While going over part of the introductory SR5 adventure "Splintered State", I noticed that the first location mentioned gave a street address: the Banshee bar in the Barrens, with an address of 1267 163rd Ave. NE.
Out of curiosity, and possibly to include a screen-grab from Google Earth, I looked it up, to no avail. It put me somewhere south of Mountlake Terrace, on 163rd Street (near Kellogg Middle School). After a bit of poking around, I figured out that it had the street completely wrong, and eventually figured out where the address should have been pointing: eastern Bellevue, near Lake Sammamish.
'Course, the street address doesn't actually exist at all. The closest I could get is just south (it actually turns away at 12th and 163rd), right in the middle of a very large posh-looking apartment complex.
Granted, this is the Barrens in about forty years. There's nothing saying the whole place got razed to make the nearby shopping mall bigger.
What I wouldn't give for a zoomable map of 2050-75 Seattle.

There is a thread on here somewhere about mapping Seattle. I forget where, but I do remember that Namikaze is involved, so you could look at his posts to find it.

One of my favorite resources is found at www.chinagreenelvis.com. Additionally I'm working on creating a wiki of every location, NPC, and organization in Seattle.
