Otto also captured some video from the event.

Here is former Mayor Mike McGinn, who helped craft the MOU, speaking about the deal and about Seattle as an NBA city.

And here is former Washington Husky and son of Sonics legend Slick Watts, Donald Watts.

Overall, we'd have to say the event was a success. The fans came out in numbers and expressed their feelings in a (mostly) civil manner. It's now in the hands of the City Council.
