.: Bellevue
Located just across Lake Washington from Downtown, Bellevue is home to some of the smaller corporations in the metroplex, and is filled with upscale, white-collar neighborhoods. Lone Star takes its responsibilities in Bellevue seriously, and there are regular patrols on the streets and in the neighbourhoods. A significant corporate presence and proactive urban-tenant associations menas a lot of private security as well, including plenty of Knight Errant personnel. Lone Star and Knight Errant constantly try to outdo each other, which makes running in Bellevue tough. As always, I suggest you work smart. Make sure you pull your run in a way that doesn't panic the people. Places like this aren't fnd of the shadowy side of the street, and if you scare the population, you might as well kiss your hoop goodbye - security will be down on you like you wouldn't believe.
The place most friendly to our line of work in Bellevue is the Gates Casino. It's backed by the Seattle Mafia and used to launder money, so I suggest you don't cause any trouble; the Mob wouldn't like it. The casino is a good place to meet and talk biz in the area, and an even better place to spend your hard-earned nuyen on a little fun, both clean and not-so-clean. There are a large number of corporate facilities in Bellevue, each of which is an attractive target. Keep in mind, though, that just because those facilities look prettier than most doesn't mean they aren't deadly. They are still extraterritorial and all about keeping you out, whatever it takes. A good example is Mitsuhama's Cavilard Research Center. The wooded lot and carefully trimmed lawn looks great, but they hide an arsenal of lethal defense systems. Walk in there cocky and arrogant, and you'll be tossed out in a body bag - provided they don't keep your body for research.
.: Places of Interest
The Gates Casino is the best spot for fun and biz in Bellevue. The blending of homes and businesses makes it easy to think these tech companies can't hurt you, and that will get you killed. Stay off the streets and in the dark of night if you don't want to encounter a go-gang.
.: Gangs
The major gangs in Bellevue are all go-gangs, mostly human and composed of bored rich kids. The 405 Hellhounds claim Route 405 as their territory, and specialize in moving things from one end of Bellevue to the other. Their colours are red and orange, and their bikes usually have flame designs on them. The gang leader keeps two hellhouds as pets. The Nova Rich are the area's biggest thrill gang. If you can't make the right fashion statement, they hate you. They tend to wander south of I-90, looking for "low-life scum" to beat on.
The Lake Acid go-gang controls most of Route 520, and rumour has it they are backed by the Yakuza. The gang has an ongoing feud with the Phantom Lake Seoulpa Ring, and often interferes with their smuggling. Lake Acid colours are tie-dye blue and green. The Leather Devils is a go-gang that claims most of I-90, and they often clash with the 405 Hellhounds where 90 and 405 intersect. The Devils do a lot of work for the Mafia, and their leader claims to be a mage. According to some it's all just glowing cybereyes, and stage magic, though.
