In The Last of Us II, the Seattle Waterfront Aquarium is a temporary base for Abby Anderson and her militia group, , according to The Last of Us Wiki,

Kaitlyn Dever’s Abby Anderson.

Principal photography on season two of The Last of Us wrapped last August in Vancouver but there were second unit reshoots in September.

What is The Last of Us?

Season one of The Last of Us took place 20 years after modern civilization had been destroyed by a fungal pandemic. Joel (Pedro Pascal), a hardened survivor, was hired to smuggle teen Ellie (Bella Ramsey) out of an oppressive quarantine zone. What started as a small job soon became a brutal, heartbreaking journey as they both traversed across the U.S. and depended on each other for survival.

We left Joel and Ellie in the season one finale overlooking Jackson, Wyoming, after Joel’s big lie about the events at the Fireflies hospital: Joel rescued an anesthetized Ellie after murdering the doctors who were about to harvest her cells as a possible cure for the Cordyceps infection in a procedure she would not have survived.

Jackson, Wyoming, is a walled community of survivors from the fungal pandemic led by Joel’s brother Tommy Miller (Gabriel Luna) and sister-in-law Maria (Rutina Wesley).

What’s coming in season 2?

After five years of peace following the events of the first season, Joel (Pedro Pascal) and Ellie (Bella Ramsey)’s collective past catches up to them, drawing them into conflict with each other and a world even more dangerous and unpredictable than the one they left behind.

We meet some new characters In Jackson like Ellie’s new friend Dina (Isabela Merced).

And young scout Jesse (Young Mazino).

We also meet a group of former Fireflies who join Isaac (Jeffrey Wright)’s Washington Liberation Front (WLF) in Seattle: soldier Abby Anderson (Kaitlyn Dever), who’s seeking vengeance for someone she loved; soldier Manny (Danny Ramirez), doctor Mel (Ariela Barer), military medic Nora (Tati Gabrielle) and Owen (Spencer Lord). 

Ellie and Dina later travel from Jackson to Seattle on a horse named Shimmer.

Production moved from Alberta to British Columbia for season 2 and built a walled Jackson town set on private land at Britannia Beach on the Sea to Sky Highway.
