Seattle Quotations | Page 3

They've turned the ball over to him. I think they really believe in him and I think the key to the game will be if Big Ben can take charge early on. If he doesn't I think Seattle will win.

It's always tough to play on the road and I thought Seattle played really, really well. This is always a tough place to play. We were able to get ourselves back in the game in the first half but we just could not shake them.

It's definitely a surreal feeling. There are a lot of teams in the WNBA that just said, 'Whew, Seattle lost!' I can tell you that much. That's what makes this hurt we had an opportunity to do some great things and defend our title but we didn't.

It was a great offer, and I'm so appreciative of them for their interest. The opportunity for more playing time was probably in Minnesota, but I'm glad Seattle matched.

As good as we were in Seattle over that five-year period, and that five-year period was as good a five-year period as there had been in the history of the league, I don't know if we had a 14-game winning streak.

The Mt. Baker Ski Area near Seattle set the U.S. record in the 1998-99 season with 1,140 inches - exactly 95 feet. If you visualize 95 feet in terms of Kansas' tallest trees ... well, that's a LOT of snow.

The music map, the Vera Project all of these are steps in the right direction in making the statement that Seattle is a place that has great art, and music is one of those forms of art, ... If the Vera Project is doing well, that means good things for Sub Pop, because those are kids who will want to be musicians or work at Sub Pop.

The divestitures required by the department will ensure that competition at movie theaters in the affected parts of Chicago, New York, Boston, Seattle and Dallas is preserved.

The findings of this report really make clear that Seattle Center is not only vital to the culture of Seattle but to its economic well-being.

Seattle is this curious liberal island.

I trained the whole off-season, ... I work out in Seattle with the Huskies. You can do everything you can off the field, but you can't prepare for practice and games. It's going to take me some time.

It's not Ken Lucas vs. the Seattle Seahawks, it's the Panthers vs. the Seahawks. I don't want the emphasis to be placed on me. It's about this team, because I can't go out there and win this game by myself.

It really is time for Seattle to move K-12 education to the top of the priority list because of the severe challenges facing the district.

That last start was so frustrating. I don't know if I overlooked Seattle or what. Maybe I lost my edge a little. But that last game was not me. This is the way that I'm supposed to throw the ball.

The years of stewardship of this wonderful place have given me the chance to celebrate many accomplishments, overcome many challenges and make sure Seattle Center is on a solid foundation for the future.

The reports this week about the long-term landing spot being Los Angeles were nonsensical, ... L.A.'s been the landing spot for the Indianapolis Colts, the Arizona Cardinals, the Seattle Seahawks, the Minnesota Vikings and any number of other teams, and the last time I looked they were all operating in their communities and L.A. is off the radar screen.

It was disappointing to lose this one. But we have to go up to Seattle and hope things fall in our favor.

We think it's appropriate for the state to allow King County and Seattle to make these decisions in any way that they decide.

We felt pretty good that we were going to be able to get the player. We have a lot of respect for Seattle and their organization, and this wasn't meant to be antagonistic or anything like that. It's just business.

It wasn't so much the coldness as the wetness. I got so much mud in my spikes that it was hard to plate that front leg. There will be days you go out and its muddy. You just pitch through it. It's going to be cold in Seattle and I hope we have a nice day in Oakland.

It was such a great time for music. Being in college radio in the '80s, R.E.M. just happened, Elvis Costello was going strong. The biggest, most famous Seattle band was the Young Fresh Fellows. Our town was halfway between Seattle and Minneapolis on I-90, and so we got tons of shows just by virtue of being the gas-money stop on I-90.

It's a dream come true. Two years ago at this time, I just got released from the Mexican League. Now I'm on the opening-day roster for the Seattle Mariners. It's hard to describe.

It's another game and the next forward step to the goals we're trying to accomplish. We want to get to the Super Bowl and put the Seattle Seahawks and the West Coast on the map.

It's hard to see any team winning three straight road games in three straight weeks with the amount of pressure and what's at stake. It's never happened before, but with Shaun Alexander maybe at less than 100 per cent for Seattle and Pittsburgh playing so well, you never know.

There were a lot of people in the Seattle office that didn't share the policy goals of his clients, and were uncomfortable with him. He was going after a different market. And a lot of folks were uncomfortable.

This is what Seattle is doing getting architects, builders, designers, etc., on the same page. This is huge.

I can see the headline now. Seattle wins Super Bowl. No one saw it.

How many teams are better than them in the NFC? I count one (record-wise), but I think the Bears are too tough for Seattle as long as they don't (mess) it up too bad on offense in the game.

All Seattle did was hold court at home. There's no doubt in my mind that the public is going to pound Pittsburgh.

I love Seattle. I couldn't be anywhere else.

The bluest skies . . . are in Seattle.

What I love most about achieving whatever Ive achieved is that the Seattle Seahawks follow me on Twitter!
