	Puyallup has a lot of gangs. Like Redmond, no inhabitable area of Puyallup goes unclaimed by some gang willing to defend their turf to the death. Puyallup’s fiercely territorial gangs are more spread out than those in Redmond, clustered around the few livable areas in the district. There’s a lot of conflict between metahuman gangs and human “neighborhood watches”, many of the latter little more than vigilante groups organized by Humanis.		Puyallup has a lot of gangs.

			Other activities include smuggling recreational drugs and sims.

They carry themselves like deposed royalty and fiercely defend their turf. They haven’t made many forays outside the elven neighborhood, but it’s only a matter of time before they come into conflict with another gang, most likely the Spikes.

			When it comes to live entertainment, this is where the action is. Deceptively located on the outskirts of the Puyallup Barrens, this converted warehouse is now a first-rate concert hall that plays host to the hottest acts in town. Outside, two marquee signs set the entrance aglow, while Newt, the Troll bouncer, carefully decides who may and may not enter. The interior is dominated by two giant vidscreens set behind a wide stage. During a concert, the frenzied energy from the stage and the dance floor has been known to rise up and literally shake the rafters.

	Hell’s Kitchen does see some visitors: shamans make their way out across the lava flats and ash dunes on vision quests and to commune with the nature spirits, while talismongers search for useful minerals and the bones of animals that died out on the plain or in one of the boiling mud pits. Some hardy dwarf miners make their way out with pick and shovel looking for valuable mineral veins. The rest are either tourists enjoying the stark beauty of the lava flows (often from a safe distance) or smugglers making their way across the desolation to or from the border, avoiding the automated monitoring stations and patrol drones.

	A number of orks fleeing the Night of Rage in central Seattle settled here about thirty years ago, taking up residence in some of the empty houses and company apartments, as well as taking over the abandoned mine complexes. Other squatters and refugees have also moved into Carbonado, as the residents have attempted to revive some of the mines, using what equipment they can scavenge and piece together.

	~~:⧁~~ Carbonado is riddled with old mining tunnels, and the orks have dug several new ones in various places. Along with semi-legitimate mining, the area’s other major activity is smuggling, using the tunnels to conceal and store contraband shipped across the borders. Some of the mineshafts are big enough to conceal entire panzer rigs and serve as temporary garages.		{{hacker\|Rigger X\|Carbonado is riddled with old mining tunnels, and the orks have dug several new ones in various places.

	~~::⧁ Rigger X~~		{{hacker\|Lyran\|The abandoned mine shafts and tunnels in Carbonado attract other residents, too. Various paranimals have moved in from time to time: from agropelters, birdmen, harpies, or devil rats to bandersnatch and piasma out of the tribal lands. There are also a lot of stories of will-o’-wisps leading people into the empty mines and then right into deadfalls or unstable areas. Sometimes the locals band together to clear out infested tunnels, others they leave well enough alone, or hire some help to take care of them.}}
