King County, Georgia is the hometown of the TV series Rick Grimes and his family. The hospital where Rick stayed at while he was in a coma is located in this town, along with the police station, King County Sheriff's Department where he and his partner, Shane Walsh worked.
There is no King County in Georgia; it is fictitious. It is shown to be roughly in the same area of Georgia as Fayette and Coweta Counties, southwest of Atlanta near the Alabama state line.
Pre-Apocalypse
King County was a rural county in the state of Georgia and was policed by the King County Sheriff's Department. It was on the periphery of the Atlanta metropolitan area. The county was like any other county which had several farms and crops.
Season 1
During a routine day at work, deputy officers (and friends) Rick Grimes and Shane Walsh were on patrol when a call came in about a high speed pursuit involving the neighboring county police, the Linden County Sheriff's Department. Rick and Shane joined the pursuit along with fellow officers Lambert Kendal and Leon Basset. During the shootout, a criminal manages to injure Rick and he is taken to a hospital where after a period of time, Rick wakes up and finds himself in the world overrun by the undead.
Post-Apocalypse
Season 3
Rick returns to King County on a scavenging mission with Carl and Michonne. They come to realize that the police gun cell has been picked clean. Rick suggests to check out the nearby bars and liquor stores in the area to find guns. They notice the town has been heavily fortified with many warnings painted onto the walls. A man on top of one of the buildings in town tries to hold them at gun point asking them to surrender their weapons. Rick opens fire while Michonne runs around back to try and get the man. Carl shoots the would be assailant on the street. The man turns out to be Morgan. Morgan has lost his sanity and has accumulated a large collection of munitions. Rick tries to convince him to come with them but to no avail. Carl goes to get the last known picture of his mother Lori for Judith's sake. The group leaves, leaving Morgan behind as he burns corpses.
Locations
Harrison Memorial Hospital
Pre-Apocalypse
The hospital was where Patty Taylor worked. It is a relatively small hospital with only 4-5 floors, typical for rural Georgia county hospitals. Rick Grimes was comatose and under intensive care in the south wing recovery ward at the hospital. Shane made visits to his wounded friend, and gave flowers from his fellow colleagues. During Rick's hospital stay, the outbreak occurred and the hospital was left in ruins and overrun by zombies. Upon Shane's last visit to Rick's room, he hears shouts that erupted from the hallway as the military began evacuating some staff and patients, while others ran through the corridors. He decides to get a hospital bed to attempt to move Rick. Explosions rock the building; Rick's life support system powers down. Rick's vitals fade, leading Shane to believe that Rick is dead. He barricades the room with a stretcher and flees the hospital for Lori and Carl.
Post-Apocalypse
Some time later, Rick wakes up and walks around the battle scarred hospital, finding the power out, furniture overturned, papers everywhere, the decaying body of a woman on the ground, bullet holes, and some dried blood. As he travels through the empty halls, he finds the double doors to the hospital cafeteria, with the spray-painted words "DON'T OPEN DEAD INSIDE" above the door handles which have been barricaded with wood and chains. As he draws closer to the doors, a pair of hands burst through, with the sound of moans. Rick quickly leaves, making his way through a dark stairwell and outside, encountering dozens and dozens of rotting and flyblown human bodies covered in sheets. Horrified, Rick flees the hospital.
Rick's Neighborhood
Rick Grimes and family live in an upscale suburban-style subdivision on a street with many neighbors. As he returns to his neighborhood, he finds his house with the front door open and rushes inside. His family is not there. Instead, the house is empty and missing his photos, giving him a glimmer of hope. He stumbles out of the house, delirious, and finds a "man" stumbling by. Rick is struck in the head by a shovel and then shot at. He awakes tied to a bed while a man stands nearby. He finds himself in a neighbor's house, commandeered by Morgan Jones and his son, Duane. Rick spends the night recovering and finding out what has happened to the world from Morgan. The next morning, the trio make their way to the police station for supplies.
In "Clear", Morgan had fled the neighbor's house for a larger building. The map that Morgan has etched on the walls of the building he is staying in reveals that Rick's house had burned down in the time between Rick's departure for Atlanta and return to King County.
Taylor Residence
In The Walking Dead: Dead Reckoning, this was the home of Gary Taylor, his daughter Patty, and her new boyfriend Paul. Just before everything went chaotic due to the outbreak, Shane was seen responding to a domestic disturbance call at this home. When he arrives, he finds that Gary shot Paul because he attacked his daughter and he was protecting her. Shane chases Gary around the house until he is finally able to convince him to go to the King County Police Station.
Sheriff's Department
- For the full article, please see King County Sheriff's Department
Rick, along with fellow survivors Morgan and Duane Jones, use the police station for ammo, weapons and a hot shower. After stocking up, the trio plan to part ways, thanking each other for the generosity they've shared. Before leaving, they spot a zombified deputy, Leon Basset, banging on the chain link fence. Rick puts a bullet into his former colleague's head before driving off to Atlanta to search for his wife and son.
Park
The park was briefly mentioned in The Walking Dead Webisodes when the survivors were told to head to this park for evacuation to Atlanta by FEMA. In the TV Series, Morgan and Duane Jones were seen traveling back to their house while Rick is seen pulling up right alongside a park. He is seen walking through the park in search of the bicycle zombie he encountered earlier. He eventually finds her moaning on the sun dried grass where he pulls out his gun, apologies to her, and shoots her in the head to end her suffering and misery.
Unnamed Elementary School
Carl Grimes attended this school along with many other children. He used to wait for his mother Lori to come after school to walk him home. Days before the apocalypse, Lori is seen waiting outside the school to pick him up. She talks to her friend Paula about her situation with Rick and her family. Shane pulls up to the school, interrupts their conversation, and tells Lori that Rick has been critically injured.
King County Cafe
The cafe first appears in "Clear". Carl is on a mission to retrieve a family photo of himself, Rick, and Lori so that his newborn sister Judith would know what her mother looked like. Carl and Michonne use caged rats mounted on skateboards to distract the walkers as they sneak back to the kitchen area and the photo. The pair are spotted and have to fight their way out of the cafe empty handed. After some debate, Michonne steals back in to recover the photo for Carl, and picks up a "gorgeous" cat statue for herself. After the mission Carl tells Rick "she may be one of us".
