 key areas (neighbourhoods, commercial districts, etc.) in 250-350 words, please drop me an email on colin@byodinsbeardrpg.com for a paid writing gig—background for my #TTRPG.

WIthout context I think its kinda hard to limit to 5-6 key areas. It can span tacoma, everett, bellevue. you got 3-4 unique ones just going from downtown seattle south into SoDo, georgetown and southpark.

That's fair! Essentially, I'm looking to build out a high-level setting guide for Seattle in the '90s; having a smallish group of areas with key points of interest to visit during investigations, across different wealth brackets. Fictionalised but based on some kind of reality, if that makes sense

gotcha. more like shorter entries of various cities, I'd guess. "Cincinnati be like, San Diego be like, Seattle be like..." Like how Shadowrun featured Seattle.

Yeah, exactly. Not a historical simulation but a fictionalised vibe of the time. Won't stand up to actual events but enough for people to say "that's what it felt like to live or visit there."
