Supervisor's Office Seattle C.S.I.'s Night Shift Supervisor, Abigail Carmichael.
A large mahogany desk, takes up most of the room. Off centre is a rather deep couch, with two less comfortable 'conversation chairs' flanking its sides.
Books cover one wall beside the desk, while opposite, filing cabinets with as many files on top of them, as inside, take up their share of the room.
Dimly lit, the lone desk lamp burns only when Abbie is at her desk. Step in for any guidance you may need. She may not be around at the moment, but she'll be sure to get back to you shortly.
Break Room Nothing too fancy. A coffee maker, a lone vending machine, and a couple of couches, looking like throwbacks from the 1970s. A large circular table sits in the middle of the room, a few mismatched chairs around it. Theres a television here too, though it looks to have been found at a garage sale. Perched ontop of the vending machine, its only purpose to keeping tabs on the latest Seattle news.
A good place to eat a quick lunch, or hash out theories pertaining to a case.
Locker Room A quick shower? A change of clothes? If its been a long shift, this might be one area of respite.

Bright large windows, allow the sunlight to pool over the small intimate tables.

Restoring the old building back to its once high polished marble, and gleaming wooden archways, Wetherspoon's takes pledge of a comfortable quiet drink, to heart. Offering the friendly relaxed atmosphere of its main room, or a more intimate quiet contemplative drink, in the cozy dining room off the main room.
So pull up a stool, meet your friends, or simply take a quiet moment to take the day off. Whatever your needs, Wetherspoon's is happy to provide it.
Morningstar Bakery and Diner A neighbourhood bakery, famous for its heavenly scents wafting down the block, almost as much as its warm fresh croissants, and loaves and loaves of flavourful savoury and sweet breads.
As with all family businesses, the dreams of the 'Founder' are rarely followed by their offspring. 'Junior' prefers the quest for the perfect burger, than the elusive secrets of slow rising yeast.
So Morningstar's added a diner. Serving up mouthwatering breakfasts, complimented by the bakery's breads and pastries.
An addition added to the original building. Typical diner booths line the large windows on three sides. Tables fill the spaces left over, allowing more seating for the popular business.
