  We synthesize the known information about Fast Radio Bursts and radio
magnetars, and describe an allowed origin near nuclei of external, but
non-cosmological, galaxies. This places them at $z\ll1$, within a few hundred
megaparsecs. In this scenario, the high DM is dominated by the environment of
the FRB, modelled on the known properties of the Milky Way Center, whose
innermost 100pc provides 1000 pc/cm$^3$. A radio loud magnetar is known to
exist in our galactic center, within $\sim$2 arc seconds of Sgr A*. Based on
the polarization, DM, and scattering properties of this known magnetar, we
extrapolate its properties to those of Crab-like giant pulses and SGR flares
and point out their consistency with observed Fast Radio Bursts. We conclude
galactic center magnetars could be the source of FRB's. This scenario is
readily testable with VLBI measurements as well as with flux count statistics
from large surveys such as CHIME or UTMOST.
