Founded in 1850, Caribou Coast is a medium-sized coastal town on the western end of Initiative Island. The island itself is located just a ferry ride away from Seattle, Washington, with most of the mainland accessible in about two hours. In addition to its large ocean view, Caribou Coast boasts beaches, a large nature reserve and even a small mountain range on the eastern side of Initiative Island.
The town of Caribou Coast is divided into various districts, each with their own businesses and residences alike.

Mercer Court!beach
Every town has a place that is known to be the center of culture and Mercer Court is Caribou's. Whereas Downtown holds the big names, Mercer Court is where the smaller, home-grown businesses really shine. From restaurants to bookstores, if you ever want to just have a chill day and see what Caribou Coast is really about, swing by the Court.

The home of the Caribou Nature Park & Preserve. The park is a large, government-funded reserve open in certain places to the public. Other areas are expressly forbidden, marked as a sanctuary to the native creatures of the island. There's plenty to do in the public space, with amenities ranging from campgrounds to a stable for horse rentals. Have a question? Feel free to ask any park ranger, like Ranger Cyn! They'll be happy to help.
Creek & Cabin!creek & !cabin
Cabin belongs to Will Hadote, hidden away off the beaten path of the woods, and there's a creek off nearby, where regular bonfires are held. Careful to tread out here without a little protection, this is where the witches don't have your back in regards to supernatural trouble. Shifter protected.Goliath Pier!docks
Sun and surf, is there really anything else to say? Goliath Pier is where most of Caribou Coast spends their summer and hosts quite the number of events. After the sun sets, there's a pretty nice nightlife scene for those looking to unwind after a day splashing in the waves.
Points of Interest:
The Kraken - Venue & Bar
The Lipstick Lounge - Chelsee's Burlesque Bar
Cosmic Cleff - Instruments & Studio
Aquarius - Cici Montellu, Art Dealer & Figure Model
Docks & Oceanfront
Adjacent to Goliath Pier are the docks and the oceanfront. The oceanfront is known to draw artists from all over, offering an excellent view of both the Pacific Ocean and Mt. Fortitude if one turns to face the town. Ferries launch from the docks here, taking its passengers not only to mainland Washington but also other small islands that make excellent vacation spots for those looking for a quick getaway.
Points of Interest:

The Chop Shop - Travis's Butchery & Fish Market
Lily's Baked Goods & Souvenirs

Mountain Side!winery
In the shadow of the Alces Mountain Range lies a few establishments far from the hustle and bustle of the main town. Accessible through Perception Place, the Mountain Side is viewed as a peaceful place all on its own. Need a break from wandering the wilderness? Cliffside Bed & Breakfast has its doors wide open.
Points of Interest:
Cliffside Bed & Breakfast - Ryland's Inn
Creature Cove - Umbrage Family Winery
Harper Honey Farm - Lucky Harper's Apiary
Warrens!warrens
The less than luxurious part of the island, it's where people go to spend as little money as possible. Don't stay here too long, unless you're looking for a terrible, trouble filled time. Guard your pockets and follow your gut when hiring company for the night.
Junkyard!junkyard
Just outside the warrens, there's a pick a part car scrap yard, storage and torn fences, plenty of places to hide a fight club or a alleyway gang clubhouse. Messy messy messy. -
