« Disneyland Paris in Google Earth | Main | Who Drives The Vancouver SkyTrain? » May 30, 2009"Storm Begin A Life Of Independence"I missed this one when it first hit (traveling on business always puts me behind on the 'ol RSS), but the Seattle Times ran an interesting piece on the new, standalone Seattle Storm: The Storm has about one-third of the employees that the Sonics/Storm had, according to Levinson. The team had to negotiate its own KeyArena lease, and after about a year of discussions with the city, it finalized a 10-year deal that dropped its rent from $15,000 to $5,000 per game. And earlier this year, the team moved its headquarters to a 12,000-square foot, old ice cream-equipment factory in Interbay. It's a great glimpse into the organization, the owners, the philosophy behind the team, and its long-term prospects here in Seattle. (The home opener is a week from tomorrow!)
