It’s our annual Seafair preview, a Peltoncast tradition truly unlike any other. But first, we discuss a rising price tag for the KeyArena rebuild and why the M’s might not get the public money they want for Safeco Field capital improvements, plus the Sounders continuing to surge and the start of Seahawks training camp.

Apologies for the audio quality this week; we did the best we could to clean it up.
