 OLYMPIA, Wash. (AP) - The Seattle SuperSonics have chosen suburban Renton as the site for a proposed new $500 million multipurpose arena. Now, they still face the hurdle of getting funding for the plan approved by the state Legislature.
Sonics owner Clay Bennett and King County Executive Ron Sims announced the choice Tuesday to state lawmakers.
"At this time the city of Renton is the most viable location for this new facility," Bennett said at a state senate committee hearing on proposed bills that would authorize the use of county taxes.
