Sahalee (Napoleon's World)

Sahalee (pronounced: Saha-li) is the largest city in the US state of Pacifica and is one of the four cities generally associated with the Quad Cities metropolitan area in southwestern Pacifica. The city is a major trade hub as part of the greater metropolitan area, spanning both the northern and southern banks of the Fraser River, thus placing the city in both Nansett County on the south side of the river and in Miller County on the north side.

The city is part of the I-5 corridor, being located just south of the freeway's terminus in Burrard, and also sits upon I-35, which has its terminus nearby in Fraser. Local freeway SR-340 runs through the downtown part of the city, which is linked to the southern bank by the Memorial Bridge. Sahalee is bordered to the south and east by the suburbs of Century, Sumner and Portsmouth, to the west by the city of Wamash, to the north by the cities of Fraser and Kirktown, and to the northeast by the suburb of Coquitlam.

The city proper has, as of estimates for 2010, a population of about 376,000, and is part of a greater metropolitan area with roughly 2 million inhabitants. Sahalee was high on the affluence indexes for many major cities of its size, although within its own state, it is low compared to affluent suburbs such as Sumner, Coquitlam, and Burrard.

Sahalee Public School District
The Sahalee Public School District serves the city of Sahalee proper as well as a handful of neighborhoods on the borders of Kirktown and Fraser. The city maintains 46 elementary schools, 3 K-8 schools, 8 middle schools and eleven high schools, as well as two "alternative" 6-12 campuses. The district serves about 34,500 students.

Glenmore High School of the Portsmouth School District also serves a few neighborhoods of South Sahalee, and Oakland High School of the Meridian-Century School District is located just within Sahalee city limits, but serves primarily students directly around the school and from Century.

Colleges and Universities
Sahalee is home to four institutions of higher education: the University of Pacifica's main campus in South Sahalee, the two campuses of Sahalee Community College (North and South), as well as the private Jesuit school of Sahalee University, located north of Downtown, and the small liberal arts college, Fraser River College, located near the city limits with Kirktown.

Sports
Being as that Sahalee is the center of the Quad-Cities Metro Area, it is also home to two of the region's four major sports teams. In 1978, the WFA added an expansion football franchise, the Sahalee Storm, that initially played at Royal Way Stadium but moved to the Stormdome in Downtown in 1985. The city also built Index Arena, a multipurpose center in South Sahalee, in 1982, ushering in the NBA expansion franchise Pacifica Grizzlies and the NHL relocated the financially failing Winnipeg Blue Bombers to the Index Arena as the Sahalee Sockeyes. In 1999, the Sockeyes built their own arena in downtown Kirktown, but kept the name due to the franchise remaining in the same region and the negative response to the change to Pacifica Sockeyes. The Pacifica Beavers, the Quad-Cities baseball team, has always played at Wamash Metropolitan Stadium on Sea Island since their inception in 1974.
