The northwest is notably light in the professional sport arena (at least for football, baseball, soccer, and basketball). Even moreso now that the Sonics went to OK City. I believe that leaves us with Seattle Seahawks, Seattle Mariners, Seattle Sounders, and Portland Trailblazers- so one of each to cover the pacific northwest. According to various tv shows, people in Alaska tend to root for these teams because they're the closest.... even though Anchorage is 1500 miles from Seattle!
<Slight swerve> For those who are fortunate enough to have two teams to choose from in one city or very close by, how do you choose between them? Do you go with whomever is best at the time, cheaper tickets, broadcasted on tv/radio, family tradition, or something else?
