There are areas in Seattle that should have permanent background counts...the Barrens and A.C.H.E for example. Is there anywhere listing the 'official' background count for the varios areas of Seattle.

Not for the 5e values as far as I know.
I do know that the 3e magic book laid out a few areas.... but not in any real detail....

besides, it would be very hard to nail down, as even in areas like the barrens, the BC would change from block to block. Remember, there are small enclaves of rather civilized people who have banded together to improve the life of all in their communities even in the 'Barrens' parts, while other areas are just basically giant kill zones.... be it by critter, toxins, gangers, or purple people eaters....

For example, the area around (but not directly in) the ACHE might be a relatively low 0 to 1... but inside it could spike to 3 for the upper floors.... and a then spike even higher for the old mass commercial zone of the ACHE (where most people died).
Where am I going? And why am I in a hand basket ???

Remember: You can't fix Stupid. But you can beat on it with a 2x4 until it smartens up! Or dies.

Generally speaking I use counts of 0 to 3 for our runs with 3 only happening infrequently and 0 and 1 most often.

mind you the team hasn't gone into the Chi-town or Boston megaplexes which could even higher in certain areas.
