History

In 2010, Oliver Queen boarded a ship bound for Coast City from Hong Kong. For some time, Oliver remained in the city and began a brief stint as a vigilante, chasing around petty criminals before he was again tracked down by Amanda Waller. After drinks at a bar, Amanda drugged Oliver and forcibly returned him to Lian Yu as part of an A.R.G.U.S. mission.

McKenna Hall currently lives in Coast City with her sister, having relocated there from Star City in March 2013 to attend physical therapy after being shot by Helena Bertinelli, which shattered her femur and caused temporary paralysis.

Barry Allen once used his super speed to buy some carry-out pizza for his friends from Coast City Pizza, mentioning that it is known as "the best in the west".

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

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

Joanie began studying at Coast City University in fall 2017.

On March 28, 2018, Izzy Bowin was to perform in Coast City during her tour.

Behind the scenes

• In the DC comics, Coast City is the home of Hal Jordan, better known as the superhero Green Lantern, who in the DC comic books is also one of Oliver and Barry's closest superhero friends.
  • In the fourth season Arrow episode "Green Arrow", a pilot named "Jordan" is briefly seen when Oliver Queen and Amanda Waller are at a bar in the flashbacks. Additionally in the first season The Flash episode "Rogue Air", Barry Allen mentions the Ferris Air Testing Facility was shut down because one of the test pilots vanished, hinting towards a possible appearance of Hal Jordan in the show. 
  • In a flashback from "Green Arrow", Coast City's slogan "In Brightest Day, In Blackest Night; Come to Coast City, When the money is tight" is similar to Green Lantern's oath.
