Seattle (Nova)
Seattle is a city in the Pacific Northwest and is the capital of the Salish Federation. It is the largest city in the Pacific Northwest by population as of 5/6/2020. The current mayor is JTPilfered, while previous mayors include bw3434 and Pieguy75.
History
Seattle was founded on December 27, 2019, by JTPilfered after the fall of the previous Seattle. Before JTPilfered arrived, there had been 2 towns in the area before, being Snohomish and the previous Seattle, which was originally founded by current citizen cheeseballfluffy. Most of the area that is now the eastern area of Seattle were remnants from the previous Seattle and Snohomish. Almost all of these remnants are destroyed.
It joined the Republic of Cascadia soon after it's founding and began work on Interstate 5, which to this day is the major artery through the districts of Tacoma, Downtown, and the Skagit Valley. It consists of an elevated iceway above an open walkway/road underneath. Some of the first things to be constructed in Seattle were the Columbia Center, the Recruitment Center (now the Salish Ministry of Recruitment), Seattle Center, and the Space Needle.
During early February, JTPilfered along with other members of Cascadia had communications showing their distaste with the current government and how it was run. This led to the separation of Winthrop, Schaumberg, Bend, Seattle, and the neighbouring town of Wenatchee from Cascadia to form the Salish Federation, which is based on the core principle of democracy. Wenatchee was based as the capital of this new nation with a majority of the population of Salish being in Wenatchee.
After this, Washington and the Rio Grande started many attacks against the Salish Federation and their allies, see more about this in Cascadian Civil War or Salish Federation. During the month of March, JTPilfered was the Chancellor of the Salish Federation. It was also during this time that construction began on the City Hall and the Tacoma Dome.
On April 1, JTPilfered and the town of Seattle left the Salish Federation due to the fact that Salish was suffering from immense inactivity, and the nation bonus was decreasing steadily. Seattle joined the State of Jefferson, which emerged from a similar standpoint as Salish and had its capital in Lakeview. During this period Seattle saw massive growth, with the population skyrocketing from 2 people on April 1st to more than 15 people less than 2 days later. This period also saw the claiming of the Kitsap Peninsula which was something that JTP had wanted to for a while. Seattle's tenure with Jefferson only lasted for 19 days, as the Chancellor of Salish (sayerbtheiss) ended up constructing a deal with Vorobyevite (Founder of Salish, Mayor of Wenatchee), JTPilfered, and NoneAvailable (a councillor in Lakeview) that transferred the capital of the Salish Federation from Wenatchee to Seattle, giving an active player (JTPilfered) the ability to control Salish in-game instead of an inactive player like Vorobyevite. This deal also gave Wenatchee to Jefferson.
Current Day
Today, Seattle is a bustling hub of 22 people and is the most populous city in the Pacific Northwest. Since rejoining Salish, it has developed the Kitsap District into a new residential area as well as having free villager trading at the National Spawn in the Tacoma Dome.
Recently, the players JTPilfered, sayerQT, and xGoat_ worked on a project in the Tacoma Dome of a giant 0/4 scale map of the entire pacific northwest. This was finished on May 1 and became the second biggest in-game map in all of EarthMC. Due to a towny rollback, all of the maps have since disappeared.
The Districts of Seattle
Seattle has 4 districts, all in the four corners of Seattle.
Downtown Seattle
Downtown Seattle, in the eastern section of the town, is the oldest and most developed district. It holds some of Seattle's most iconic and tallest buildings, such as the Space Needle, Seattle Center, the Ministry of Recruitment, the City Ice Building, and the MMM Tower. It also hosts some of the region's ice roads connecting neighboring towns.
Tacoma
A smaller district in the southern part of the city near Olympia, Tacoma holds the national spawn, the Tacoma Dome, as well as the Seattle City Hall which currently serves as both the City Hall and as the seat of the Salish Parliament as the original parliament building is in Wenatchee. It is also one of the only spiral buildings in EMC. Tacoma also features the Amazon Doppler Tower and the Amazon Biospheres which group together to form the Amazon Headquarters Complex. The Doppler is the only skyscraper in Seattle that instead of being built by JTPilfered was built by the residents.
Kitsap Peninsula
The largest district by landmass and claim size, the Kitsap Peninsula stretches into the Puget Sound to the west. This district features interweaving canals that are moulded to the shape of the Kitsap Peninsula, as well as considerable greenery and nature, and high-rise apartment buildings and skyscrapers that fit into the surroundings. It is under development.
Skagit Valley
The Skagit Valley District is the smallest district and is right on the edge between Seattle and the wilderness towards Bellingham. This district is still highly undeveloped except for Columbia Centre, which is the tallest building in Salish at Y=230.
