They've moved to Oklahoma City. Outside of Portland (which has its own arena problems and they've always threatened to leave).
Pacific Northwest has gone from 3 NBA teams at the turn of the century to now 1. lol sad.

I'm very good at projecting my feelings.
I hope I can sleep tonight.

It'll be okay, the sun will rise in the morning or the sky will be grey and cloudy.

I hear you. Because of this Earth-shaking news, now I have to make a critically important decision. Should I take a nap, or have a sandwich?
The real trouble with reality is that there's no background music.

Well if you work in Seattle's city hall this is a big deal. You've now got a vacant arena just sitting around. NHL team?

Well usually municipal governments don't like huge money making buildings going empty. They've got to pay the rent!

ah. Okay. Sorry misread.
No, they don't, but they want a main tenant to take over the lease. Having conventions and concerts don't pay the bills necessarily.

WOW! This news makes me wonder?? Who were the Supersonics?
Actually, please don't answer, I am just pretending to care.
When the End comes, don't worry if your party shoes are clean or not. Just make sure you have them on!

I won't shed any tears over it, it's of no importance really.
