Editing The Post-Apocalyptic Roadmap/Washington (section)

==Surrounding Area==
Outside Seattle, the Pacific Northwest rainforests absorb a lot of the radioactivity carried on the fallout-laden winds, and will eventually flush it out via the watersheds.  Not, of course, before it kills many species slowly over the course of months and years through slow radiation poisoning. The backwoods rednecks who lived there still do, except they now actually farm stuff. Aside from the ones who decided Mad Max was the best movie ever, and used their pickups as tacticals before eventually running out of fuel and starving to death (or being eaten by radioactive bears).

At least one of the Cascade mountains goes off. Probably St. Helens again.

Redmond quickly becomes a technotopia ruled mostly by Microsoft, who's campus quickly expands to encompass practically the entire city.
