Sonics choose Renton

02.14.2007

Seattle, WA (Basketball News) - The Seattle Supersonics have chosen suburban Renton as the site for a proposed new state-of-the-art, multipurpose arena.

Sonics owner Clay Bennett and King County executive Ron Sims announced the choice Tuesday to state lawmakers.

Bennett said the site decision was made late Monday night and cited Renton’s potential for economic growth as a key reason. It was also made public that the site in south King County is less expensive than a proposed site in Bellevue.

The Renton site is across from a residential and entertainment development called "The Landing", which is near the southern portion of Lake Washington.
