Aurora High School is an older public high school in urban Seattle. Established in 1947, the facility shows some signs of its age, but has generally been kept in fairly good repair. The three-story school building itself looks rather drab from the outside, painted in greys and browns, though inside, the walls are frequently adorned with murals. Aurora High is an odd school in terms of academics; while, for the most part, the program is solidly middle-of-the-road, the school offers Advanced Placement classes in nearly all of its subjects, making it attractive to those with a serious academic bent as well as those for whom it is simply the neighborhood school. The school also has a reasonable athletics program, and flourishing music and arts programs. The school has an open campus policy, meaning that students may come and go as they please while they are not in class. It is in close proximity to several inexpensive restaurants, as well as a mall, giving students plenty to do. The school mascot is the pelican, and its colors are grey, white, and pale blue.

Castle Family Fun Plex, usually shortened to Castle, has been a gathering spot and major employer of teens and young adults since it first opened its doors. Initially, the thirty acre complex was solely comprised of the trademark three-story, sand colored castle that houses the arcade and the miniature golf courses. Colorful stained glass windows, wrought iron fences, and fanciful landscaping have made the exterior welcoming rather than intimidating. Over the past twenty-five years, it has grown to include batting cages, a go-kart track, the Minotaur maze, and laser tag arena. On the weekends, the grounds are especially crowded, but few parents are concerned thanks to the legendary, no-nonsense security staff and their firm policy on ejecting troublemakers.

The Lone Pine Mall is a perfect example of unadulterated consumerism. While the architect might believe that its design is unique and representative of “Seattle’s spirit”, it could be any generic mall in any city across the United States. The mall is divided into three main sections: the practically identical West and East wings, and Center Court that houses the majority of the restaurants and the entrance to the movie theater.
