==Trivia==
*Fairbanks itself is actually inspired by University Place, WA, where creator Gilbert Martinez lived from 2007 to 2017. In particular, Hog's Head Terrace and Fairbanks Village were inspired by the real life city.
**Eastridge Apartments is a play on Westridge Apartments, where he actually lived. This corresponds to Grissom's residence, and Grissom is heavily based on Gilbert.
**Rickshaw Condos is a play on Carriage Houses, where his best friend used to live. This corresponds to Rocky's residence, and Rocky is Grissom's best friend.
**The whole of Fairbanks Village is based on Windmill Village. As such, Steadyhome Park is based on Homestead Park. The name of the park is actually derived from a song he composed in 2013. Also, the Village Mini-Mall is based on a complex that includes a library, Whole Foods, and Jersey Mike's.
*Hog's Head Avenue (and, subsequently, Hog's Head Terrace) is actually the name of a street Gilbert once saw in a dream.
*Seabirch is a loose play on Lakewood, despite it being close to Frederickson.
*Harley Heights is named after Harley, a cat formerly owned by Gilbert's family. She was adopted in 2008 and ran away in 2013.
*Death Star Lane is named after a mascot familiar to Gilbert. It is also worth noting that Death Star is a horse, and Alan (also a horse) lives there.
*Royal Cinema is a play on Regal Cinema, an American movie theater company.
