To the South is the jewel in the ring you can't wear

To the East was envisioned a mountain pair

To the North climb a tree to work your own way

To the West are buildings that don't see the light of day

I create dearly beloved untruths

Hint 1

Untruth that I make is real and nice. Why call it untruth? Because it's a lie!

Hint 2

I'm closer to North than South or East. You'll want to stop by if you yearn for a feast.

Hint 3

There are memes, there are things that inspired memes, and there are things that inspired the things that inspired memes.

  • $\begingroup$ Just saw this was never solved. Can we get a new clue? Hint #1 makes me think of maybe a r13(jrqqvat puncry) but that may just be me being cynical :) $\endgroup$

Others have already found the locations north, south, east and west. The place we are looking for is

the Regent Bakery and Cafe in Seattle

because

to quote from the page linked above, "our black forest cake became an illustration in the video game Portal as a "reward cake" due to a local game developers' fondness for the cake". The cake is a dearly beloved untruth because "the cake is a lie".

Partial:

South:

I'm thinking it has to do with Petrified wood (rings in the wood), which is the jewel of the state of Washington. Thinking Mt Saint Helens as it's part of the ring of fire.

East:

Snoqualmie, WA. Where Twin Peaks was filmed.

North

Is this referring to the Microsoft Treehouse? These offices are where employees can work

West

The Seattle Underground. These buildings were built on top of due to the fire in 1889. They will never see the light of day again.

What Am I?

Working on..hmmm
