The King County Royals were a team of the American Basketball Association based in King County, Washington (which the cities of Seattle and Bellevue are part of) and owned by John Dominguez, who also owns the Bellingham Slam.
The team finished the 2006-2007 ABA season with a 6-14 record and did not qualify for the playoffs. The team suspended operations in the summer of 2007 when the Bellingham Slam announced they were leaving the ABA and joining the International Basketball League.
