Here are some sample results:
The Evergreen Kingdom Arena is a joint venture between Disney and UB, where everyone can be a brawler. Some of the combat scenarios are rumoured to be rather dangerous, and it's said that the Arena occasionally has to cover up serious injuries if not death, as well as dealing with those who would fix the events.
The Eye of the Needle atop the Space Needle is still one of the most elegant restaurants in Seattle with top-notch security. It's rumoured that no-one is actually sure who owns the restaurant these days, and that attempts to trace its ownership hit dead ends or disappear into a maze of holding companies.
The First Nations have a home base on Council Island and are, despite restrictions, able to come and go as they please thanks to connections with the authorities as long as they don't bring or cause trouble on the island. It's rumoured that elements of the Seattle government are looking to hire runners to make it seem as if the First Nations have done just that, so that they lose their privileges.
The Grand Council Lodge on Council Island has an AR setup that displays local history and culture and is a favourite target of hackers seeking to portray more realistic and gory versions of history. It's also said that more than a few hackers have been specifically targeting those displays that portray various historical events in a particularly rose-tinted way.
The Growp'skitch! sasquatch tribe live on Council Island and, unlike in the UCAS, are not classed as animals and, indeed, are far more intelligent than most tourists realise. It's known that the tribe has been funnelling money into metahuman rights organisations; it's also rumoured that they have been hiring money managers to invest for them.
