I too like the subtle nod to the space Needle at the top of the anchor. An anchor in more ways than one. Not convinced by the Kraken name, however - I liked Sounders more.

All the Seattle fans will want to stay at the Sylvia Hotel in Vancouver, it looks like Kraken stole their signature S.

inslee probably took some type of social justice offense.

 

this move has pushed arizona into the central division so they might play slightly less games vs. vancouver each season now.  bad news for some wealthier vancouver fans who liked to go watch the matchup in the desert.  in good years that was cheaper than getting your hands on a canucks home game ticket.

With the clock ticking, contractors for the 1-mile Seattle Center Monorail will gut and remodel both stations in anticipation of hockey fans riding the historic trains in October.

 

Waiting-area space will increase. Riders will pass through automatic fare gates, similar to those used by people walking onto state ferries. The new layouts should boost flow and capacity, compared to the old way where everybody walks past a ticketing booth.

 

Construction staging begins Monday, then monorail service will shut down from April 12 to 30 during the demolition phase of the project, said Tom Albro, owner of Seattle Monorail Services, private operator of the city-owned trains.

 

He estimated that 4,000 fans among a sold-out crowd of 17,100 would ride the monorail to Climate Pledge Arena, home of the National Hockey League’s new Seattle Kraken franchise and the four-time WNBA champion Seattle Storm.

Nothing shows you care more about the environment than an ice sheet in a mediterranean climate.

“This shows the commitment and dedication by the Bonderman family to the Kraken and the Seattle community. David is a truly fantastic owner, and we are inspired by Sam’s engagement,” said Leiweke of Holloway’s new role. “We are just beginning this journey with many opportunities in front of us. Sam represents our values and vision and will strengthen the organization with her passion as we continue to build.”

 

After building the NHL franchise from the ground up, the organization’s next challenge will be launching its new American Hockey League farm team, the Coachella Valley Firebirds. The club is set to begin play this fall in a brand new arena in Thousand Palms, California.
