Geoff Baker from the Seattle Time has confirmed that the Ray Bartoszek group will be submitting an NHL Expansion Application for the Tukwila site location.

Arena update: not really “news” just getting on record. Ray Bartozsek will apply to #NHL for expansion team in #Tukwila #NHLtoSeattle #Arena — Geoff Baker (@GeoffBakerTIMES) June 30, 2015

Geoff later followed it up with this article. This was expected news and it is always great to get it confirmed. For now, Bartoszek is the only group of the rumored 3 interested parties that has confirmed their application submission.
