This is a great site with a lot of info. I was not aware of the letter from Mayor Nickles to Ross Hunter or the meetings that have gone on to look at this arena process moving forward. I will visit here more often as I like the info I get. Keep up the good work.

thanks, it was a struggle to get the info.
I found the Qwest presentation that had the path back to the state site with the meetings and documents on it.
I found the UW blog the day the put out their presentation.
The closest thing we have to a Key Arena proposal right now is the Nickels letter. They have been on message, that message, for months. If you ready any quotes over the past couple months you see the same stuff in the letter. Pretty impressive message disipline.
I will keep this blog going until the city, or whoever, puts up something official, or after the funding is approved..
The focus shifts in a big way from the state to Ballmer and the NBA.
From the trash pile and front page of the Times here's columnist and Storm fan Nicole Broduer......

I responded there.
They do not have a need, they have a want.
"Pre-planning" is thinking about thinking about doing something.

Damn link cutoff!
Eh, you'll find it.
Dick, the last 2 paragraphs of Eric D. Williams' story should be of interest to people.
Read it carefully, it says there is a lobbying group and Brian is part of it.
There isn't a Sonics to Save anymore, and it looks like Brian is taking things into his own hands in a formal way.
