King's Bay is a typical Pacific Northwest town. Located a few hours from Seattle, the town sprung up around the body of water after which it is named. The waterfront remains the site of much activity, with restaurants and shops located along the docks that line the water's edge. Adjacent to the waterfront is the downtown area, where several important businesses have headquartered themselves. Beyond downtown are the residential areas where families like the Fishers live.
The locals are used to the Western Washington weather, which leans towards the rainy, particularly in the winter. Prime skiing in the passes of Central Washington and the gorgeous weather of the coastal beaches are just a few hours away in either direction.
