NBA Expansion Vote Looms | Seattle News

NBA owners are voting to explore expansion into Las Vegas and Seattle—cities with deep NBA roots and strong fanbases. While private groups are already bidding for franchises in both markets, approval requires a supermajority vote. Meanwhile, Portland’s Trail Blazers face potential relocation if the city balks at stadium costs, a scenario expansion could help mitigate by reducing teams’ leverage for public funding. With expansion fees potentially totaling $16 billion and strong merchandise sales in Seattle, the league is weighing whether new teams can offset declining TV revenue. A final decision is expected by year’s end, but when these teams actually play remains uncertain. Listen in comfort: Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.

Washington Voters Face Wealth Tax Vote | Seattle News

Washington voters face a pivotal choice this November: keep or kill a new tax on the wealthy. Initiative 645, backed by hundreds of thousands of signatures, seeks to repeal the state’s 9.9% tax on incomes over $1 million — a move Governor Bob Ferguson fiercely opposes, calling it vital for funding school meals, childcare, and working families. While supporters argue the tax is too risky and violates Washington’s no-income-tax tradition, opponents warn its repeal could hurt the economy. With millions already pouring into the campaign and the governor vowing to veto any tax cut if the initiative fails, this ballot battle could reshape the state’s future — and spark a national debate on fairness and fiscal responsibility.
