Godden: Looks like a settlement for Sonics and city
Posted by Jim Brunner
Colleague Sharon Chan reports that she just asked Seattle City Councilmember Jean Godden if the mayor is settling with the Sonics owners.
"It looks like it, but I’m afraid what little I know is sworn to secrecy until after the mayor's press conference," said Godden. A press conference is scheduled for 5 p.m.
Another source confirmed there is a settlement.
