A local landmark, the Fremont Troll (large cement sculpture of a troll clutching a real-life Volkswagen Beetle) was installed under the bridge's north end in 1990 in homage to the urban legends of a terrible troll King that resides under the bridge.

A publicly known vampire bar with a striking gothic theme, it's copied from the original Louisiana location - there is also a franchise located in New York City. It is accessible through the catacombs, which is also considered an emergency evacuation route, if needed. The most notable thing is perhaps its ceiling; all glass. Needless to say the bar doesn't open until sundown, and you definitely don't want to end up passing out on one of the couches until morning. Also, it's in a frickin' abandoned church, if that doesn't scream goth chic we don't know what does. Here you can order fresh human blood, as well as vampire blood (even though it's not on the menu.)

Police love to patrol the street the bar is on and periodically will stop by to make sure that no biting is being done on the premises and that everyone is registered. However, little do they know that there are private rooms in the back that you can rent by-the-hour for those who prefer their blood strictly from the source.

The blood bar is owned and run by the vampire Sheriff, who also uses the back rooms as his/her office area and to handle authority issues.

The Watchers Council, colloquially known simply as The Council and sometimes referred as the Watcher Council of Britain, are the governing institution of the Watchers and Slayers. The Council maintains operatives throughout the world in their fight against evil. They are descended from the Shadow Men, the creators of the First Slayer in prehistoric Africa. At some point the Watchers made Great Britain their centre of operations. Others offices were located in Munich, Switzerland, Rome, the United States, and Melbourne.

The Watchers' Council has been known to use ethically questionable methods to accomplish its goals. Such as, placing its principles and perceived goals ahead of the well-being of the Slayer. A test known as the Cruciamentum involves suppressing the Slayer's natural abilities with a drug and pitting her against a particularly dangerous vampire on the Slayer's eighteenth birthday.

An unofficial headquarters of both the Men of Letters and the Watchers Council, complete with two training rooms, is set up in the basement of the Seattle Public Library, however their US base is officially in Kansas and California respectively.

EMPLOYEES:
Parker Woodward, Silas Moretti
Located just outside of downtown, the church welcomes all religions and species. It acts as the Seattle base for the Ordo Templi Orientis - after all, wherever there is an Ordo facility, there's likely a Templar site nearby. The Church holds classes on teaching humans about the various supernatural species and how to defend oneself, much to the public's entertainment.
More disturbingly; with each mass they have a public "outing" of a being from the supernatural world and offer them a chance to confess their sins as a monster by admitting willingly. The majority of the public see it as a big show to get more followers but there is no doubt a small crowd of faithful radicals to the church.
The main Ordo Templi Orientis headquarters are actually in the Scottish Highlands, on the south-east side of Loch Ness - Boleskine House; Aleister Crowley's former residence.

Secretly, and unknown to the supernatural community except for the Watcher's Council and Men of Letters, but certainly rumored, the church is a front for the Knights Templar.
