Commentary: Has Seattle reached its saturation point in sports? Absolutely not.
I hope the NBA was paying very close attention to the scene in Seattle over the weekend - from the historic Kraken playoff game, to multiple other successful sporting events around town.
Commentary: The Kraken’s method to earning playoff spot is as impressive as the accomplishment itself
The Kraken rarely overreached or overpaid, sticking to a longterm plan that prevented against future suffering in exchange for short-term gain.
Commentary: Grubauer finally becoming the No. 1 goalie we’ve waited for
After a season-plus of lackluster results, Grubauer is finally becoming the top goalie the Kraken envisioned
Commentary: Reforms are needed with his foundation, but Russell Wilson deserves benefit of doubt
Despite the issues raised, Russell’s impact on this community for over a decade has still been profound. His foundation needs reforming, but all his work to change lives was real, and has had tangible effects.
Commentary: Wilson trade could prove to be biggest fleecing of an organization in modern sports history
While the simple answer is that the Broncos demise this season equates to a better future for the Seahawks, it actually means a bit more than that.
Commentary: Quite fitting if this unexpected winning streak helps break long streak of misery
There’s an appropriate symmetry if this was somehow going to be the year that the Mariners finally break through again and reach the playoffs for the first time in 21 years.
Commentary: Potential legislation requiring UW-WSU to stay in same conference is noble – but misguided
Over the weekend, one state representative announced that he will introduce legislation requiring UW and WSU to remain in the same conference as they have since 1917.
Commentary: Patience wearing thin for Mariners – will this time be different?
A team that was projected to win around 84 games is currently on pace to win just 66 games this season – their worst win total in a full season since 2011.
Commentary: Making sense of the most unique schedule of all local teams – Sounders FC
I don’t envy the typical American sports fan trying to understand the typical Sounders schedule, which weaves in two other tournaments right in the middle of their MLS season.
Commentary: Always remember the weekend Seattle welcomed Beniers and J-Rod
Remember this weekend, everyone. Because this was our introduction to the future of Seattle sports. Two guys, just north and south of 20 years old, who could potentially be the face of two pro organizations for years to come.
Commentary: Sounders FC are closer than you might think from facing a world powerhouse
If the Sounders can win CONCACAF Champions League, they could be one win from facing the UEFA Champions League winners at the FIFA Club World Cup. Among the teams still alive in UEFA? Liverpool, Bayern Munich, Manchester City, Chelsea and Real Madrid. The Sounders begin Champions League Semifinals this week.
Commentary: Seattle U men’s basketball thriving despite early-season coaching change
This past weekend, the Redhawks won their seventh straight game. And their 15-4 record is the school’s best start in 58 years.
Commentary: Is the honeymoon over for Seattle Kraken?
No one expected to raise a Stanley Cup in the Kraken’s first season. But no one expected a Kraken team that had some of the most favorable expansion rules in professional sports history to be in second-to-last place in their conference with no playoff hopes by the start of January.
Commentary: Leave us alone with the Wilson rumors until the offseason, please
The Seahawks aren’t trading Russell Wilson tomorrow or the next day or any time between now and the end of the season, so why spend time worrying about it right now?
Commentary: FIFA visit, upcoming postseason big reasons to turn our attention to Sounders FC, OL Reign
This region comes together when championships are at stake. Both local soccer clubs are in position to make history. And this is when they need us the most.
Commentary: Surreal weekend at new Seattle arena foreshadows even better things to come
The prevailing sentiment was simply, "This is not a dream. This is actually happening. What a cool moment for the fans of this city."
Commentary: Giving thanks to the Kraken organization before first official NHL game
Before it all starts, I owe this team a personal thank you.
Commentary: The Shane Waldron hire now makes so much more sense than it originally seemed
Waldron's offense gives us entirely different looks, tempo and misdirection. But it's still an offense that reflects the main tenets of what Carroll believes in.
Commentary: Production, loyalty, price all reasons to pick up Kyle Seager’s option for one more year
Seager's 31 home runs leads the team and is a career high. He also leads the team in RBI.
Commentary: Next Sunday is a chance for Seattle to shine as 'Soccer Capital USA'
Next Sunday, OL Reign play the Portland Thorns at 4, followed by the Sounders hosting the Timbers at 7:30 – with one ticket good for both matches.
