Squalnomie

Squalnomie is a city or location in Washington state in the United States. Squalnomie is mentioned in one conversation in the Free Clinic in Deus Ex. 
== Background ==
During the Northwest War, the Northwest Secessionist Forces attacked the positions of the federal army at Squalnomie using thermoptic camo and apparently won. It became a traumatic event for the veterans and more so for the top brass.ClinicMaleBum1: "Reminds me of Washington. I was there when the NSF overran Squalnomie, back when they were called the Northwest Secessionist Forces."ClinicMaleBum2: "Were you at Squalnomie?"ClinicMaleBum1: "Yeah. It was night, they came in with thermoptic camo and we never picked 'em up on any of the sensors. What a goddamned mess. Had a hard time sleeping after that. Didn't do real good on the psych evals either. Got drummed out in short order."ClinicMaleBum2: "The Army probably didn't want to have any reminders hanging around."ClinicMaleBum1: "Yeah, and now look what they got: NSF in downtown Manhattan. Same guys that nearly whupped us in the Northwest. Bet the brass remembers Squalnomie now." 
==Trivia==
*"Squalnomie" is a reference to the real-world city of Snoqualmie, Washington, located approximately 30 miles east of Seattle, located along the Snoqualmie Pass. Only the fictional name "Squalnomie," and not the name of the real-world location, appears in the game.
*The "Squal" portion of the name may have been a intended as a joke about the Seattle region's reputation for unending rain.
