Manifold Motion's Miscellenea II Wraps Up Tonight
Around The -Ists This Week
The Seattle P-I confirmed what SonicsCentral reported yesterday: The Sonics' new owners were looking at possible arena sites in Bellevue yesterday--specifically the old Safeway distribution center east of 405, which has been mentioned before in connection with a new arena.
Bellevue developer Kemper Freeman, Jr., who the P-I describes as "Bellevue's biggest booster for moving the Sonics to the Eastside," says he spoke with Sonics President Wally Walker and the new owners, and says he believes them when they say they want to keep the team nearby.
We'll be convinced when they put their money where their mouths are. Still, for those fans still holding out hope, it's a good sign.
Danny Westneat weighs in with a smart column. He says the city didn't lose the Sonics, the Sonics lost the city. There's some truth in that.

The really good news is the Sonics crying for corporate welfare or they will leave town might just help stop the corporate welfare check that NASCAR Corp has been asking for so they can pilliage my beloved Kitsap County. I am actually stoked about this.

If they get the Sonics, maybe Bellevue can shake off that "suburb" label. That or they'll still be known as the Seattle Supersonics, proving that our shadow looms large in the Puget Sound.
Any way we can keep them in the Northwest is okay with me. Oklahoma? no way.
Pick up a bumper sticker if you feel that way too.
