Raccoon City (DeCandido)

Raccoon City was a small city in the United States. Close to the city of San Francisco, it may have been in California.

History
The city was heavily used by the Umbrella Corporation, who constructed their bio-weapons development facility, "The Hive", beneath it. In September 2002 the T-virus was released in The Hive, soon spreading into Raccoon City itself. This prompted Umbrella to destroy the entire city to both contain the virus and prevent evidence of their guilt from being made public.
