Seattle trying to drop Storm on investor
With the King County Council potentially taking a vote next Monday on a proposed new arena in Seattle, sticking points and possible concessions on traffic and the city’s lease agreement with the Seattle Storm are building with the City Council. Seattle city councilman Mike O’Brien said that officials continue to negotiate with investor Chris Hansen over changes to a proposed deal between the city and the private ownership group. Among the issues is the possibility of having Hansen’s ownership group take over the city’s current annual subsidy of the Seattle Storm, adding a wrinkle to the process. The city’s lease agreement with the Storm currently calls for a $300,000 payment each year as part of a revenue sharing agreement.
