Well, the monorail only runs from Northgate to the Seattle Center. Though 
there are plans to expand it. Also, Seattle does have an Underground, where 
after the great fire in 1890, they just built on top of the old houses 
rather than tear 'em down. I think you could see a great HOE version of it 
in the TV movie: The Night Stalker (The movie later turned into the tv 
series Kolchak:The Night Stalker.) But if you run a campaign in Seattle, 
please don't fall prey to the Frasier disease and assume all streets 
connect to Pike. Pike is only about a block and a half long, and is one 
way, besides.
Also, Seattle would be a great place to have a reiteration of the Hangin' 
Judges, because it already has a lot of ridiculous laws.
"Your walking your dog in a public park! $1000 fine! What, you didn't stop 
at that red light, despite the fact that one of the lights was pointing at 
an abandoned hillside with no road, and the opposite light was pointing at 
a side street that never gets used? BLAM! BLAM! BLAM!"

the Space Needle, and takes the Monorail from the SEATTLE CENTER to 
NORTHGATE, rather than the other way around." Pearson
