Excerpts from an editorial from the Seattle Times in advance of Monday’s City Council vote:
If Seattle wants an NBA team back as soon as possible, the last thing it should do is transfer a street to developer Chris Hansen under terms proposed by Mayor Ed Murray and the City Council.
Doing so is likely to keep Seattle sports fans in limbo for years to come and scare off other investors, who might have a better chance of securing a team than Hansen.
At this point, the only sure thing is that maritime interests will sue the city because a Sodo arena would severely affect traffic, industry and Port operations.
Council members must know this stinks.
