Rumblings in Seattle

By their nature, sports attract people who like things that are visceral, quick and exciting. So things always feel weird when those same fans are asked to follow the slowly bouncing ball of public/private construction finance. So, what is happening in Seattle? Kevin Pelton of Basketball Prospectus (who: disclaimer, has worked for the Sonics) helps to explain: On an otherwise dreary February day, Seattle's NBA fans were extended an overdue ray of hope Thursday, when Mayor Mike McGinn and King County Executive Dow Constantine held a joint press conference to announce their receipt of a proposal from a group led by hedge-fund manager Chris Hansen to build a basketball and hockey arena in the Sodo area.
