Seacouver

Seacouver, Washington is a fictional city in the Highlander universe. The city of Seacouver appears in the first 5 seasons of the series, and is best known as the home of Duncan MacLeod and several other Immortals, as well as many Watchers. It's a term for the city in Highlander: The Series that is set in Seattle but filmed in Vancouver, but it became the official city for the show.

Duncan's place of residence was first identified as Seacouver in the pilot episode of the series, in which he owned an antique and sculptures gallery. He sold the place after Tessa Noël's death and moved back and forth to Paris, France, living in a barge located in Seine river and a martial arts dojo located in Seacouver, which he stayed at an apartment loft above it.

Seacouver is known to be architecturally modeled after Seattle, Washington and Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada. The name is an example of a portmanteau word.

The term Seacouver is sometimes used in a more generic sense when discussing other series or movies set in the United States but filmed in Canada. A comic book intercompany crossover or fan fiction involving normally distinct settings might merge them into a Seacouver-like city so that characters can more easily interact.
