Kraken CEO warns that Washington state business leaders are eyeing exits

Tod Leiweke, leading the charge to bring back the SuperSonics to Seattle and running the Kraken NHL team, sounded a cautionary note for Washington state lawmakers, suggesting that business leaders are considering leaving the state. His concerns go beyond the recent income tax on high earners; he highlighted broader economic implications that could impact the state's business climate. This move could potentially deter major investments and talent, impacting the local economy and the state's ability to attract and retain top-tier sports franchises.
