A Fallout game set in Seattle?

I was thinking of iconic places to set the next Fallout game, and Seattle popped into my mind, if I remember correctly the cancelled Fallout:Online game was set in Seattle and they did some cool concepts for it.

My question is, as an Englishman, is Seattle an interesting setting? or would it just be a generic city with a space needle in it?
 
I wouldn't bet on West Coast if the game is developed by Bethesda...I guess we'll see the Commonwealth which is in Massachusetts.
 
I know the next Bethesda game will be set on the East Coast, but I'm more interested in whether Seattle would be a good setting.
 
Sure, Seattle is a nice town.
Although, New Vegas already kinda did the Space Needle ;)
 
Pfft, the Lucky 38 BLOWS compared to the Needle. Ugly, in fact.

That being said: Seattle'd be great, given it's rich history of jazz (and other, more recent music), eternal rain, military importance (anti-submarine stations, stop on the way up to Anchorage, etc,) nuclear history, and the technological presence... yeah, it'd be an EXCELLENT location.

I won't deny, I'm a Washingtonian... and I have been thinking this up for the past few weeks.
 
I wouldn't hate it, but I wouldn't hate any place that hasn't been done. It'd be cool to actually get some precipitation if it was there, radioactive or not.
 
FO4 Location

I sincerely hope it will be on the West Coast, within/around the Core Region.

Seattle would be nice, but I was thinking more of Arizona or New Mexico (...) perhaps Texas or Oklahoma.

If it's on the East Coast, I'd want it to be in Miami.
 
What I really want to see is developers taking advantage of the area they use as a setting. Obsidian for example really made new vegas a unique place that hasn't been seen in any fallout game yet. But Washington D.C. didn't have anything going for it other than some landmarks. So if you take those out you'd be able to rename the town to anything really.

Agreed. I wish Bethesda had made FO3 more original. Taking the plots from the first two games and adding Liam Neeson to the equation really just felt trite.
 
Seattle/Washington State has jungles, right?
As a fellow jungle-dweller from a similarly rainy place, I approve of this idea. Enough desert already, I say.

Extra bonus if we get to see New Arroyo (and perhaps a splinter Vault City from NCR?) as a big faction in the plot. Annexed by the NCR my foot, there's no proof of that!

That said, we will probably see Boston done next.
