1910 the Princes herald makes an announcement on Elysium.
"On this night August the 17th Nineteen Hundred and Ten His Grace the Prince of Seattle has bestowed upon his Nosferatu Primogen Walter Eddington the Denny Regrade and all of its underground depths as a personal Domain."
1910 the following night a letter appears on Elysium addressed to all Kindred.
To the esteemed members of His Graces Court,
The Prince in his graciousness has granted me the Denny Regrade as a personal Domain. I would like to thank His Grace for his trust in me these past decades and his generous gift. Myself and Clan Nosferatu are as always at His Graces disposal should he ever be in need of our services.
If any other member of His Graces Court or other Kindred wish to do business in the Denny Regrade or wish to visit you may contact me and request Hospitality. I will be gracious with my Hospitality so long as my Domain is respected.
Know this however, I am a harsh master when it comes to trespasses within my Domain. Should I find a Kindred there without my Hospitality my actions will be swift and without mercy. I ask that you not be the example that is placed into torpor for a century for violating my Domain.
All members of Clan Nosferatu have Permanent Hospitality and are welcomed within my Domain.
His Grace the Prince of Seattle, and the Justicars of the Camarilla Domains all supersede my personal Domain. As such they may visit without my permission and my doors are always open to them in greeting. I do ask however that should I be gifted with such esteemed visitors they tell me ahead of time so security measures within my Domain do not inadvertently do them harm.

The Denny Regrade quickly becomes the most active black market in Seattle. All manner of rare and illicit goods can be found within its depths. Over time the police and politicians get word of the goings on in the underground. There are raids and sweeps but each time when the police arrive they find next to no illicit goods as if the black market is warned well ahead of time.
1929-1933
Prohibition is a booming time for the Denny Regrade. Multiple speakeasies are opened in the underground and the black market is flush with Alcohol. The local police continue to conduct sweeps like clockwork and continually find next to nothing.
1933-1940
With the end of prohibition the Denny Regrade enters a downward slump. The speakeasies close and the black market that was focused almost elusively on alcohol dwindles. The politicians of the city celebrate the black markets 'demise' and take credit for its ending.
1941-1945
The war brings renewed vigor to the black market. As war rationing become tighter and tighter all manner of goods can be found in the black market. It no longer just focuses on the darker aspects of vice. Instead common things like nylon pantyhose, rubber tires, and gas can be found in the Denny Regrade to avoid the rations.
