Sonic Boom Day is next Monday, April 17th!

Seattle City Council’s Select Committee on Civil Arenas will meet for the first time following the deadline for the KeyArena Renovation Request for Proposals. Limited public comments will be allowed at the committee meeting, but there are many ways to get your voice out to support whichever arena choice you get behind.

Below is a handy written form by Professor Jeff Shulman of the Seattle Growth Podcast for you to use to contact various city leaders regarding your feelings on the arena decision.
