Like pretty much every hero in the DC and Marvel universes, Green Arrow has his own city to look after. Most of the time, that place would be Star City, but Oliver has been known to relocate from time to time as well.

Under Grell, Ollie relocated from Star City to Seattle, the so-called Emerald City, and actually stayed there for quite a while. In Benjamin Percy's current run on the character too, Queen has spent much of his time away from Star, with Seattle serving once again as a key location in the Arrow mythos.

It's a key part of the Arrow lore, and yet the character's geographic synonymy is reserved solely for his time spent in Star City. Given just how long the character left that place for however, it's time that his exploits in Seattle were given equal attention.
