History[]

In 2010, Oliver Queen boarded a ship bound for Coast City from Hong Kong.^[3] He remained in Coast City for five months and began a brief stint as a vigilante, chasing around petty criminals before being tracked down again by Amanda Waller. After drinks at a bar, Amanda drugged Oliver and forcibly returned him to Lian Yu for an A.R.G.U.S. mission.^[4]

McKenna Hall currently lives in Coast City with her sister, having relocated there from Starling City in March 2013 to attend physical therapy after being temporarily paralyzed on duty.^[1]

In early 2015, Coast City was attacked by a threat, requiring the combined forces of Green Arrow, The Flash, Black Canary, The Atom, and Vixen to save the city.^[6]

After an encounter with Zoom that nearly cost Linda Park her life, she temporarily relocated to Coast City in late 2015 to stay with friends, believing that doing so would provide relative safety and distance from her attackers.^[7]
