The Last of Us 2 Downtown Seattle Map: All locations
The Last Of Us 2 Downtown Seattle map
As you explore the Seattle Day 1 Downtown location in The Last of Us 2 you'll slowly add markers to the map, as you look at things or pass points of interest. Even finding and reading notes and letters will mark off things to check out. Even so, it's easy to miss some of the obscure locations – and with them, key collectibles and resources. The Last of Us 2 Downtown Seattle map above shows everything there is to find, so you know what you're looking for and where.
The Last of Us 2 Downtown Seattle map breakdown
In total, there are 14 key points of interest in the Downtown Seattle map in The Last of Us 2. Two of these are essential to advance the story and get you a little closer to The Last of Us 2 ending, but otherwise the rest will add context or help you find some vital items. Below I'll go through each location in detail, so refer to full map above for guidance.
1. Truck in the water
Almost as soon as you enter the open Seattle area you can head right to find a truck in some water near grey concrete and waterfalls. It'll have ‘Fascists’ written on the side and if you open up the back you’ll find it full of dead FEDRA officers and some scrap. There’s also a letter with some details about what happened.
2. The Court House
The courthouse is a location you need to search for gas as part of the story. However, to get inside you'll need to find this truck near a military checkpoint. Climb up and you can force a window to get inside. It’s full of Clickers and Runners so not the safest place, and you'll need to clear them all out before you can reach the lower floors by pushing open a blocked double door. Below you’ll find a locked yellow door to an office next to the lifts you can enter by smashing the windows.
Inside you’ll find one of The Last of Us 2 training manual locations which will unlock Ellie's Crafting Upgrade Branch. There’s also a lockbox you can open, using one of the The Last of Us 2 safe codes from the whiteboard nearby, containing supplements and scrap. Once you’ve picked up all the resources head down the elevator shaft where you’ll encounter some more Clickers and Runners. When they're dead you can check for gas before leaving via a shutter door operated by a chain.
3. Stairway supply Stash
When you leave the Court House, take a left and look for this set of stairs, above. On the level above that you’ll find a small supply stash and a letter that will add other stashes to the Downtown Seattle map, making it a useful thing to find.
4. Ruins supply stash
You'll find a broken corner of a building at this map location, and some useful stuff despite appearances. Heading here will likely trigger Dina to point out a ‘dome like’ building if she hasn’t already, which will get marked on your map for later. Ignore that for now if it happens and instead head up the stairs and smash the window so you can use the ledge to jump over and reach the other set of stairs. At the top you’ll find some supplements, scrap, and one of the The Last of Us 2 trading cards for a ‘Doctor Uckman’.
5. Truck supply stash
There are some trucks here on the Downtown Seattle map, and a fire truck you can see on the next bridge. If you climb up the truck nearest the fire truck you’ll be able to jump over. At the truck you'll find an axe (one of the many The Last of Us 2 weapons strewn around the world), a health kit, as well as a fire hose you can use to drop down and swing to another truck on it's side you can’t reach from the ground. Inside you'll find scrap and supplements.
6. Westlake Bank
Dina should point out the bank when you approach. You'll need to use the opening at the base of the ruin to get in – it's almost directly under the sign. Head through the passage and you’ll eventually end up in the bank. It's full of Clickers and Runners you’ll have to fight before you can do anything else, but once it’s safe you’ll be able to explore a vault you can find in the area behind the counters.
As you go in you’ll find a letter explaining a bank robbery plan with the code for the vault. Use it to open the door and you’ll find a pump action shotgun inside. You can also check the safety deposit boxes for a little The Last of Us 2 Easter egg. Just be careful when you leave, as there will be some more Clickers and Runners to deal with on your way out.
7. Tommy's Camp
There’s nothing useful to find here really, but if you look inside the fallen building with the flowers around it you’ll find a burned out campfire leaving Ellie and Dina to talk about how it must have been left behind by Tommy – a key bit of context as you head further on your adventure.
8. Tank supply stash
There's an old tank here on the map and inside you'll find some shotgun shells and trigger some dialogue with Dina. You’ll also find a skeleton nearby, half buried under some rubble, with a letter that can be collected.
9. Fuel Distribution / Synagogue
When you get here, look for a building surrounded by high barbed wire fences. You’ll know you’ve found Fuel Distribution because of the big red sign that says ‘Fuel Distribution’. The sign is by a gate and a watch tower, so head through and immediately turn right to climb the tower where you'll find a Stun Bomb and unlock that crafting recipe.
Drop back down and head around the left until you see a blue tarp covered gate in a leafy area. Head through that into an area full of tall grass and a couple of runners to deal with. When it's safe, look for a log pile that will let you climb into a new area, this time with clickers and runners. Once they're gone you'll be able to use the scaffolding to get into the building.
Inside there are resources to grab from the open shelves and the tables through the doors. You’ll then need to go through the gap in the fence on the closed off side, where you’ll be able to push a trolley to the far side and use it to get over the fence and at the gas.
Once that's done, you can use the trolley again to reach the platform leading up to the higher level where you’ll find a cable you can use to swing to other balcony and an exit. Head through the door to find the Rabbi's office and some supplements first though.
10. Army camp and workbench
To the right of this check point on the map you'll find some wide steps leading up to a gate you can squeeze through. Once inside, you'll find a tent containing some vital resources – resources which you can put to immediate use. Before you move on, be sure to activate this The Last of Us 2 workbench location to upgrade your weapons.
11. Music Shop
You'll need to use the checkpoint spanning the road you can access via the army camp at 10 to reach the music shop. Head over the walkway and you’ll be able to get inside through a first floor window. There's nothing big here in terms of resources or gear which will help you reduce how long to beat The Last of Us 2, but there's some crucial (and lovely) optional story moments to enjoy, and a collectible trading card.
12. Gate West 2
Squeeze through the gate here and you’ll find a few resources, as well as a safe you can open using the code for 'West 2' which you can find on the Checkpoint Gate Codes note: 0451 (a Deus Ex Easter egg). Inside you'll find scrap, supplement, a health pack and a collectible trading card.
13. Coffee shop supply stash
You'll find an old coffee shop here that appears locked but you can easily get in by breaking the window. Inside you'll find resources, scrap, a collectible trading card in a drawer behind the counter, and some supplements in the backroom. Take care though as the backroom will also lead through to a bathroom where a Runner will jump you. Once they're dealt with, check the baby changing station for a key to 'Barkos' which will mark that location on your map...
14. Barkos
You'll need the key from the coffee shop at map point 13 if you haven't got it already to get into Barkos. Follow the sign for deliveries and you’ll be able to use the key. Inside you'll find resources, supplements, scrap, and – most importantly – a long gun holster which will let you equip two long guns at once without swapping them out in your bag. If you miss this the first time, don't forget when you come back through on your Last of Us 2 new game plus run.
