==History== | ==History== | ||
At | A settlement on the eastern shore of Elliott Bay was named "Seattle" in 1852, after the name of a chief of the local tribes. Logging was Seattle's first major industry, but by the late-19th century, the city had become a commercial and shipbuilding center as a gateway to [[Alaska]] during the Klondike Gold Rush. After [[World War II]], the city saw major growth, partially due to the Boeing company, which established Seattle as a center for aircraft manufacturing. An economic revival began in Seattle at the end of the 20th Century thanks to software, internet, and biotechnology companies. At some point following the Second Civil War, the dissolution of the United States of America, and the formation of the [[United Republic of North America]], the state of Washington ceased to exist as a political entity. The city eventually grew in size to encompass much of what had surrounded it. Some of the cities engulfed by the spread of Seattle, such as [[Kirkland]], retained their names as subdivisions of the sprawling metropolis.<ref name="Catalog">[[Catalog/Archive/2014]]</ref> As of [[2555]], Dr. [[Luther Mann]] had a modest apartment in the city which he had moved into after his father's death.

Seattle possesses the highest per-capita number of [[coffee]] dispensaries in all of [[human]]-occupied space. Records of the area surrounding the 434 Combat Readiness Lab specifically indicate that there are enough coffee and congealed sugar dispensaries for each resident to have their own.
