Seattle is so much like Vancouver. It could work.

Seattle is not a hockey town, and its an even worse bandwagon fanbase than vancouver. They already have the Seahawks and Mariners, and look at how far and fast the Mariners attendance drops after they have a couple bad seasons. Portland will have a team before Seattle, which is to say, probably never. Portland is too small to support 2 pro teams.
