Seattle has to be close, in a sense. Yeah I know, Seahawks have three Super Bowl appearances and a win, which is everything.
But if you look at their championship game appearances, and just note that they won those instead of find a way to lose them, then in that feeble sense they’re “similar” to the Vikings.
Mariners were good in the 90’s with Randy Johnson and Ken Griffey Jr. Haven’t done much since?
Sonics were so bad they folded.
Kraken are new, no idea what will happen.
They have a major public state flagship university in the core urban area that doesn’t contend for championships in football or basketball.
