The Diaz Household is the home of Esteban Diaz and his sons Sean Diaz and Daniel Diaz in Life is Strange 2. It is located in 1452 Lewis Avenue SW in Seattle, Washington, and is an explorable location in Episode 1 and Episode 3.
Appearance[]
The household's main floor consists of an open plan kitchen-living room; a study; a bathroom; and Esteban, Sean, and Daniel's bedrooms. A staircase leads from the living room into the lower floor, which consists of a garage (utilized mostly by Esteban for his auto repair work) and a storage room.
Episode One - "Roads"[]
Upon arriving at the Diaz household, Sean and Lyla Park sit down on the front deck overlooking the yard. The two discuss their plans for the party and create a list of items for Sean to gather, which Lyla scribbles down in marker onto Sean's palm. After Lyla briefly wonders aloud about how long their friendship will last after high school ends, she leaves Sean with a hug and a promise to Skype together after he's ready to go.
Once inside the house, Sean finds Esteban and Daniel playfully arguing over who should get the last Chock-O-Crisp bar. Esteban decides to let Sean be the judge, and he can choose to either give the chocolate to one of them or keep it for himself. After Sean's decision, Esteban heads down to his garage and Daniel goes back to his room to work on his Halloween costume, leaving Sean to search for his party supplies.
After retrieving drinks from the fridge, food from the cupboards, and a blanket from the storage room, Sean enters the garage to find his father fixing up a car for Sean's graduation. After Sean searches for (and optionally finds) a specific wrench for him, Esteban gets up and talks to Sean about the latter's plans for the future and intentions in going to the party. After returning upstairs, Sean has the option of knocking on Daniel's door and having a short conversation, with Daniel's behavior changing depending on who the Chock-O-Crisp was given to.
After retrieving everything on his list and packing his bag, Sean goes to his room and initiates a Skype call with Lyla. During their conversation, Daniel bursts into the room and is subsequently kicked out. Later, Sean notices Brett Foster grabbing Daniel's arm from his bedroom window and rushes out of the room to intervene. Sean finds Brett bullying Daniel after the latter had accidentally spilled his fake blood on him, and the situation escalates as Brett insults their family, causing Sean to snap and attack him. During the fight, Sean knocks Brett backwards onto a protruding rock that hits his spine, causing him to spasm and seemingly become unable to move.
Soon afterwards, Officer Matthews arrives on the scene and threatens the brothers with his gun after seeing Brett's state. As Matthews checks Brett's pulse, Esteban emerges from the house after hearing their voices and tries to cautiously reason with him. As Esteban attempts to get closer to his sons and Matthews becomes increasingly more anxious, he accidentally pulls the trigger, shooting and killing Esteban. Daniel screams, and a shock wave sends Matthews flying back before Sean's vision goes black.
After Sean comes to, he slowly takes in the heavy damage dealt to the surrounding neighborhood, Matthews sprawled onto the road, Brett still lying unmoving, and Esteban lying dead on the ground. Sean panics before picking up an unconscious Daniel and carrying him to their house. After setting him down for a moment to retrieve his backpack, Sean flees with Daniel in his arms as more police officers arrive on the scene.
Episode Three - "Wastelands"[]
The house appears in a flashback that takes place three months before the story. After Daniel steals Sean's watch, Sean finds him in Esteban's room and starts teasing him. Esteban stops the fight and Daniel heads to his room. Esteban has a heartfelt conversation with Sean and convinces him to reconcile with Daniel. Sean goes into Daniel's room and chats with him. Daniel then explains why he took the watch. After their conversation, the flashback ends.

- Like Esteban, the real-life Lewis died from gunshot wounds under mysterious circumstances.
- In an interview with Eurogamer, Michel Koch revealed that they chose to have planes flying over Lewis Avenue because houses near airports tend to be less expensive due to the noise pollution[1], reflecting the Diaz family's middle-class status.[2]
- In Episode 3, Sean can open his nightstand to check on his bag of weed and mentally hope that his father doesn't find it. If the player checks Sean's text messages with Esteban during Episode 1, they will find that he did end up finding it on October 7, 2016.

BBC News - What's it like to live near an airport? (2 July 2015) - ↑ "What's interesting in this part is, the neighborhood they're living in - basically, I think it was three or four years ago, when I was on a trip to the United States, I went to Seattle and visited a lot of the neighborhoods next to Seattle, and in one of the neighborhoods quite next to the airport, I noticed that you have those planes every few minutes or so, so that's the kind of detail we used, knowing those houses are not that expensive, so it works for the kind of family in middle-class Sean and Esteban are living in."
