Seattle Arena A Done Deal After Local Bodies Approve Agreement

Seattle Mayor Mike McGinn and King County Exec Dow Constantine today plan to sign an agreement for investor Chris Hansen to build a $490M downtown arena with $200M in public funds. The ceremony will take place at the Rainier Vista Boys & Girls Club in South Seattle. This comes after the Metropolitan King County Council voted unanimously to "move forward with a Memorandum of Understanding" for the arena, and the Seattle City Council approved the amended deal 7-2 (SEATTLE TIMES, 10/16).
