Snohomish is one of Seattle's districts.

Snohomish has large tracts of mountains, hills and woodlands, along with developed land controlled by agribusiness. It is a far cry from the steel towers and plastcrete canyons of the rest of Seattle.

The District of Snohomish is bounded on the northeast by the lands of theSalish-Shidhe, on the southeast by the District of Redmond, on the south by the northwest by the District of Everett. The Snohomish River and its tributaries meander through flat fertile lands in the eastern half of the district. Away from the river valleys, rolling hills dominate this peaceful district.

Snohomish is one of the most sparsely populated Districts. Seventy percent of the residents work outside of Snohomish, which makes commuter traffic quite heavy along every highway going in and out of the district.

Culturally, the district has German and Scandinavian heritage.

Crime

<<The Yakuza and the Mafia have virtually no presence in this district.>>

>>>>>[For the most part, gangs aren’t a significant presence in Snohomish. The few gangs in the district are mostly metahumans who’ve banded together to terrorize the local inhabitants and provide mutual protection against local anti-metahuman sentiment. The rest are gangs of human toughs looking to bust metahuman skulls and protect their homes from “sub-human scum.” Both sides operate like old-time vigilantes.]<<<<<
